TRACKING___Mr Emmanuel Bileya, pastor of Christian Reformed Church, Nigeria and his wife, Juliana were found dead, with gunshot wounds on their farm in Mararaba, Donga local government area of Taraba state.
The couple were reportedly working on their farm when they were killed by unknown gunmen.
Reacting to the sad incident, Taraba state governor, Darius Ishaku expressed shock over the recent killings in Southern Taraba communities and condemned the killing of the cleric and his wife.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Bala Dan Abu, Ishaku described the latest killing as wicked and inhuman.
He said, “killings of this nature have happened too often recently in Southern Taraba communities and it is unhelpful to the on-going efforts of government to achieve lasting peace among communities in the area.”
He sympathized with the surviving members of Pastor Bileya’s immediate and extended families as well as pastors and members of CRC-N in Mararaba where he served until his death.
