*PFN condemns Reverend Father’s killing, tasks govt, security agencies to protect NigeriansThe Catholic Archbishop of the Abuja Metropolitan Archdiocese, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama has attributed the orgy of violence meted out on innocent citizens in the country, particularly the incessant attacks and killing of clergymen to religious fanaticism and ethnic bigotry.
Speaking on the forthcoming general election, Kaigama said there was need for communal prayers to solicit for God’s mercy to the nation. “Our prayer intention is the unity among Christians in line with the prayer of Jesus in John 17:21, “that they may all be one”. On Tuesday, the prayer session would take place at ECWA Wuse 2, Blantyre Crescent, while another session would hold at Christ Holy Int’l Area 1 .
The PFN in a statement by its National President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, expressed great sorrow over the killing of the Catholic Priest.
