Taraba Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Joseph Kwaji told our correspondent that the killers strangled the pastor to death where his car broke down along the way.
“The pastor’s car broke down at Chediya on his return from Kogi. He then phoned his mechanic at Jalingo to help him fix the car. When the mechanic arrived, the two men agreed to hire a vehicle at nearby Dan Anacha, which would toll the car to Jalingo”, he said.
According to Kwaji, the mechanic upon  return to the scene could not find the pastor, adding that ‘after a thorough search, his body was found in the area’.
