Some men suspected to be armed robbers have allegedly killed the bursar of the Akure Diocese of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, Mr. Gabriel Kola Abiodun.
The deceased was shot dead at the diocesan office at Alagbaka, Akure, the Ondo State capital shortly after returning from bank.
According to an eyewitness, “The man (bursar) had just returned from one of the new generation banks to withdraw some fund which we learn was probably meant for retirees.
“It was that money which is about N500,000 that the three gunmen trailed him down with, to the church diocese and he was shot in the tigh.
“I think the armed robbers struggled the money with him, collected it and before they ran from the premises.
“By the time we would come out of the building, there is already blood stains everywhere on the floor,” he said.
His remains have been evacuated and taken to the mortuary by some policemen.
