Former Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central at the 8th National Assembly, on Saturday frowned at the gruesome killing of Reverend Dauda Bature of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA).
Bature’s abductors had demanded a ₦10 million ransom but he was killed after the payment was delayed.
Sani, on his verified Facebook wall, wrote:
‘The gruesome killing of Reverend Dauda Bature of the ECWA Church Nariya, Igabi LG Kaduna State by bandits is tragic, unfortunate and condemnable.
‘This is another horrible chapter in our history. It’s now clear that everyone lives at the mercy of terrorists. For how long will this continue? Where are those that swore an oath to protect and to defend?’

Africa Daily News, New York gathered that Bandits have killed one Pastor Dauda Bature who was in charge of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) parish in the Narayi area of Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State.
Bature, who was initially abducted by the armed men, was killed despite the payment of an unspecified amount of money to his captors as a ransom for his release.
Although police authorities in Kaduna have yet to react to the killing, a top member of the church confirmed the death of the clergyman to Channels Television on Saturday.
The source who does not want his identity disclosed explained that the bandits kidnapped Bature on November 8 while he was working on his farm.
His farm is said to be situated at a location not far from the Rigasa Train Station on the outskirts of the Kaduna metropolis.
According to the church member, the body of the pastor was found some days ago after his family had paid the ramson demanded by his abductors.
