UK based Nigerian blogger and GIOTV host has reacted to the death of a Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor,Bolanle Ibrahim who was shot dead by gunmen while praying on the church’s altar at Mile 12 area of Lagos State.
The deceased who was an assistant pastor at the King of Kings parish of the Church, at Maidan village, was said to be praying for mothers and their children during their children dedication when the gunmen stormed the church.
Maureen gathered that the gunmen went into the church during the service, tried to drag Ibrahim out, but another senior pastor in the church approached them and demanded what they wanted from him.
The distraught wife of the deceased, Mrs. Kudirat Ibrahim said on the fateful day her husband was killed, he was fasting. She said for the period they courted she never suspected her husband to be a cultist, wondering where people heard that he was a cult member, “what they are saying about him are blatant lies, my late husband was a man of God and he served him to his death.
“I wasn’t at home on the fateful day of the incident, I went to take care of my sick mother at the hospital, I had no premonition about his death, after the deed was done, nobody called to inform me. “I never knew my husband had been killed, I was still busy calling him to bring something for me from home, not knowing that he had already been killed, whenever I called him the person who is picking his call kept telling me my husband is preaching, it was later around 7pm that my elder brother came to break the news to me about the gruesome murder of my beloved husband.”
Maureen said all is not well at all because house of GOD is supposed to be a place of safety but unfortunately it wasn’t for late Bolanle Ibrahim.
She also related this incident to Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a microbiology student at the University of Benin, that went inside an empty Redeemed Christian Church of God, in Benin City, southern Nigeria, to get some studying done A 22-year-old Nigerian lady was brutally raped and killed,up till now no judgment about the killer.
