Bloody Sunday: Survivor Narrates How Parish Priest Disrobed, Hid At The Alter by TheHerald: 9:58am On Aug 07, 2017
One of the survivors of the bloody attack carried out by gunmen yesterday at the St. Philips Catholic Church, Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra has narrated how the Parish Priest saved himself from being killed.

Recall that the gunmen had reportedly stormed the Anambra church early on Sunday morning and had killed several of the members and others left wounded.

Mr. Ohamadike Stephen, a survivor of Ozubulu Church attack while narrating his experience revealed that the Parish priest disrobed himself and hid at the alter.

While narrating what happened to Daily Sun correspondent, the survivor said: “We were in the church and I was to handle the second reading. As the first reading was still on, I heard a sound like a thunder. I dived under a long form in the church auditorium and from there raised up my head a bit and saw a young man with a fez cap shooting and people ran in all directions for safety in confusion.

“I remained where I was and that was around 5:45am. The Parish Priest removed his cassock and hid at the altar while the gunmen continued in the shooting spree.”

“When they had left, I helped in evacuating the wounded and casualties to the NAUTH, Nnewi.”

The state governor, Willie Obiamo had responded to the distress call in person as he visited injured survivors at the hospital and offered to take care of their medical bills.
