Jesus Covenant Bible Church’s pastor was at the weekend found dead in a drainage system along Okpuno-Uzodike street by Bank Road, Nnewi, Anambra State.
It was gathered that the deceased was murdered during a robbery attack in one of the commercial banks in the area.
A resident who gave her name as Obiageli, said the deceased, whose church houses his residence, met his death after rushing out to ascertain the noise he heard.
“The armed robbers were attempting to gain access into one of the commercial banks around the area when the pastor went out to ascertain what was happening,” she said, adding that they later found his body in a drainage about 6:30am the following day.
The police in Nnewi said the body had been deposited in a mortuary while investigations on the matter continued.
