Alebiosu claimed that the killers, to prove to his relative that they actually came for him, showed him his photograph, New Telegraph also reported.

According to the relative's suspicion, this is the result of a business deal that went sour.

She narrated:

“Before they killed him, they showed him his picture to identify if he was actually the right person they came for. His death was an unfortunate one, we have lost a gentleman, it was true we were born as Muslims, but we converted to Christianity. My thinking is that my brother had a business transaction with someone.

“I was told when the assailants wanted to drag him out of the pulpit where he was praying for women who brought their children for dedication, he begged them to kill him there and that was where he was eventually killed by the gunmen.”

On her part, the pastor's wife, Kudirat Ibrahim, revealed that her husband was fasting on the day he was murdered.
