It appears we are truly
approaching the much
talked about end time. As
you read this, a Catholic
priest in Imo State is
being investigated by the
police after reports that he
was illegally in
possession of weapons.
The Reverend Father is
said to be in charge of a
parish in the Dikenafai
environs of the Ideato
South LGA of the state.
He is said to have
threatened members of
his parish and
endangered their lives
with three unlicensed
guns believed to be in his
possession, without
approval.
As a result of the
Reverend Father's action,
many are now afraid of
going to the church.
Crime Guard reliably
gathered that the guns
which include one pump
action riffle, one double-
barrelled gun and a
locally-made pistol
allegedly belonging to the
priest were recovered
from his official residence
by operatives of Special
Armed Robbery Squad,
SARS, Imo State Police
Command acting on a tip
off from some concerned
parishioners.
Described as a very
controversial priest, the
reverend father was
arrested and detained
briefly but granted bail by
the police following the
intervention of some
influential religious and
political leaders in the
state.
Police sources said that
the controversy
surrounding the Catholic
priest stemmed from a
tragedy that occurred in
January 2010, after the
death of a prominent
indigene of the area.
Meanwhile, investigation
into the case is ongoing
by the police to ascertain
the source of the guns
and possibly the actual
purposes they are being
used for.
The Rev Father may be
charged to court after full
police investigation had
been concluded.
