Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have killed a Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Mathew Eya, in Eha-Ndiagu community, Eha-Alumonah in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The incident reportedly occurred on Friday evening while the priest, who was the parish priest of St. Charles Catholic Church, was returning from Enugu, the state capital.
According to witnesses, the attackers, who were riding on a motorcycle, intercepted the priest’s vehicle near the site of an ongoing Type C hospital project in the state.
The assassins reportedly shot at the tyres, forcing the car to stop, before firing multiple shots at the cleric at close range.
One source said that the killing appeared to be an assassination rather than a kidnap attempt, according to Daily Post.
