The Roman Catholic church and the Diocese of Buea who described his death as a great loss, has organised a service at the Sacred Heart parish, Bomaka, which starts at 5pm.

Images of the murdered priest on Friday, July 20, 2018, circulated over social media, which shocked many. Earlier, reports indicated that he was caught in the middle of a gun exchange, between the military and armed separatists.

Church authorities later revealed at his burial in August 2018, that the Man of God was short at close range by the military, an act that was widely condemned by church authorities and the international community.

The Attack on Father Sob followed a series of killings allegedly carried out by military and suspected separatists, on priests in the North West and South West regions, hit by the ongoing Anglophone crisis.

Till date, the circumstances that led to the death of the America missionary, Charles Trumann, murdered in October 2018, is yet to be unraveled. Both military and separatists have accused each other, for carrying out the gruesome killing.

The Catholic church recently buried a Mill Hill missionary, Reverend Cosmas Omboto Ondari, from Kenya. He was serving at the Parochial Vicar of the St Martin of Tours Pariah in Kembong, in Manyu Division of the South West region, where he was shot dead by the military in November 2018.

A Ghanaian Missionary, Apostle Isaac Attoh of the Destiny Impact Ministry was reportedly shot dead by military, on Saturday, July 14, 2018, in Batibo, North West region.

The ongoing unrest in the Anglophone regions has recorded over 1860 civilian deaths, a figure that has attracted mediators from the Western world, who want to see the crisis end through a political dialogue.
