A seminarian of the Nsukka Catholic Diocese, Hillary Tobechukwu Eze, is dead.
It was learnt that Eze died barely one week before his ordination as a deacon, leaving the church, family and friends in great shock and grief.
Eze, who was meant to undergo the last step on December 23, 2023, before becoming a priest, died on Friday in a motor accident while on his way to the ordination retreat.
The deceased, an indigene of Ehalumona town in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, reportedly had an accident and died on the spot.
A few days leading to his death, Eze shared a Facebook post saying he did not understand the place he was heading to, yet he was rushing to the place.
Amid doubt or questions about where he was heading, Eze reassured himself that Jesus was leading the way.
He wrote, “I sincerely do not understand where I am heading to but I am rushing to that place. Why?
“Jesus is the one leading the way.
Another of his post read: “Dabere Chineke (God).
“Lord, I put my trust in you.”
