Former Aviation minister, Femi
Fani-Kayode, on Friday condemned the murder of Rev Fr Paul Offu, a Catholic
priest, by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Enugu.
Offu hailed from Okpatu in Udi
LGA of Enugu State and was until his death, the parish priest of St. James the
Greater Parish, Ugbawka
A terse statement Fani-Kayode in reaction to the incident said the insecurity situation
was getting out of hand.
“It provides yet another example
of the barbaric nature and homicidal disposition of those that perpetuated the
act”, Fani-Kayode said.
“I wonder how Catholic priests
who appear to consistently defend the atrocities of the Fulani terrorists like
Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah and Father Ihejike Mbaka feel about this latest act
of barbarity and wickedness?
“Those who target women, children
and clerics for slaughter are nothing but cold-blooded killers, ravenous beasts
and wholesals cowards who are too timid and scared to take on real men in open
battle.”
The killing of the priest was
announced on the Facebook page of the Diocese.
The post read: “With a deep sense
of sorrow, the Catholic Diocese of Enugu announces the tragic death of REV FR
PAUL OFFU who was shot dead this evening (1st August 2019) by some hoodlums
suspected to be the notorious and murderous Fulani herdsmen, along Ihe-Agbudu
Road in Awgu LGA”.
