Another incident of assassination coming from Benin city. Members of Christ Apostolic Church (Mountain of Blessing), located at 121 Jamila Street, Ikpoba-Hill, Benin City, have been thrown into mourning following the assassination of their zona pastor, Pastor Philip Afemike by unknown gunmen. The incident happened on Friday night when some armed men walked into the church premises where the residence of the pastor is also located and shot him dead. According to the sister of the deceased, Mrs Dennis Dupe, four gunmen stormed the premises in the late hours of Friday night looking for the pastor whom they later found where he was sleeping and shot him dead in the process. She added that they are yet to know what led to the assassination and what he must have done to warrant it. Residents said they alerted the police during the attack on the pastor which lasted for several hours, but the police arrived at the resident, did nothing and went back to their station to report that nothing had happened and the area was calm. Some other people who sustained injuries during the attack were taken to the hospital for medical attention while the deceased was deposited in the mortuary. Below are photos from the scene of the incident.

While it may not be the case in this particular instance, there have been a number of incidents where gunmen busy robbing victims became trigger-happy when one of the victims decided to start shouting "Blood of Jeesus!", or some such challenge, only to be silenced with a shot before the second verse escaped their lips.

When confronted by armed men, and with no escape path in sight, do NOT start shouting for Jeesus to come down from heaven in a helicopter gunship and save you, because frankly, you are not that important to Jeeesus, but more to the point, He expects you to think survival first, and slogans a very distant second, preferably AFTER the shooting stops and the gang have departed.

So, in a nutshell, if you ever find yourself among a captive audience held by men vested with the supreme power of firepower, keep your dialog with Jeeesus SILENT, or you may find yourself seated on Jeeeesus' right or left side a lot sooner than would have been the case if you had only just shut the phuck up and emptied your pockets as ordered.

These kind of killing is tagged Boko-Haram terrorist's handiwork in the north. And the police goes to bed without any investigation while the culprits are smiling their way freely.R.I.P pastor.
