Catholic Churches in Enugu State have come under attacks from vandals who are destroying statues in and around premises of the worship for purportedly worshiping idols.
Churches affected are; Seat of Wisdom Parish, Abakpa Nike; St. Leo Catholic Church, Federal Housing Estate; and St. Mary Catholic Church, Trans-Ekulu.
The Director of Communication in the diocese, Rev. Father Joseph Offor, noted that the Vicar General of the diocese, Monsighnor Luke Adike complained sometime in October that unknown people invaded Seat of Wisdom Parish, Abakpa Nike, around 1:00am, destroying statues of the Sacred Heart, the Virgin Mary and every other thing in the altar.
“On November 4 and November 11, similar incidents happened at St. Leo and St Mary; they destroyed the statues and the altar while also leaving a similar message as the previous,” he said.
The Public Relations Officer of the Enugu state police command, Ebere Amaraizu, has begun probe into the matter.
