He said, “There are many people that worship in my church; there is no way I can recognise everybody.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident, said the wife and relatives of the deceased had been contacted.
“We found a Nokia handset and a sum of N2,500 on him, we found the Bible on him, but we are not certain that he came to worship at the prayer center,” Joseph added.
