IS Soldiers Kill Priest In France


Two armed men have killed a priest and adopted four other persons when they stormed a church in a suburb of Rouen in northern France.

Officials say the attackers, who claimed to be members of the Islamic State (IS) slit 84-year-old Father Jacques Hamel’s throat during a morning Mass.

BBC says Police surrounded the church and shot dead both abductors while one of the captives is in a critical condition in the hospital.

Visiting the scene, President Francois Hollande vowed that France would fight IS by all means.

He said that the attackers had committed a “cowardly assassination”.


Pope Francis criticised the “pain and horror of this absurd violence” while UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, described the attack as “sickening” and offered her sympathies to the people of France.

In a statement, released ‎by his spokesperson,  Maximus Ugwuoke , the controversial  Enugu -based Catholic Priest, attributed the bad economy to the previous administration. According to him, things might have been better, if  Goodluck had listened to his prophecies, and ran a resourceful government. " When these prophesies come, it must not be what people think or want; people are entitled to their views; those reactions mean nothing; the important thing is that there is nothing he had prophesized which never came to pass; the ministry does not care how people feel about his prophesies. Some call him controversial priest; some call him fiery priest and all that, they are entitled to their opinion. The fact remains that he is a true prophet. I will tell you something, it is for...

The statement reads in part: “The truth which history will bear out is that the PDP in its 16 years of rule successfully completed numerous projects that substantively changed the infrastructural landscape of Nigeria.” “Every one of those 16 years were years of great productivity with remarkable landmark achievements.

President Buhari commissioned the railway proje...
