The incident, according the chancellor of the diocese, Rev. Fr. Raphael Ezeogu, happened between 7pm and 8pm on the Onitsha -Owerri Expressway in Ihiala, Ihiala local government area of the state.

Fr. Tobias’s killing took place three days after a member of the state House of Assembly, Hon Justice Azuka, representing Onitsha North constituency, was kidnapped on Christmas Eve at about 9.20pm somewhere in Ugwunakpamkpa area of Inland Town Onitsha, while going home for Christmas.

A 75-year-old retired Anglian Archbishop of Nnewi Anglican Diocese, Most Rev. Godwin Okpala, is also missing.

Public relations officer of the state police command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said Hon. Azuka’s vehicle was found at the popular Upper Iweka area of Onitsha by a team of the state police command’s operatives.
