Obol and is a Roman Catholic priest. Dr. Nyeko completed his training for the Catholic priesthood in his home country and was ordained a priest on August 18, 2001.
After his ordination, he was immediately assigned to serve as an associate pastor at Pajule parish, located in the archdiocese of Gulu. Of the three years he served in the parish before he came to the United States, only his first five months as a newly ordained priest proved to be peaceful. The rest were marked by war and violence when the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) returned from their bases in South Sudan to Uganda to wage war and Pajule parish suddenly became the epicenter of the conflict.view less
