Some assailants, suspected to be members of the Badoo cult
group, have killed a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Fingers
of God Parish, Victor Kanayo, in the Igbogbo area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Kanayo’s wife and child were said to be unconscious and had
been admitted to the Ikorodu General Hospital.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the attack occurred shortly after
the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, held a meeting with security
operatives, community and religious leaders at the palace of the Ikorodu
monarch, Oba Abdulrasheed Shotobi.
The meeting, which started at 10pm on Saturday was said to
have ended around 1am on Sunday, due to the resumed onslaught of the cult
group.
It was learnt that the Badoo cult struck early Sunday
morning in the Offin area of Igbogbo and killed the pastor. His wife and their
10-month-old child were said to have been brutalised with two big stones with
which Kanayo was killed.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike
Oti, said investigations were ongoing into the incident, adding that some
suspects had been arrested.
