By Sunny A. David
Most Rev. Paulinus Ezeokafor, Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese has praises Anambra State Government for using its security apparatus to track two Awka Diocesan priests kidnapped last year in Ondo State.
The Prelate noted that Governor Obiano used the State’s security apparatus to track down, the kidnapped priests.
The Bishop decried incessant and barbaric killings of innocent Nigerian’s especially Christians.
Bishop Ezeokafor made the commendation at Ukpo, Dunukofia Local Government Area during burial of mother of Bishop Okigwe Diocese, Imo State, Most Rev. Solomon Amatu, Mrs Rebecca Amatu.
He thanked Govermor Willie Obiano for his giant strides in the area of security, urging him to sustain the tempo.
The Bishop, however, also expressed shock at gruesome murder of Lawan Andimi, Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, Michika LGA Adamawa State by terrorists.
Bishop Ezeokafor said any government that did not value the sacredness of life was a failure.
The Prelate stressed that government at the centre should provide the enabling environment for security of life and property.
According to him, Government at the centre must encourage local policing to secure lives of the people, who elected them into office.
“Any government that cannot do the needful to secure life and property of its citizens should surrender; use whatever God endowed you with to work toward eternal life.’’
