Pastor Luka Ubangari of Redeemed Christian Church of God at Shawa village, near Godogodo, in Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State was on Sunday night killed by gunmen suspected to be herdsmen. Ubangari was said to have been ambushed, shot and killed while returning from evangelism to Golkofa village. A source who craved anonymity told PUNCH that despite the governor’s promise “herdsmen who are out to remove us from our ancestral lands, continue to kill our people. We were happy that the Governor (Nasir El-Rufai) had visited and assured us of improved security and that the killers would be found and punished. To our shock, Pastor Luka Ubangari was ambushed, shot and killed as he was riding his motorcycle home after an evangelical visit to Golkofa.”
