The slain Parish Priest of St. James Greater Parish Ugbawka, Rev. Fr Paul Offu, of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu killed by unidentified Gunmen has been buried.

Offu 49 hailed from Okpatu in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu.

In his homily at the burial mass held at the Holy Ghost Cathedral, Enugu, Rev. Fr Slyvester Nwodo said that Paul would be most remembered as a man of peace.

He further urged government to ensure adequate security of lives and properties of Nigerians.

“Fr Paul was a man of peace, and this made the people give him the title “Eze Udo” (Man of Peace); he was a great evangelizer who delivered joy in winning souls for Christ,” he said.

He urged Christians to continue to uphold the family especially the aged mother in prayers.
