Pastor Luka Ubangari of the Redeemed Christian Church of God has been shot dead by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Godogodo, Kaduna state.
According to Punch, the pastor was ambushed, shot and killed while on his motorcycle after an evangelical visit to Golkofa, an area in Godogodo.
This is happening few days after Governor Nasir El Rufai visited the area to assure citizens that herdsmen's attacks will soon abate and the perpetrators will be brought to book.
“We were happy that Governor Nasir el-Rufai visited and assured us of improved security and that the killers would be found and punished.
“To our shock, Pastor Luka Ubangari was ambushed, shot and killed as he was riding his motorcycle after an evangelical visit to Golkofa. He was killed by Fulani men who were out to remove us from our ancestral lands.”
Mr. Nuhu Tukura, the President of the Ningon Community Development Association, said Ningon, another area of the state, was attacked on Sunday night and two natives, Gambo Sule, 38, and Benjamin Auta, 35, were killed by gunmen.
The police confirmed the attacks but said only one person was killed.
“When the people learnt of the invasion of the attackers, the police in the area swiftly moved in with APC to chase away the attackers. However, one person was killed. Our men acted quickly to save the situation," Aliyu Usman, the police spokesman for the state said.
