Gunmen Attack : "St Thomas Catholic Church Onireke, Lagos" - Priest Shot by 40ng: 2:29pm On Sep 08, 2017
@VivianGist

Gunmen on Friday morning opened fire on parish priest of St Thomas Catholic Church, Daniel Nwankwo, at Onireke, Lagos.

According to TheCable, a parishoner, who simply identified himself as Valentine, said the assailant struck around 9am.

He explained that the victim had just finished attending to a church member.

“They were three in number. The men came into the church as if they were parishioners,” Valentine told TheCable.

 “When they arrived here, father was taking confession. As he was walking away, they approached him and told him they wanted N5,000 to pay the hospital bill of someone.

“Before you knew what was happening, they had shot him on the stomach.”

So what's up with the recent attacks on Catholic priests and institutions? Are they unrelated, isolated coincidences, mere happenstance, or something darker?


And why does a larger number of these attacks seem to be on Igbos?


Conspiracy theorists over to you guys.

The Catholic Church and the Priesthood seem to be under sustained attack across the country recently, that seem orchestrated. The Church must rise up to the challenge by protecting itself from these attack since Government has failed to handle its responsibility.
