Killing Of Catholic Priest ‘Barbaric, Unwarranted’ — Buhari

Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has described the despicable death of Rev. Fr. Paul Offu, the Parish Priest of St. James Greater Parish Catholic Church, Ugbawka, Enugu State, as ‘barbaric and unwarranted’, assuring Catholic Church and Nigerians of more security.

Disclosing this in a statement, Garba Shehu, the senior special assistant on media and publicity to Mr. President said that Buhari was saddened with the incident and had ordered law enforcement agencies to fish out perpetrators and bring them to justice.

He expressed deep shock and dismay over the killing of the priest and ordered a thorough manhunt for the killers and their immediate prosecution.

His words, “The entire nation is shaken by the horrible assassination of this priest. The administration will continue to guarantee the freedom of religion and protect places of worship as well as the lives of citizens wherever they live,” he added.

Directing law enforcement agencies to act swiftly in their investigations and bring the perpetrators of the “horrific crime’’ to book, the President called on all religious leaders to pray for peace, healing and security of the country.
