Some armed robbery suspects, on Monday, have shot dead the Lagos State Pastor (Co-ordinator) of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement (TLCCRM), Mr. Chukwuemeka Okpokpo. Daily Times gathered the two man armed robbery suspects on Okada allegedly trailed 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 parlance as “Lagos Co-ordinator”, was coming out from a commercial bank when the gunmen on Okada trailed 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 fuelled suspicion of assassination. He added that the best option was for the police to apply both theory of assassination and armed robbery. When the Daily Times reporter visited the headquarter of the Church, at Ijesha, many people who had already heard the news wore gloomy faces, while others discussed the issue in a low tone. An attempt by our reporter to speak with the Director of Press of the church Mr. Chidi Louis proved abortive as his were ringing without response. A staff of the office known as Timothy told the curious reporters who converged on the church that his boss was not around.
