TRAGIC: Gunmen Kill Anglican Priest In Imo

An Anglican Priest of the Church of Nigeria, Reverend Emeka Merenu, has been murdered by yet to be identified gunmen in his parsonage at Iheteukwa , Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State.

According to sources: On Tuesday morning, the Nkwerre born clergy was killed this over unfounded allegation that he brought in soldiers to secure the Church and School under his supervision.

The source said the assailants burnt his car after killing him. “Everybody is sad at the moment and afraid for their lives.” he said.

The source explained, “Not only that he is from Nkwerre, he was the second runner up to the current Principal when they were looking for the current principal of St Augustine’s Grammar School, Nkwerre Imo State (SAGS).

He hails from Amorji Agbomori Village in Nkwerre.

All efforts to reach the police spokesperson in the state, Micheal Abattam for confirmation proved abortive as he did not take or return call.
