“It was true we were born as Muslims, but we converted to Christianity. My thinking is that my brother had business transaction with someone.

“I was told when the assailants wanted to drag him out of the pulpit where he was praying for women who brought their children for dedication, he begged them to kill him there and that was where he was eventually killed by the gunmen.”

A man was attacked during church service. The assailants went for him in the church. We are investigating the case because we have a clue into the killing,” he told TheCable.
