A Catholic priest, Rev. Fr. Joseph Enyinnaya, has been arrested in Imo State for allegedly shooting
a teenage boy d3ad after he threw knockouts inside the church.

The incident happened during the New Year Mass held on January 1, 2025, at St. Columbus Catholic Church in Amaimo, Ikeduru Local Government Area of the state.

A resident claimed that the priest, in a bid to disperse a group of boys setting off knockouts within the church, fired some shots in the air.

“The gun hooked up and while trying to check the firearm, it accidentally discharged and hit one of the boys," the resident claimed.

The incident has left the community in shock and mourning, with residents expressing outrage and demanding a thorough investigation to uncover the facts behind the unfortunate event.

The spokesperson for the Imo State Police Command, Henry Okoye, confirmed the incident to LIB, adding that an investigation is ongoing.

“We have launched a detailed investigation to ascertain the remote facts surrounding the incident. Further development on the case will be communicated in due course, please,” the PPRO stated.

We are talking about Imo State here. Father needs to protect himself from known gunmen called "unknown gunmen"

Na only igb0s fit do this one?

Normal normal life cheap pass pure water for their own eyes.

If a priest could do this, imagine what the u believers would do.

Only God knows where they see illegal firearms.

I just hope the priest is not an armed robber or kidnapper disguising as a priest

Sad .
If he knew it would turn out this way, he for let them shoot up the church with banger so long as nobody gets hurt.

But Devil get im own plan.
If not , why would a sane person throw knockouts into the church?

Sigh... What exactly is a priest doing with a gun?!!

Even in war-ravaged and cartel-controlled nations, you won't see priests or padres armed, not even the ones who served in the military.


Couldn't he have sent youths in the church service to go and disperse the boys?!!


This life ehn... Never make decisions in haste or anger.
