Police investigating the bloody murder of a Redeemed Christian Church of God pastor in Ikorodu last night say they are looking at the victim’s past association for any connection with the crime.

Identified as Victor Kanayo, the Pastor at Fingers of God Parish, Igbogbo, was allegedly murdered on Sunday, at about 7pm, at Offin, Igbogbo, a suburb of Ikorodu town, in Lagos.

The crime scene picture released by the police shows Kanayo in a pool of blood with his head smashed.

Lagos police spokesman, SP Chike Oti, says in a statement: “The command has made a couple of arrests and suspects are being questioned with a view to discover the author of the heinous crime. The Commissioner of Police Lagos State has also dispatched a team of crack detectives to unravel those behind the murder, dig into the past of the victim and see if there is a correlation between his past and his fate. The issue of his past before he became a born again Christian is of interest to the police because of a human skull tattoo  drawn on his left arm which gives the victim away as one who may have belonged to any of the dreaded cult groups.

“Meanwhile investigation into the case is on-going; findings will be made public as usual by the CP Lagos State.”
