The Edo State Police Command has confirmed the k#lling of Mrs Peace Chinyereugo, wife of the pastor of God’s Vineyard of Grace Dominion Assembly, Rev. Dr Samuel Chinyereugo, by g¥nmen in Edo State.
According to Daily Trust, the pastor was att@cked by g¥nmen suspected to be ass@ssins in front of the church located at Upper Lawani Street, New Benin, Edo State on August 14, 2023.
It was further gathered that Pastor Samuel and his assistant also sustained b¥ll£t inj¥ries during the att@ck.
The gunmen, it was gathered, trailed the cleric, who drove in the company of his wife to the church before opening fire on them in front of the church.
The assailants trailed the cleric from the GRA area of the city, where he had visited a friend and on getting close to his church, the vehicle overtook and blocked his car.
Three armed men were said to have alighted from the car and opened fir£ on them and in the process, the pastor, his wife and his assistant sustained inj¥ries.
The trio were rushed to the hospital but the pastor’s wife was later confirmed d£ad by the doctor.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, who confirmed the incident, said no arrest has been made so far but that the command had commenced a full-scale investigation to unmask and prosecute the perpetrators.
