Police in Osun State has said that a pastor identified 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 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 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. “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.
