Sina Babarinde was worshipping at the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Living Word Parish, Basin Road, Ilorin, Kwara, Sunday morning when he stepped out to take a phone call.
It turned out a fatal call for the estate agent.
A hail of bullets came down on him, and other worshipers came out to investigate.
“As at the time the congregation got out of the church to see what was happening, it was discovered that the estate agent was already in the pool of his blood,” the state police commnd PRO Okasanmi Ajayi said Monday night.
“The shells of the bullet used in killing the deceased have been recovered and the corpse has been deposited at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) for postmortem.
