Pastor slumps and dies on the altar
A Catholic Priest slumped and ‘died’ on the altar during a Sunday mass in Deido, Cameroon.
Rev. Fr. Jude, the Spiritual Director of Catholic Men Association (CMA) in Deido, was preaching during the Sunday service.
He was seen wearing a face mask, he however, paused for a moment and appeared to be struggling to breathe.
He later slumped on the altar and other priests were seen rushing to his aid as he fell.
Former Chairman of National Human Rights Commission and lawyer, Chidi Odinkalu shared the video on Twitter on Sunday August 30 and wrote, “Rev. Fr Jude., CMA, Spiritual Director of CMA Deido, in Cameroon’s commercial capital, Douala, was preaching the Homily at Mass earlier today when this happened #RIP.’
