CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF ABA Office of the Bishop 25th November, 2024 To the Clergy, Religious and Faithful in Aba, 

A TRAGIC CHRIST THE KING FEAST AND PROCESSION

 It is with deep regret and sadness that the annual joy ful celebration of our Diocesan Feast Day which occurs every 34th Sunday of the Church year, ended yesterday 23 November. 2024, in a most tragic way. Some of our devout and gallant Catholics, who trooped out as usual to join the annual Eucharistic Procession in a joy ful mood, met their death as a result of overcrowding during the procession. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace, Amen. Investigations are still ongoing to ascertain the true narrative, identity of victims, and cause of this awful episode. We condole with the deceased families, and sympathize with those injured, who are still convalescing in the hospital. We carnestly pray for their quick recovery. However, we pledge to support the affected families and individuals in this time of emergency and tragic event. Moreover, we wish to affirm that such an incident will not happen again, We shall do everything possible in the future to forestall such a tragedy: the first of its kind in the annals of Christ the King Procession in Aba. I, therefore, appeal to our dynamic and gallant Catholics not to be discouraged and dampened in spirit. I reaffirm, while assuring you. that it will not happen again. In this assurance, I entrust you all to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Mother of Christ the King and Comfort of the AfMlicted.
