A Catholic priest, Reverend Father Clement Ugwu, who was kidnapped from his Parish, St Mark Catholic Church, Obinofia Ndiuno in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State, by unknown gunmen have been found
His decomposing body was found in a bush on Wednesday morning, a week after the kidnap.
Catholic Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev . Callistus Onaga, speaking after the late priest had been buried called on the police to fish out the killers of the priest.
In his words;
“All is not well in Enugu State . We should not continue to pretend about it while our people are killed every day . Enugu State is not secure again. Criminals have shifted to Enugu State from Anambra. When Father Ugwu was kidnapped , we reported it to the police and since then I have visited police station three times yet they kept telling me we are closing on the kidnappers . I doubt they were doing anything because where the deceased body of Fr . Ugwu was found is not up to 20 km from his house. ”
