The incident happened during the New Year Mass held on January 1, 2025, at St. Columbus Catholic Church in Amaimo, Ikeduru Local Government Area of the state.

🤨

Alright

Na only igb0s fit do this one?

Normal normal life cheap pure water for their own eyes.

If a priest could do this, imagine what the u believers would do.

Only God knows where they see illegal firearms.

I just hope the priest is not an armed robber or kidnapper disguising as a priest

Holy Sh*t.

COMRADES, so Nigerian priests too know how to shot gun? As a catholic, I am not aware of this at all

O ga o

Sad .
If he knew it would turn out this way, he for let them shoot up the church with banger so long as nobody gets hurt.

But Devil get im own plan.
If not , why would a sane person throw knockouts into the church?

Sigh... What exactly is a priest doing with a gun?!!

Even in war-ravaged and cartel-controlled nations, you won't see priests or padres armed, not even the ones who served in the military.


Couldn't he have sent youths in the church service to go and disperse the boys?!!


This life ehn... Never make decisions in haste or anger.

Hmmmn it is well

I mean, what can I say?

Rev.Fr carrying arms when pope said thou shall not kill.
