Unable to swiftly move before they arrived, Adebayo was shot in the central part of his forehead from a distance of less than 5mtrs.
A typical AK-47 propelled bullet would pierce any surface and burst out the other end within the length of a football field.
The cleric, however, still managed to make emergency phone contacts, even while blood was gushing out from his forehead.
“I don’t know how it happened,” said Adebayo. God, the cleric said did it.
