FARWELL — A former priest accused of sexual abuse of a minor was found not guilty by a Parmer County jury on Wednesday.

The trial of Peter Mukekhe Wafula began last week in Farwell.

Wafula, 40, served in Hereford, Friona and Bovina before he was removed from the ministry in 2018.

He was indicted by a Parmer County grand jury in October 2018.
