A Nigerian pastor was at the weekend shot
to death in his apartment complex near
10th Street and I-465 in Indianapolis, US.
The pastor who has been identified as
Oluwadayomisi Epenusi, a 66-year-old, had
just relocated to the US from Nigeria where
he worked as a pastor.
Authorities in Indianapolis are currently on
a manhunt for the killer to bring his
assailants to justice.
Describing the sad event, his neighbor who
identified herself as Kristina Teagu, said she
heard multiple gunshots from his
apartment.
'I heard about 15 gunshots. It was
nuts,' said the neighbour. Teague
said she immediately called 911.
However, before the arrival of the
police, a neighbor had driven him to
the hospital where he died.
Another neighbor identified as Moshood
Kafaru, also said attempts were made by
his roommate to ascertain fact when he
was being rushed to the hospital but he
couldn't say a word.
'The roommate said when he was on
the way he asked him what
happened and why he got shot, but
the man couldn't say anything
because he was still in pain.'
Kafaru described Epenusi as a nice person
who never bothered anyone in the
neighborhood
“He was just a nice person who
would go to work and come home
and go to church. He didn't talk to
nobody. He never bothered nobody.'
According to Kafaru, he believes the
violence started as a robbery.
'He was holding a purse. He refused
to let it go. They thought he had
money in the purse, but he didn’t
want to let it go.'
According to Fox News, a large group of
Nigerians live in the apartment complex
and those that knew Epenusi say he had
been working hard to help his kids to move
to the United States.
'They just got a visa. That is why he
was working so hard, so his family
can come over here,' said Kafaru, 'He
was just an innocent man and it just
upsets me that he’s gone just like
that.”
'It’s really sad because he was here
sending money to his family,” said
Teague.
However, Police have asked people with
information to contact Crime Stoppers at
317-262-TIPS.
