Tears As Abia Community Buries Catechist Beheaded By Gunmen by Yibo(op): 5:38am On May 27, 2022
ONITSHA— As the menace of gunmen continued unabated in various parts of the South-East geopolitical zone, tears flowed freely yesterday at Umutu Autonomous community, Lokpaukwu-Umuchieze in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State as the headless body of Chief Clement Umeh, Catechist of St. Clement’s Catholic Church, Lokpaukwu, was buried.


The late Umeh, according to sources, was beheaded by about 20 gunmen that invaded his home in the village last Sunday.

The sources said the gunmen had on arrival dragged the catechist outside from his parlour, tied his hands, beheaded him, set his house ablaze and made away with his head.


At press time, there was no clue as to what prompted the gunmen to murder him in such a manner.

Confirming the incident and his burial, President-General of Umutu Autonomous Community, Victor Emeh, told newsmen on phone that the circumstances surrounding Umeh’s murder remained a puzzle to the entire people of Umutu and beyond.


Emeh further confirmed that the police authorities were informed about the incident and they dispatched some policemen, who came and took photographs and video records of his headless body and the burnt house before his burial

Some elderly men from the area, who spoke on anonymous condition, said by their custom, any compound where such a sacrilegious incident occurred is usually regarded as a bad land, which is no longer fit for human habitation, except certain sacrifices are performed to clean the compound.

What a terrible way to go.

There's so much going on underneath that we don't know. The gunmen have a mission and it's not about politics and fight for NK ' s release.

Sacrilegious activities of late have become on the increase in the South East. Every drop of blood that touches the earth cries for vengeance. We don't need any soothsayer to confirm the fact that all is not well.

Every wickedness will never go unpunished. The perpetrators of this very wicked act may think they have a reason to do that, but what they should remember is that those that will kill them tomorrow will also have their reason. No peace for the wicked.

Armed robbers, ritualists, kidnappers are using the chaos to perpetrate their activities in the open. Pray for the East.

May his soul rest in peace.

I hope what many of you are witnessing in the SE would touch your heart and make you realise you cannot buy into a hate programme.

It inevitably comes back to haunt you and yours.

No longer DSS?
Who do you think that IPOB should employ for it's terror wing? Those prisoners they released, they will work for IPOB.

No one is taking advantage of IPOB. IPOB is a terrorist group.
Beheading is among their manifesto.
See Nnamdi Kanu telling his followers that he will go to Abuja and bring the head of Buhari and his supporters hailing him.

The energy of this thread has changed since it happened in the east. People have started giving advice while some are already seeing the future.
Meanwhile, just yesterday a soldier and his driver were killed in ondo state by gunmen.

Everywhere just quiet
