Gunmen on Monday attacked the home of a Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Austin Ifeji and killed his son.
The bandits also abducted the pastor’s wife during the attack on his residence in the Gwagwalade area of Mararaba, a Nasarawa State community close to Abuja.
It was gathered that when the gunmen invaded Ifeji’s home in the early hours of Monday, he managed to escape with machete cuts while the criminals shot at his son.
Residents said while the son was rushed to the hospital where he was confirmed dead, the bandits have requested a N30 million ransom for the release of the pastor’s wife
“The boy is the only son of his parents as he has four other females.
“He did not like how they were manhandling his mother and confronted the kidnappers and they shot him,” the source said.
The spokesperson for the police in Nasarawa, Rahman Nansel said the command is yet to be briefed on the matter.
