Anambra State is currently gripped with tension following the disappearance of Most Rev. Prof. Godwin Okpala, the retired Archbishop of the Niger Province and Bishop of Nnewi.
The Archbishop was last seen on Friday when he embarked on a journey to Umuchu with his driver. Unfortunately, they have not been heard from since, and their vehicle is also missing.
The Bishop of Nnewi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Ndubuisi Obi, has issued a heartfelt plea for prayers, urging the faithful to intercede for the safe return of the Archbishop and his driver. He emphasized the distressing nature of the situation and called for divine intervention.
Authorities have been notified, and investigations are underway, though no official confirmation of abduction has been made. This incident adds to the growing concerns over the security situation in Anambra State, which has seen a rise in criminal activities recently.
The community is hopeful and united in prayer, trusting that the Archbishop and his driver will be found safe and sound.
