Robbers Kill Lord's Chosen Pastor In Lagos

On Monday, some armed robbers shot dead the Lagos State Pastor of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement (TLCCRM), Mr. Chukwuemeka Okpokpo. 

It was gathered that the two armed robbery suspects on Okada allegedly tracked the late pastor from a bank in Amuwo Odofin area of FESTAC, very close to the Apple Junction and shot him dead. A police source said the pastor, popularly known in the church as “Lagos Co-ordinator”, was coming out from a commercial bank when the gunmen on Okada followed him up to a certain point before killing him. 

The senior police officer said the police would not narrow down its investigation on armed robbery alone, because of the manner the robbery suspects killed Okpokpo had raised concern of assassination.

He added that the best option was for the police to apply both theory of assassination and armed robbery. Members of the church at Ijesha that heard the news were so sad, while others discussed the issue in a low tone.
