Father Martin Addai, a member of the Missionaries of Africa and a citizen of Ghana, was killed by unknown assailants last Saturday in Nairobi, Kenya.

According to Vatican Radio, the 46 year-old priest was rector of his congregation’s seminary in the Kenyan capital and professor of medical ethics at Tangaza College, which is part of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa.

In statements to the MISNA news agency, the vice superior general of the Missionaries of Africa, Father Richard Baawobr, explained that Father Addai was walking down Mombasa Road in the southern section of Nairobi when he was gunned down.  His body was left abandoned in the street.
