Hoodlums invade church in Anambra, machete clerics, other
DAILY POST gathered that the church teacher, Mr. Christopher Chukwu had come out in the dead of the night to ease himself when he saw strange flashlights in the church premises and proceeded towards the direction.“His cry for help attracted the resident priest, Rev. Akachukwu Ikedilo and the gardener, Mr. Mathew Nwude, who suffered the same fate in a bid to rescue the catechist from the marauders,” the source said.
“When I came down to ascertain what happened, the criminals had fled and left the church teacher and the gardener in a pool of their blood,” the priest said. He said, “I immediately alerted the police and local vigilantes, who stormed the church premises just in time but unfortunately the miscreants, had escaped through Umueri, a neighbouring community.
Fears in the community, however, is that the hoodlums didn’t come to steal from the church, fuelling the belief that they may have been attacked by a neighbouring community with whom Aguleri has had a history of war.
