Nigeria: Senior Catholic priest murdered by Boko Haram

Fr Vitus Borogo

Spiritan Fr Emmanuel Anyanwu writes on Facebook:

It is with a heavy heart, but with total submission to the will of God that we announce the death of Rev Fr Vitus Borogo, which sad event took place today, at his mini Farm, Kujama, along Kaduna-Kachia Road by members of the Boko Haram extremists bandits.
Until his death, Fr Vitus, aged 50, was the Chaplain of the Catholic Community of the Kaduna State Polytechnic, and the Chairman of the Nigerian Catholic Diocesan Priests Association (NCDPA), Kaduna Chapter.

Details of his Funeral arrangement will be announced as soon possible. Meanwhile we commit his soul to the maternal intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and call on all men and women of goodwill to continue to pray for the peaceful repose of his soul and for the consolation of his bereaved family, especially his aged mother.

(Fr Emmanuel says he cries as almost all his friends and brother priests have been kidnapped and murdered.)
