Father Raymond Njoku, an assistant priest at a parish in Ogbaku in Nigeria’s Imo State, was shot as he drove back to his parish residence.
“His vehicle was riddled with bullets, but by God’s grace, none hit any vital organ,” an official of the Archdiocese of Owerri told the Lagos-based Vanguard. “His right hand was injured. He feigned death, and the gunmen fled.”
