Gunmen have killed the Catechist of All Saints Anglican Church, Chinaza Odumejeogu.

The incident which happened at Onicha-Ebia, Ikem, Isi-Uzo Local Government Area of Enugu State, has sent cold down the nerves of the inhabitants of the community as they now live in fear.

It was gathered that the slain Anglican catechist was killed while he was in the farm with his son on Monday morning. While his son escaped with a gunshot wound on his leg, the Catechist died on the spot.

The son of the Catechist is receiving treatment in a private hospital.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Kanayo Uzuegbu, has issued an immediate quit order to remnants of kidnappers, hoodlums and other criminal elements in the state, saying they either leave town or face the wrath of the law enforcement agencies.

CP Uzuegbu stated that there would be no relenting in the effort to totally flush them out of the state.

He stated this when he led a team of battle tested police operatives to Adani in Uzo-Uwani LGA where two brothers, Mr. Ogbonna Fidelis Anene, aged 33, and Ogbonna John Onyeka, aged 25, were gruesomely murdered on their way going from the farm on Sunday.
