Tragic Loss: Capuchin Friars Involved in Fatal Accident
It is with deep sorrow that we report the death of two priests and five seminarians of the Capuchin Franciscan Friars, Custody of Nigeria, in a fatal road accident that occurred yesterday in Obudu, Cross River State.
The accident claimed the lives of seven members of the religious community, including two priests, four theology students, and one post-novice. Six others sustained various degrees of injuries.
The deceased have been identified as:
- Fra. Somadina Ibe-Ojuludu
- Fra. Chinedu Nwachukwu
- Fra. Marcel Ezenwafor
- Fra. Gerald Nwogueze
- Fra. Kingsley Nwosu
- Fra. Wilfred Aleke
- Fra. Chukwudi Obueze
May their souls rest in peace, and may God grant their families and the entire Capuchin community comfort and strength at this time.
Please remember them in your prayers.
