The Edo State Police Command has confirmed the shooting to death of a church chorister, simply identified as Success. As at press time, it could not be ascertained if the incident which occurred last week Sunday (3 March, 2024), is cult-related or not.

According to an eyewitness who craved anonymity: “Immediately he stepped out, one of the assailants held him by his waist within the church premises. “In the ensuing confusion, Success was wrestled to the floor, while another assailant emerged and shot him on the floor,”


“The gunmen thereafter collected his [Success] mobile phone before fleeing the scene.” The incident reportedly threw the worshippers into confusion and wailing.

All efforts to revive the victim was said to be unsuccessful as he was pronounced dead at a private medical facility he was rushed to for medicare.


The Spokesman for the State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, who confirmed the incident, added: “investigation is on to arrest the perpetrators.”
