Sad reports coming from Borno State are that a pastor with the Redeem Christian Church of God in Borno state, Pastor Taiwo Dokun was shot dead and butchered by Boko Haram men on Monday July 14th, during the attack on Dille village in Askira-Uba LGA of Borno state.
The late pastor's wife and three children are feared to have been taken by the sect men who reportedly abducted some people on the day of the attack.
A resident of the village, Jacob Mamza, gave an account of how the pastor was killed to Vanguard, read below:
"The pastor was in his house at about 6am when the insurgents attacked the village. His house was surrounded by the hoodlums and while attempting to run he was shot. Pastor Taiwo was running to a neighbour’s house and it was in the course of his fleeing that he was shot in the head and the chest and the insurgent equally came to butcher him to make sure that he was dead.” he said.
Church members say the late pastor's wife and children's whereabout is unknown as they have not been seen since the attack.
They have ruled out death as their bodies are not among those they gathered after the attack and suggested they may have been taken away by the sect men who abducted some people on the day of the attack.
