Italian Catholic priest, Father Adolf Poll has received plaudits from far and wide while leaving Kenya with only two bags, 53 years after he was posted to the East African country.
The celebrated priest is famously known as Father Alleluia Omogoka -a nickname he earned while serving at the Catholic Diocese of Kisii.
On Tuesday, May 25, the humble father flew back to Italy after spending almost his entire life on missionary work in Kenya.
Catholic Justice and Peace Commission, Malindi wished him well in a statement released before his departure. The commission stated that Fr Adolf, 80, packed all his personal belongings acquired during his more than five decades of Priestly Ministry in Kenya, fitting in just two small bags, and started his journey back home in Italy for retirement.
