Priests in the Catholic Diocese
of Enugu hit the streets on Friday to protest the alleged continued attacks
targeted them.
The priests matched through major
streets in their hundreds, carrying placards with inscriptions urging the state
government to urgently address the “rising insecurity” in Enugu.
They were at the state government
house as well as the state police command headquarters where they dropped
letters stating their grievances.
In an interview with TheCable,
Benjamin Achi, communications director of the diocese, accused herdsmen of
being behind the attacks including that of Thursday in which one of the priests
was killed.
“The rate of insecurity has gone
out of hand and the government should rise to the occasion,”he said.
“The fulani herdsmen have been
killing people repeatedly. The incident
yesterday makes it third priest attacked in recent months.”
