Catholic priest assassinated in Imo

During the weekend, a Claretian priest of the Catholic Church was murdered in Owerri, Imo state.
The priest, whose full identity could not be ascertained at press time, was an academic staff of Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo, in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Andrew Enwerem, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident, he said the priest was murdered by assassins on a bush path.
Enwerem said:
“The police are suspecting that it was a clear case of assassination. The priest was gruesomely murdered along a very lonely bush path that would have led him into Port Harcourt Road.”
While noting that whatever happened to the priest might be connected with the bickering and happenings in Imo Polytechnic, Enwerem, however, wondered why the Catholic priest chose to use such a lonely bush path.

He said:
“The police are suspecting that whatever happened to the priest cannot be far from the ceaseless bickering emanating from the polytechnic.
“Again, I wonder why the priest chose to use the lonely bush path on his Toyota SUV.”
He confirmed that although the police have recovered the vehicle, no arrests had been made in connection with the crime.
The PPRO said that police patrol teams were despatched to the area as soon as the information was passed on to them.
He said:
“The youths of the community joined the police in combing the surrounding bushes. The hoodlums simply perfected and carried out their damnable act before vanishing into the thin air.”
Enwerem confirmed that the command had not only expanded its dragnet to all corners of the state, but were following all available leads.
Enwerem said: “There is the likelihood that the assassins carefully monitored the priest’s movement and laid ambush for him on his track. Honestly, it was a gruesome murder.”

  5. May his soul RIP..

    Linda,i think you should always be sure of some information before publicity...In regards to the pregnancy stuff of Stephanie Linus, she didn't say she was not ready for it..She clearly stated that they hoped on God and his covenant & God showed them mercy...Simply put,she was hopeful and she never avoided getting pregnant.
    Thank you.

    1. Honestly. A priest of God for that matter. God will not have mercy on their souls at all. They are cursed forever. No amount of repentance can cleanse it.

  13. I hate when pple argue blindly and blame negatively. Who knows if he was forced into the Bush part. Since police wondered why he chose such road, they should also consider that they assailants may have force him into such place. Hmmmmmm! I don't know what anybody could gain in this world by assasinating one another. The mansions, fat accounts, big and excotic cars and whatever we call pleasure of this world would be left behind and unknown people shall inherit it.

  44. It is end of the road for the enemies of the people of God. The enemy has exhausted his own time, and must give way for the Kingdom of God to come on earth.
