The late Sr. Veronica was shot while on medical duty on the 16th of June 2015. She died shortly in Nairobi, Kenya while receiving treatment.

Bishop Lodu asked President Salva Kiir’s Government why it has remained silent over the murder amidst earlier reports of arrests and ongoing investigation.

The late Sr. Veronica was until her untimely death the Medical Director of St Bakhita Health Center of the Catholic Diocese of Yei. She belonged to Missionary Sisters of the Holy Spirit (SSPS).
