According to one of his church members, Samuel, the pastor went back to check the state of the church after the attack when the invaders shot and killed him.

The pastor, who had earlier posted on his Facebook account how he escaped the morning attack, died a few hours later.
Hulobu had scheduled a crusade programme christened, ‘Let the fire fall: Three nights of Wanders,’ billed to take place between April 13th and 15th in the church before the incident.
