Bandits kill Kaduna Pastor
The remains of his body have been deposited in Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, Kaduna, Nigeria
Kaduna State– A pastor, Rev. Mennasah Ibrahim, of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) in Kurebe, Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, has been killed by bandits.
It was gathered that the clergy was attacked and killed on his way from an official church assignment from Kurebe in Birnin Gwari Local Government Area of the state on Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
In a press statement jointly signed by his family and CAN Chairman, Gure branch, Rev. Yahaya Kinge, they urged Governor Uba Sani’s led government as well as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to help secure justice for the victim.
According to the statement, the Nigerian youth and women who are direct victims of banditry and insurgency are fed up due to the inability of the Federal Government to find a lasting solution to the incessant killings of innocent people.
“The hard push to the wall is enough for us to bear no longer. As of the time of filing this report, no statement has been made either by Kaduna State Police Command or the state government.
“The remains of his body have been deposited in Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital, Kaduna, Nigeria.”
The Christian Association of Nigeria, Gure Branch, and family members have demanded justice for the victim. Before his death, Rev. Ibrahim was a pastor serving with the ECWA at Kaduna Central District Church Council (KCDCC).
