@Olaolufred
You are nothing but a confused mad man. You think that Catholic preists are like those spiritual high priests in your area.

I think your comment confirms you and your Priest can do worse than I have ealier said.

A mad man communicates and reasons better than you.

The Implication is that you are worse than Mad, but also Insane and completely out of touch with humanity.

I repeat, either way the Priest is Part of the conspiracy. If not part of the gang, then he's an accomplice or an aid.

From what i can see, the only offence this man commited was that the kidnappers had their check point close to his church and that they sourced their water from the bore hole in his church. Does that make him a kidnapper? What about the church members who had to pass through those check points to attend church services, aren't they kidnappers? We all know how dangerous these guys are, even in the village were they operate, the villagers cannot speak because, no one can deliver them from the kidnappers wrath. Once you are suspected to be an informant, you are gone.
You may say that but don't forget about the innocent victims here. The little kids whose lives are being threatened and their hardworking parents and relatives who are being extorted. Then of course by sharing in the kidnappers ransom money by gifts or even business patronage some have turned themselves into accomplices.
In essence the priest should still have reported the kinappers to the authorities[b] regardless of the consequences[/b] That is the right and proper thing to do.

That priest travelled long before the kidnap thing started and only returned for the burial of Late Bishop Chikwe. While at the burial at Mbaise, he, alongside other priests, gave some gun salutes. He came back and left the gun and the remaining ammunition in his jeep, a Toyota Sequia. The next morning, the SSS came, searched his car and arrested him. He has been released and is coming back today.

^^So you want to say  that he has an alibi. Is he based in England by the way for you to conjecture that he was away throughout the kidnapping spree.

Alibi entails he's a link with the kidnappers. Secondly, I'm not conjecturing a thing, ok? I know the man in question.

i dont care if he just came back from london or if he s threathned, or scared. he s a preist for God's sake. how can he be aware of such horrible crimes going on behind his church and keep mute. he even supplies them with water. he should be charged with aiding and abetting, or something like that. there is no excuse for such nonchalance. the catholic church is very powerful esp in igbolands, if he couldnt go thru d police he should have sought aid from the church. i refuse 2 beleive there was nothing he could have done, its not as if they are a group of school boys playing cult. its kidnappers for god's sakes. they kill people, they wreck the lives of families. right now in abia state, they are peoples worst nightmare. he had absolutely no reason 2 keep silent. even if he was killed for speaking out, doesnt the church teach about matarrys. i mean how does he sleep at night, how does he even stand ih church and preach 2 the same people beem terrorised?

How much is Rev Fr. Bona Alowarandu's income? How does he afford expensive cars and travels to London at will as suggested by Mr. Slap1?

Many questions.

You didn't get his surname right and you're making a mistake as well. I never said he travels to London AT WILL. And if you think the expensive cars he has links him to the kidnappers, you're mistaken again. He had those cars for at least three years before being posted to Obingwa.
Re: Kidnapping: Soldiers Arrest Reverend Father by Nobody: 12:46pm On Oct 20, 2010
^^Yet how did he come across the cars and exactly what type of business is he doing in London that would entail him to spend a lot of time there.

Are we talking about his connection with the kidnappers or are we talking about HIM?
Re: Kidnapping: Soldiers Arrest Reverend Father by Nobody: 4:40pm On Oct 20, 2010

Clearly this thread is about his purported connection with the nefarious kidnappers. But  from the revelations here, he does seem to be a very controversial personality
with a chequered past.
Certainly he is a character worth investigating.

Re: Kidnapping: Soldiers Arrest Reverend Father by Nobody: 5:46pm On Oct 20, 2010
^^Can you explain how he come about those cars and how he fell out of favour with the higher-ups in the diocese which led to him being transferred from his previous parish
slap1:

I wish I can give y'all a clearer picture of the TRUE STORY behind this , but I can't. When this priest was transfered to that church, the youths of his previous parish carried placards in protest. Why? He was being transfered because he stopped the parish council from having access to the church money. He gives the church band and hall free of charge to any parishioner that wants to wed, he charges no money for baptism, he virtually blocked every avenue through which the church 'fathers' steal church money. His transfer to that village was a pure act of vendetta. Tell me where priests in a rural area like Obingwa drives three SUVs and a V-boot Mercedes? And he came to that church with those cars. But I will say it again, let the law run it's course!

Re: Kidnapping: Soldiers Arrest Reverend Father by isimili: 10:57pm On Oct 24, 2010
Priests or no priest if he is involved let him go down for it. it will be a good warning that no one is above the law and it is no longer safe to hide under white garments. If on the other hand he is not guilty, then he should be relased.
Re: Kidnapping: Soldiers Arrest Reverend Father by Utch13: 8:35am On May 17, 2012
otokx: The priest should never compromise to evil; he should have simply sought his transfer out of Abia state.
Re: Kidnapping: Soldiers Arrest Reverend Father by Utch13: 8:43am On May 17, 2012
Compromise what evil? And if he transfers d case, d first thing they will ask him when d matte r blows is why didint u report to d law authorirties in ur state, dis is nigeria nd people re always looking for whom to blame

So because he is a priest he is not entitled to good cars nd overseas travels? What abt our pastors dt have private jets nd limousines dt ferry them round d world?what will happen when a catholic priest begins to ride a jet or do u think they dnt have pple who support them? Besides d matter discussed here is kidnapping not d priest's personal life so pls talk logic!
