A Catholic priest of Minna Diocese, Nigeria, identified as Reverend Father James Omeh, has reportedly passed away in a tragic accident over the weekend.
According to the X (formerly Twitter), Ugochukwu Ugokwe, who shared the sad news on the platform, the Reverend Father passed away in a bridge collapse while heading for mass on Sunday, 25th May, 2025.
Ugochukwu revealed that the priest who didn't want to deprive his parishioners the opportunity to attend Mass as it was raining on that fateful day, set out under the unfriendly weather to celebrate mass.
Unfortunately, as he drove over the bridge, it caved in, and his vehicle fell into the river, resulting to his demise.
The post reads;
"I just read the devastating news of REV. FR. JAMES OMEH, a priest of Minna Diocese Nigeria. It was raining yesterday and since it was a Sunday, he didn’t want the rain to deprive his parishioners the opportunity to attend Mass.
So, he set out for Mass under the rain and on the way, the bridge he was crossing on caved in and his vehicle fell into the river. Sadly, the priest didn’t survive it”.
“He died in active service to God and humanity. May his soul find rest in the Lord🙏🏿”.
