    Tension has gripped Nnewi and Adazi communities in Anambra State following the mysterious disappearance of the Emeritus Archbishop of the Niger Province and Bishop of Nnewi, Most Rev. Prof. Godwin Okpala.

    The 75-year-old cleric, a native of Adazi Ani in Anaocha Local Government Area, was last seen on Friday morning heading to Umuchu in Aguata Local Government Area to attend a burial ceremony for a fellow bishop.

    Despite efforts by the church to establish contact, Okpala’s whereabouts, along with his driver and vehicle, remain unknown.
