A Reverend Father with a Catholic diocese in Anambra State (names withheld), who was allegedly burnt by a cooking gas fire in a lover’s house at Allen Avenue, Awka, has been,reportedly, flown abroad for treatment.

A source said the priest was flown abroad to cover traces.

Our source, who pleaded anonymity, said the lover died in the inferno while the Reverend Father sustained high degree of burnt.

“Your inquiry isn’t exactly false. His (Reverend Father’s) relative is a friend and he did not say anything different from your proposed report,” the source said.

It was gathered that the priest was relaxing in a one-room apartment of the alleged girlfriend (who was identified as a student of a university in the state) on the fateful day when the incident occurred.

“The girl died on the spot, but the priest was hurriedly smuggled away and we now hear that they have flown him abroad, apparently to cover traces. Are there no hospitals in Nigeria?
“I have told them to stop covering this story.

What do they want to achieve by hiding this story? The truth should be said and shame the devil,” the source maintained.

But another source, who would not want to be named, said, “The priest was involved in the gas fire accident trying to save a life. All these side talks are not unnecessary.”

When Abuchi, Onwumelu, the Press Secretary to the Bishop of the Diocese, Most Reverend Paulinus Ezeokafor, was contacted on the telephone for reaction, he said he had heard about the gas fire incident involving a Reverend Father, but had no full facts of the story.

Onwumelu, who said he was in a function when our reporter called him, promised to get back to our correspondent, but he never did by the time of filing the report.

Similarly, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ali Okechukwu, said the matter had not been reported to his office.

He promised to reach the Divisional Police Officer of ‘B’ Division, where the incident allegedly occurred and get back to our correspondent, but he never did.

Pic of the Rev Father allegedly burnt in lover’s house

What was a reverend father doing in a woman's house?... Casting out demons I guess...

Bunch of hypocrites posing as men of God. I wish him quick recovery though.

Liars!!!

When has men of God restricted from house to house visiting.
It seems like Jesus leg which was kissed by the most expensive LovePeddler in the world at the time was done in the football pitch.

Why is it that people are so cheap in subscribing in favour of damaging anointed men of God image.

For the fact he paid a visit to one of the members of his church has now turned into love affair saga abi?

We should not be so quick in damaging people image with a misleading title.

Nawa o, wish him speedy recovery.

Blasphemous and slanderous report about divinely ordained man of God

Rv Father ?

Lets see his face and have his name !!!!!!!!!!!!

They think taking the oath of celebacy during their Priestley ordination is mere word of mouth. It's a spiritual agreement between them and God. As for the lady of all the men the world you chose a man of God. Anyways what can I say RIP to the dead get well soon to the injured.

Trash give us evidence. Nonsense just to rubbish the Catholic Priesthood. Get a life please.

Buhari sef!!!

Chai!!!

There is God oooooooooooooooo

it is well oooo....

I have nothing to say

ok

The verity of this news still hangs in the air..

But rev fathers do engage in immoral acts oh.

That is left for the judge to ascertain

uhmmm..na wa oo

Choi! Why do people, especially Nigerians, make themselves prey to the devil Why would a tabloid as big as PUNCH carry such stories that has no foundation?? Not all priests are as we expect them to be, but if you carry a story as delicate as this, give PROOFS!! So cos a priest visits a lady for whatever reason, and there's an incident, then someone comes out of the blues to say they're lovers, means PUNCH, without making their findings, should just come out and report it as such.

I'm totally disappointed!!

END TIME REVEREND FATHER...FAKE PEOPLE EVERYWERE

must u be a Reverend in the Catholic Church wen u can not control ur sexual cravings?
why not join the Anglican church which allows marriage for their priests.
this will further plunge the already dented image of Catholic priests.if u can't withstand the heat in the kitchen then seek the next available exit.

reverend father and lover?? meanwhile.

Lwkmd o rubbish
