A pastor based in Enugu State has died after gunmen  attacked, shot him then threw his body into the water.

Victor Nnaduagwu who lived at Ilukpe Street, Asata, Enugu was found dead in Asata stream, on Wednesday.

According to reports, Police Public Relations Officer in Enugu State, Ebere Amaraizu, had simply confirmed the incident while a reliable source who spoke to reporters said:

“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.

Nnaduagwu was described as a laid-back man, “who ensured that we had security in the neighbourhood”.

“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.”
