Two church members were chosen to deliver the ransom along with unconventional items like recharge cards, chicken, and alcoholic drinks, as per the kidnappers’ demands.
Upon reaching the kidnappers’ den, the church members found the pastor alive. However, a tragic twist unfolded when, after initially letting them go, the abductors called Pastor Musa back. Realizing escape was impossible due to the captors’ sophisticated weapons, he complied. In a heart-wrenching moment, the abductors shot him on his return, ending his life instantly.
The devastating news was shared on the church’s social media platform, sending shockwaves through the congregation and the community. Pastor Musa’s previous role at ECWA Bishara, Ajaokuta, added to the sorrow, amplifying panic among the church members and the entire state.
Confirming the incident, the Kogi State Police Command assured that an investigation was underway, vowing to apprehend and prosecute those responsible for the heinous act. The tragic loss of Pastor David Musa has left a profound impact on the church, his family, and the community, invoking a collective sense of grief.
