SHOCKER! Abuja Catholic Priest ARRESTED After 10 People Died In His Church [Full Details Inside]
A heartbreaking incident in Abuja has left the community in disbelief. On Saturday, a stampede broke out during a grocery distribution at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, leading to the deaths of at least 10 people, with many others injured. Tragically, a large number of the victims were children. The crowd had gathered in the church’ s car park to receive food and aid, but what was meant to be a charitable event turned into a disaster.
In the aftermath of this heartbreaking tragedy, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command arrested the parish priest and several church officials, citing negligence in organizing the event. Police are now investigating the stampede and two other similar incidents in Anambra and Oyo states, which also resulted in fatalities. The arrest was first confirmed by a fellow Catholic priest before the police officially acknowledged the action.
The arrest has sparked outrage within the Catholic community, with the Archbishop of Abuja, Ignatius Kaigama, condemning the move. In his Christmas message, Kaigama expressed concern over the lack of empathy shown by the authorities, stating that the arrests were counterproductive and did not help those affected by the tragedy. He emphasized that the focus should be on helping the church and the organizers recover from the trauma, rather than threatening legal action.
