The Catholic Diocese of Awka, Anambra, has assured that it would unravel the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault of a female teacher by a Rev. Fr. in one of its schools.

Rev. Fr. Charles Ndubuisi, Chancellor, Catholic Diocese of Awka, made this known in a statement on Tuesday issued in Awka.

“The suspect, Rev. Fr. Jude Muokwe, is a Manager at Angel Primary School, Ifitedunu, a mission school in the Dunukofia Local Government Area of the state.

“He allegedly brutalised Mrs Ikeorah Maureen, a 50-year-old widow who works as a teacher in the school,” Ndubuisi said.

The victim was brutalised on February 12, over alleged insubordination; by inviting other teachers to a meeting to demand an increase in their salaries.

“The Diocese regrets this unfortunate incident which took place on Wednesday, February 12.

“The Catholic Diocese of Awka upholds the integrity of character and respect of all and cannot condone any type of misconduct in any of our schools.

“We promise to investigate the circumstances of the incident and the extent of violation of the ethical standards established by the Diocese for all Diocesan schools and apply immediate disciplinary actions,” he said.

Sources at the school who pleaded anonymity told newsmen that Muokwe allegedly inflicted injuries on the widow after flogging her with a cane and also slapping her.

NAN reports that the victim and some other members of the staff of the school had a meeting in one of the classrooms where they discussed salary increases.

They were planning to make a report to the school management on the need to upwardly review their salary when Muokwe allegedly barged into the venue and started flogging the victim.

The cleric was also alleged to have accused her of being the convener of the meeting.

She said: “One particular night, we were visited in our house by hired killers, and they specifically stated right from when they entered the gate that they ‘are here to execute him’—by him, my father.

“They were like, ‘Where’s he? Where’s he?’ But he was looking at them the entire time and they couldn’t see him.”

She said the assailants ransacked the house for hours in search of Bishop Oyedepo but left without finding him.

Jesus Christ hated poverty, never visited the poor – Pastor Ibiyeomie

The founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has claimed that Jesus Christ was at parallel with poverty.

Pastor Ibiyeomie said Jesus Christ never associated with the poor while he was on earth because he disliked poverty.

He disclosed this while speaking with his congregation.

Pastor Ibiyeomie asserted that the death of Jesus Christ and resurrection were not only to bring salvation but also to free believers from poverty.

He argued that remaining in poverty after coming to Christ reflects a lack of spiritual understanding.

Ibiyeomie said, “Jesus never visited any poor person in his house, check your bible. That means he hates poverty. He visited Lazarus, they were not poor, they were giving him food.

“He visited a sinner, Zacchaeus, who was rich. Tell me one poor man Jesus entered his house. He hates poverty, that’s the meaning.

“He hates people who are poor. He died for you not to be poor. How can you now come to church with some kind of mentality?

“You can come poor but you’re not permitted to remain poor. There’s nothing wrong with you coming to Christ as a poor man, but it’s wrong for you to remain poor. It is wrong.”
