Two priests have been sacked by the Arochukwu/Ohafia Diocese of the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) in Abia State for allegedly indulging in homosegxwality, DailyPost has reported.
 
A letter entitled: “Notice of dismissal from ministry”, dated April 29, 2019, and signed by Bishop of the Diocese, Rt. Rev. Johnson Onuoha, circulated to all archbishops and bishops of the church said an investigation by the diocese after it got wind of the allegation, confirmed that the two men were neck-deep in the act.
 
The memorandum which was also copied to the Metropolitan and Primate of All Nigeria and Bishop of Abuja, the Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, warned any persons dealing with the expelled clerics to be mindful as such could dent the image of the church.
 
The letter reads in parts: “We wish to inform you that the following clergy have been dismissed from the diocese of Arochukwu/Ohafia. They are Rev. Chukwuemeka Duru and Rev. Solomon Chukwuzubelu Okonkwo.



“The report got to us that they were indulged in the act of homosegxwality. We investigated and found them guilty of such accusation. We were left with no option than to withdraw their letters of order (licences and certificates of ordination) and dismissed them from the ministry.

“Therefore, anyone dealing with these persons should tread with care as such can drag the image of the church to the mud.”
 
According to the report, a secretarial staff of the Cathedral of All Saints Ugwuavo, Arochukwu speaking on phone with DailyPost said:

“Yes. We heard such thing, investigated and confirmed it. So, we showed them the way out. It’s not actually supposed to come from me, but the bishop. What you heard is true; there’s something like that,”.

Actually you are right,but what you dont know is that I am the least tribalistic person that you will ever hear from. I am not exactly what i appear to be here,but I do what i do,highlighting the ills of other tribes just for the purpose of making it clear that no tribe has the monopoly of good or bad. Igbos have been trash talked about for so long now,and when a lie lasts the test of time,it becomes the truth to some people. I am for unity through and through,so please make sure that your advise also gets to those that hear about a drug issue and shout that it must be Igbos........

If only we can always unite like this and focus on the topic of any news and call a spade a spade, remove tribalism and sentiment in our comments, I believe this forum would have been a lovely place to be, and a place we can learn more.. positively
