It was gathered that some of the parishioners who attended the following morning service became apprehensive when the priest did not come out to conduct service and no other member of the family was around to explain why he wasn’t available.

Some members of the church were said to have gone to his apartment but meet the door locked, while no one responded to their calls.

A source said, “Worried by the situation, the church members summoned the courage to break into their apartment, only to meet the priest, the wife and their maid lying on the floor.

“The lifeless bodies were moved to a private hospital where they were confirmed dead.”

Another source in the church said nobody know the cause of their death, adding that they were suspecting food poisoning as there was nothing that suggested that they inhaled generator fumes.

The source added that their children were not with them as they had gone back to their various boarding schools.
