A
pastor, identified simply as Timothy Abiola, has allegedly shot dead a fellow
pastor, who was also his friend, Pastor Bamiji Ilori.
The
Police Public Relations Officer for the Osun State command, Mrs. Folasade
Odoro, who said this in a statement on Sunday, added that the reason for the
action had yet to be ascertained.
The
name of the church of the two pastors was not stated, but the PPRO said Abiola
shot his colleague with a locally-made gun.
She
stated that the gun had been recovered by the police, adding that the incident
happened in Ikire, Osun State.
She
said that the suspect was arrested following a report made to the police by a
relative of the deceased cleric.
She
said, “Ilori had confessed to the police. Investigation into the killing has
started and the suspect will soon be charged to court.”
She
stated that the remains of late pastor had been deposited at the Catholic
Hospital’s morgue in the Oluyoro area, Apomu, for autopsy.
It
will be recalled that a pastor identified as Adepoju, had in January 2014
stabbed his colleague and friend, Pastor Julius Oguntoye, to death in Gbongan,
in Osun State.
