In the last one month, vandals have invaded three Catholic Churches in Enugu State, with just one motive; the destruction of the statues in the churches.
In the three incidents, the vandals left a message, asking the church to “stop worshiping idols.”
In its reaction to these acts, the Catholic Diocese of Enugu, on Tuesday, condemned the destructions.
The Director of Communication in the diocese, Joseph Offor, in Enugu on Tuesday, listed the three churches that had been attacked in the past one month as: Seat of Wisdom Parish, Abakpa Nike; St. Leo Catholic Church, Federal Housing Estate; and St. Mary Catholic Church, Trans-Ekulu.
Mr. Offor, a Reverend Father, described the attacks as ‘unfortunate,’ wondering the motive of the people carrying out the nefarious act.
“Sometime ago, in October, the Vicar General of the diocese, Monsignor Luke Adike complained that unknown people invaded the church, Seat of Wisdom Parish, Abakpa Nike, around 1 a.m.
“In the morning, he went into the church, and he saw that all the statues, both that of the Sacred Heart, that of the Virgin Mary and every other thing in the altar has been smashed, destroyed by these hoodlums,” he said.
