Mr. Success, a chorister of a Pentecostal church, was fatally murdered by suspected shooters last Sunday.
According to Platinum Times, the incident occurred at 8 a.m. that tragic day.
It was said that the church is located near Murtala Mohammed Way in Benin City.
It was also alleged that the deceased and other believers were taking their Sunday school lessons when the attackers attacked the chapel.
