The priests include the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Anthony Dieme, his curate, Rev. Fr. Christian Obioha and a resident priest, Rev. Fr. Innocent Obiukwu.

Vanguard gathered that Fr. Obiukwu is taking refuge in the parish after surviving onslaught from the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East.

Narrating their ordeals, Fr. Dieme said that they lost valuables, including mobile phones, laptops, wrist watches and some cash. He said the five-man gang gained entry into the chancery at 3a.m., tied them up and demanded for N5 million.
