Adamawa: Gov Fintiri reacts to death of Pastor Hinjari, ex-council boss
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State has expressed dismay over the killing of a leading Pastor, Apostle Jerry Hinjari; and death of a former local council chairman, Abdullahi Duda.
Apostle Hinjari, who was the founder and presiding pastor of a Yola-based church, Christ Nation International, was found dead on Thursday, January 26, after he was abducted from his house in the Adamawa State capital the night before.
In a statement passed to newsmen Sunday evening by Governor Fintiri’s Press Secretary, Humhashi Wonosikou, the governor said the killing of the pastor devastated him.
According to him, “Apostle Hinjari led a purposeful and impactful life and though he was young at heart, the pastor stood tall and had never wavered in continuously delivering messages of hope, talking about boisterous relationship issues and good Christian conduct that found ready expression with the youths.”
