Two Catholic Priests of Nsukka Diocese were on Thursday 12 July 2018, manhandled and severely injured by some youths of Ogbodu-Aba in Udenu Local Government Area, Enugu State.

Rev. Fr. Peter Chikwado Udaya, the parish priest of St. Patrick’s Parish Ibenda and Rev. Fr. Daniel Tochukwu Akubue, the parish priest of St. Mary’s Parish Ada-Obollo and the assistant Diocesan Liturgist, were attacked as they were going back to their duty posts after a brief visit from St. Charles Parish Eha-Ndiagu.

It was gathered that as the two clergy men got to Ogbodu-Aba, they were stopped, blocked and shamefully harassed by some masquerades and the slightest attempt by the priests to inquire what was amiss were greeted with rains of lashes and massive downpour of slaps from every side.

The youths rounded them up and made it difficult for them to escape and pounced on them until the two priests sustained serious injuries.

The crowds that gathered as the incident was going on - did not even help the priests; instead they encouraged and hailed the youths to go on with their mischievous act.

According to reports, the two priests were eventually rescued by Mr. Stephen Eze and his wife who later was said to have been ostracized by the community members.

Shepherd Communications learnt that Fr. Chikwado Udaya during the attack, sustained a lot of injuries some of which affected his vision. In fact, since the ugly incident occurred, he has not been able to see with one of his eyes. He has already undergone an eye operation but the situation is still bad. Fr. Akubue Daniel as at the time of filing this report is still receiving treatment.

Bring those masquerade to the Altar

Awọ Adịghị agba ọsọ ehihie na efu

I hope those Priests didn't destroy or try to destroy their Traditional worship place.

As we Christians won't take it lightly with any Muslim or anybody that tries to destroy our church, So will Traditional worshipers defend their place

Masquerade wey sabi

Donald95:
too bad

Not bad though

They started it by confronting them in there shrines

The masquerade decides to pay them homage this time around

Best news.
Thank you Satan.

Priests; Sticks and stones may break my bones..

Masquerade; you wanna test?

They've embarck on a journey their returning is the question.

Again what was the offence of the rev gentlemen and why were their helpers ostracised by the community?

I was booking space

Barbaric if the attack was unprovoked!!

But because of the previous trends of burning down of shrines and its heritage amongst local priest, I would say, Catholic priest should stop getting into the way of masquerades else, lots of lashes awaits them!

Shame on the masquerade if this attack was unprovoked. This type of attitude doesn't reflect the peaceful nature of Igbo culture.

I love my culture and all... but this here is unacceptable
