Pastor Taiwo
Dokun, a pastor with the Redeem Christian Church of God in Borno state, was allegedly
shot dead and butchered by Boko Haram men during the Monday July 14th 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 same day of the attack.
A resident
of the village, Jacob Mamza, gave an account of how the pastor was killed to
Vanguard;
"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 where-about is unknown as
they have not been seen since the attack on Monday. 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.
