Last week, more than 200 priests of the Catholic diocese of Enugu, Enugu state, South East Nigeria, marched through the major streets in the city, holding placards and protesting at the murder of one of their colleagues, Fr Paul Offu.
After walking more than 5km around the city, the priests proceeded to the office of Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, governor of Enugu State where Fr Offu was killed, and the police headquarters, to ask them to find ways to end the killings and prosecute the suspects.
On August 1, Fr Offu, a resident priest of St James Greater Catholic church in the diocese, was killed by gunmen suspected to be armed herdsmen from the Fulani ethnic group while returning to his parish after visiting his friend who is also a priest.
