Four days after escaping from kidnappers, a Catholic priest dies at a hospital in Delta State following complaints about his health.
Five months after relocating from the United Kingdom to Nigeria, a Catholic priest Very Rev. Fr. Dr Louis Odudu has been reported dead.
His death came four days after escaping from kidnappers in Delta State. The cause of his passing remains a mystery according to reports.
Members of the Catholic Diocese of Warri are reportedly devastated about the loss. Odudu had complained of pain which prompted a visit to a hospital. But unfortunately he died there.
“He was just assigned to the chaplaincy at PTI about two months before his kidnap and untimely death.
“It was a black Wednesday for the Diocese of Warri as Very Rev. Fr. Louis Odudu died on the day the diocese was holding a prayer vigil for one of the deceased priests, Very Rev. Fr. Stephen Ekakabor, who died early this month after battling with a brain injury he sustained when he was attacked by armed robbers.
"The robbers invaded the priest’s rectory in 2017 at his parish of St. Joseph, Okpare-Olomu, in the Ughelli South Local Government Area," says a source who spoke to Punch News.
