According to reports, also killed on Sunday in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, was a retired pastor of COCIN Church, Rev. Ilaisha Kabura.
He was said to have been shot by gunmen in the presence of his family while preparing to go to church.
An eyewitness said he saw the two gunmen in front of the Reverend’s family house before they fired several shots at him and fled without being arrested.
