Dunamis Pastor Dies While Fleeing Suspected Bandits After Makurdi Crusade!
Reported by Mustapha Labake Omowumi (Journalist)| Sele Media Africa
Tragedy has struck the Christian community in Benue State following the reported death of a pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre who allegedly died while attempting to escape a suspected bandit attack shortly after a crusade in Makurdi.
According to accounts gathered from local sources and widely circulated reports, the cleric had just concluded a church outreach programme in Makurdi when armed assailants believed to be bandits reportedly targeted travelers along the route. In the ensuing panic, the pastor was said to have attempted to flee the scene but tragically lost his life.
Details surrounding the exact circumstances of the incident remain limited as of press time. However, eyewitness narratives indicate that the attack triggered chaos among road users, forcing many to abandon their vehicles in a desperate bid to avoid harm.
Security authorities in Benue State have yet to release a comprehensive official statement confirming the full sequence of events. The incident nonetheless underscores persistent security concerns across parts of North-Central Nigeria, where sporadic attacks by armed groups continue to threaten civilian movement and religious activities.
The leadership of Dunamis International Gospel Centre has not publicly issued a detailed response at the time of filing this report. Members of the church and the wider Christian community have begun expressing condolences on social media, describing the development as a painful loss.
Benue State, particularly the Makurdi axis, has experienced intermittent security challenges in recent years, with government and security agencies repeatedly pledging intensified operations to curb banditry and related violent crimes.
