It was gathered that the following morning, the priest and his household could not come out to conduct morning service as usual.
According to information, at a point, some of the parishioners became apprehensive and broke into the official residence of the Archdeacon, only to find him dead with his household.
A source attributed the death of the Archdeacon and others to food poisoning.
The children of the Archdeacon whose wife was said to be a staff of Aba South Local Government Council, according to the source would have been among the dead if they had not gone back to school.
A parishioner who spoke with Daily Sun on the condition of anonymity said before the Archdeacon nor any member of his family complained of ill health before they retired to bed.
