Rv Fr Adeyi...Court
sentences killers of
Benue Catholic priest, Fr.
John Adeyi to death by
hanging
A Makurdi High Court
has sentenced the two
surviving kidnappers
and murderers of Fr
John Adeyi to death by
hanging.
Father Adeyi, the Vicar
General of Catholic
Diocese of Otukpo and
Parish Priest of Catholic
Church Okpoga, was in
2016 kidnapped by
unknown gunmen.
The cleric was later
killed and his body
dumped in a farm near
Otukpa.
However, four of the
kidnappers were
arrested by A team of
the Nigerian police led by
ACP Abba Kyari few
months after.
In a verdict on
Wednesday, the court
found the two surviving
suspects guilty and
handed them death by
hanging.
Reacting to the
judgment, the family of
the late cleric in a
statement forwarded
to DAILY POST,
described the court’s
verdict as justice at
last.
“Today being
25/07/2018, the
kidnappers and
murderers of Fr John
Adeyi have been
convicted and
sentenced to death by
hanging by a High Court
in Makurdi.
“While applauding the
judgement and thanking
God and all those who
made this come true,
we must say that
today is a sad day to be
reminded of the brutal
death of our dear Very
Rev Fr John Adeyi, PhD.
“It is gratifying,
however, to know that
the culprits did not go
unpunished.
”May the soul of Fr
Adeyi continue to rest
in perfect peace with
his creator.” |
