Grief took hold of Iwewe-lchama community in Okpokwu LGA of Benue
State, Friday night after one Mr. Adoko, a hunter killed a pastor and
injured three others, DailyPost reports.
It was gathered that the man had taken his gun and was about
shooting the mother when he shot and killed one Pastor Ojobo and injured
three other persons who came to rescue the old woman from his grip.
Trouble started after the man's wife cooked the meet he had killed
the previous day even after the husband warned her not to touch it
because he had planned to sell it and raise some money.
An eyewitness said that after realizing that the wife had cooked the meet, the man got infuriated and went berserk.
“When he got home and discovered that the wife ignored his warning, argument ensued between them,” the eyewitness said.
Things took a violent turn when the man took his gun and threatened
to shoot the mother, who raised alarm, attracting the attention of the
pastor for daring to support his wife.
The source said the pastor, who tried to rescued the woman from his
son’s grip got more than he bargained for as the angry hunter pulled
the trigger and shot him dead on the spot.
The young man warned that nobody should meddle into the matter but
three other neighbours came in and were seriously injured. It was
gathered that it took some strong youths from the community to overpower
the young hunter.
