Unknown gunmen have shot and killed Mrs. Peace Chinyereugo, wife of the Pastor of God’s Vineyard of Grace Dominion Assembly, Rev. Samuel Chinyereugo, in Benin, Edo State.
The incident occurred at about 7.36 pm on Monday, 14 August, 2023, at the premises of the church, located at No. 101, Upper Lawani Street, New Benin, Benin City.
Eyewitnesses related that three armed men alighted from their vehicle and opened fire on the pastor, his wife and his yet to-be-named assistant.
