Some gunmen have reportedly killed a retired principal and the Lay President of Methodist Church of Nigeria, Mr Christopher Karigidi, in Igbobini Diocese, Irele Local Government of Ondo State.

Karigidi was killed in the early morning of Monday by the unknown gunmen who invaded his home in Ode Irele.

It was, however, not clear if hoodlums who killed Karigidi were assassins or armed robbers as some witnesses claimed the hoodlums left without taking anything from his home.
