The sad incident, which occurred at Jarret Street by Cable Point area of the town, threw the area into confusion.
Our reporter gathered that the pastor had wanted to take his brother who was said to be mentally deranged to the church for spiritual deliverance but the brother put up stiff resistance.
Eyewitness said that “at a point, two of them (brothers) went into scuffle and attempts by neighbours to separate them yielded no result. The brother became violent, dashed into the room, took a cutlass and descended on the pastor, cutting him on the neck severally which led to his bleeding to death.”
Meanwhile, the killer brother has been arrested and taken to Police ‘B’ Division while the corpse of the pastor has been deposited at the mortuary.
Delta State police public relations officer, PPRO, Charles Muka, confirmed the story, saying, “we are handling the matter”..
