Three Worshippers Killed As Gunmen Attack Catholic Church In Ebonyi On Christmas by Salewa97: 9:36pm On Dec 25, 2023 |
No fewer than three worshippers were reportedly killed by some gunmen on Christmas Eve after the assailants attacked on a Catholic Church in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State. It was learnt that the killing occurred at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, Nkweagu, in Abakaliki local government Area of Ebonyi State at 11:30pm on Sunday, December 24. According to The Nation, the Bishop of Abakaliki Diocese, Most Rev. Peter Nworie who confirmed the attack, described the incident as sad and disheartening, while he prayed for the repose of their souls. He explained that the suspected killers invaded the church while a priest was celebrating a vigil mass service and killed and injured many others. He added that such an unfortunate act had never happened in the church in the state. “This is the first time such an incident has happened in the church and in Ebonyi State in general,” he said.

The cowards would attack people when they are most vulnerable, then go and hide. Theese Igbos live within the community. As long as the community continue to harbour and hide them, the violence will continue. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Ipob/esn using Igbos for killing practice to instil fair in people. Why were kanu, Ekpa and all irrational/wicked born in Igbo land to bring discomfort and terror to peaceful hardworking igbos? Why terminating lifes of innocent ones that came to church to worship their God just because ekpa Ipob/esn wants to prove superiority and enforcement? They will all stand before God to receive their dreadful judgement one day. If you are doing good or bad, you can continue; you will account for your deeds one day at judgement day for everlasting purnishment or everlasting enjoyment. RIP to the deads! 2 Likes 1 Share |

opamoses1: Reading between the lines, in all probability you’re part of this sick and murderous attack! I knew within me that wicked Igbo-hating hegemonic scum will want to heighten the spate of insecurity in the south-east this festive period! They’ve been building up to this mass murder for days now with the threads you open on a ‘sit-at-home’ that IPOB have reiterated countless number of times has been called off…and which even Mazi Kanu himself recently spoke against! The speed with which you used to rush to comment and try to pin the blame on IPOB is a big red flag! ANY true Igbo (not impostor/5th-columnists like you) knows there are certain lines we don’t cross, and IPOB that have NEVER gone out to attack their fellow kinsfolk wouldn’t start now! This trying to paint IPOB as being responsible for your false-flag attacks started with Buhari and it seems it’s continuing under Tinubu as well! These are the two fools whose responsibility it is to protect the lives and properties of ALL Nigerians! And we haven’t even gone into the recent outrage that occurred in Plateau a few days ago! You fool no one! 1 Like 1 Share |

LOVEALAIGBO: The people who are all rushing in to blame Ipob knows they are lying. They are trying hard to divert attention from their criminal gangs operating in the east. Look at the posters one after the other, same people supporting HAMAS and against anything good in Nigeria, closet terrorists. 1 Like 1 Share |

vanbonattel: It stands to reason! Ebonyi borders the northern region and has a high population of northerners….most of whom have lived peacefully for years in the state it has to be said! But bloodthirsty savages (even illegal immigrants from all over the sahel) can find it easy to hide amongst them…or even come into the state, carry out senseless mass murder, and escape afterwards! |

Goodnewsforlife: Your police should tell us, they like hiding the real killers since they are from the region of the police commissioners. Have you wondered why they post other tribes top police bosses to Igboland, its because of the need to hide the perpetrators of some crimes. This one we are talking about, you all will blame ipob and walk away, then return again when it happens in benue and wail. 1 Like 1 Share |

U..g.m. Igbos hate to be told the truth. They prefer keeping it within themselves in their hearts, while they openly blame Nigeria security and Fulani to cover shame .When u talk, they use this phrase " don't cry more than bereaved" .
