R.I.P! Catholic Priest Accidentally Shoots Self Dead

 

Rev. Father Peter Ayala handling St. Thomas Moore Catholic Church, Sobe, in Owan West Local council area of Edo State was found dead in his apartment, Sunday morning before mass.

The deceased who was expected to conduct the morning mass at 7a.m was reportedly cleaning his double - barreled gun inside his apartment within the church premises, when a gun shot went off, leaving him dead in the process.

The Nation gathered that the incident took place in the early hours of Sunday before the priest dressed up for the mass, while worshippers were gathering for the worship service.
The development threw the church into confusion as both mass servers and church elders made frantic efforts to rescue the priest who was lying prostrate in his apartment.
