A cleric in Enugu State, Victor Nnaduagwu, has been killed by gunmen.
The deceased lived at Ilukpe Street, Asata, Enugu.
The PUNCH learnt on Thursday that many residents had fled the street for fear of police arrest.
Residents said the cleric’s battered body was found in Asata Stream, on Wednesday.
“Some persons, who had gone to fetch water in the morning, saw his lifeless body and raised alarm, which attracted many people to the scene.
“The Pastor had several wounds in his body, suggesting that they might have killed him by hitting him with hard objects,” a source said.
The source, a lady, described the late cleric as an easy going man, “who ensured that we had security in the neighbourhood”.
She added, “He was our security man in this street; you can see the location of his house. So each time, he was always there with his dog and with that he scared bad people away from this area. We are indeed going to miss him.”
Police Public Relations Officer in Enugu State, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, confirmed the incident.
