A Nigerian gospel artiste and pharmacist identified as Precious Orogun has been killed by suspected bandits
Precious was a member of The Xplicits Gospel Crew, a group of talented, gifted and resourceful musician from different states in Nigeria.
It was gathered that Precious boarded a vehicle from Abuja to Jos, Plateau State and was last seen at Kiyaya, along Jos-Kaduna road on December 3, 2022.
As seen in a post shared by one Omoregie, the deceased was kidnapped while on his way to Jos for a music programme. The kidnappers had demanded for ransom before his decomposed body was found in a community by his father.
“Precious Traveled to Jos in Nov/ Dec for a Music Programme and was kidnapped. They demanded Money. Etc story. Dad had to visit the community looking for his son and found a decayed body on the floor. Put hands into his pocket and brought out his ID card and it was his boy. They killed him months back and dumped him, didn’t even contact his family until his dad went searching. I traveled to Jos many years ago and it was safe until the recent administration and Nigeria became unsafe. Rest on Brother. No one deserves to die like this,” he wrote.
A post of missing person shared by one Odukoya Celeb on February 14, 2023, said the kidnappers contacted the deceased’s wife and demanded N10m ransom but all efforts to contact the abductors proved abortive.
