Anambra: Catholic Priest Allegedly Flogs Widow For Asking For Salary Increment by NaijaCover(op): 1:11am On Feb 17, 2025
A priest of the Catholic Diocese of Awka, Anambra State, whose name was given as Rev. Fr Jude Muokwe, has allegedly beaten up a 50-Year-Old Widow, Mrs Ikeorah Maureen.

The priest was said to have used a whip on the widow, flogging her mercilessly and inflicting multiple injuries on her in the process.

A Video of the widow, which is already trending on social media, showed the primary school teacher crying like a baby, and displaying bodily injuries inflicted on her by the priest.

The widow is said to be from Ifitedunu community in Dunukofia LGA and also a teacher in Angel Primary School, Ifitedunu, a school said to be owned and managed by the Catholic mission.

Though the real cause of the incident has not been ascertained, DAILY POST gathered that the widow and some other staff of the school were meeting in one of the classrooms in the school over salary increment, which they planned to pass to the management, when the priest came into the classroom and flogged her mercilessly, to the amazement of everyone.

When DAILY POST reached out to the priest, Rev Fr Jude Muokwe, to ascertain what truly happened, the priest did not deny the allegation. He simply said he would not like to comment on the matter.

“I cannot speak to you, I can’t speak especially to someone I do not know about this matter,” the priest said in a sober tone.

If this story is true then he is wrong.
I pray and hope help comes her way
He can talk to her in polite manner why he can't increase her salary at the moment. But if she insists, he will have to replace her.

People are passing through a lot sha.

The worst thing to happen to any creature is to be a woman in Igboland.

If the Governor is not hunting ladies without bra, the religious leaders are flogging widows and jn-laws are shaving the heads of widows.

Honestly it's annoying.
They had to qualify the woman with the title "Widow" to garner public sympathy. 🤔🤔.

This State sef!
There is no passing week that the State doesn't make news headlines for the wrong reason. I would have suggested that the Elders in the State should meet and discuss, but I just realised that such things doesn't exist in Igbo land, everybody here is independent and behaving as they liked, which is wrong for a society.
A Priest flogging a woman and a teacher in his employ is a criminal offence. The government should step in, get the Priest arrested and prosecuted so as to serve as deterrent to others who would see it as a norm if nothing is done.

I used to think the yorubas give too much of respect to their pastors until I was posted to enugu for Nysc. I was shocked to see their Rev. father flogged ss3 students on the assembly irrespective of whether you were part of the issue or not. It was not a small flogging but a serious one. I was was so pissed that day that I went back home right from the assembly. In the evening some of the boys came to our lodge and I asked them why would a Pastor come to school to flog students they told me that's how they do there. I told them if any pastor tries that in ibadan he won't sleep in his house that day.

OK ,


that is what some of their people know how to do best ,


ones they see that you don't have someone or people to defend you ,

or
out of the f0.0.lishness they feel that they can do you anything to you and go free with it,


you will see them lying against their victim or victims



and calling him or her names ,



we won't be surprise if the so called priest comes out tomorrow to lie against the woman for what she did not do .


we learnt from what they thought that they could do to our role model Princess Faith Chukwu, but they keep failing ,



let the police arrest the priest ,

evil people can hide under any religion ,
to do their evil ,

.be it Christian or Muslim or tradition ,




say no to crime.


Princess Faith Chukwu

A land full of billionaires... yet they kill themselves for food.

Note this. Anyone still living in SE is poor, hungry and hopeless.

The well-to-do run off to SW. Ask Peter Obi who fled to Lagos after 8 years of governance or Obiano who ran away to Texas on the first night bus cheesy

Re: Anambra: Catholic Priest Allegedly Flogs Widow For Asking For Salary Increment by Sucre6:
Some reverend fathers see themselves as demi-gods, especially those in the East, I was told of one over-pampered and worshiped reverend father that was asking people to knell down and he would flog them once you come to the church late, my father was telling me about this and I thought it was just a joke until I traveled to the village and we went to service together, it was 4am and my dad was already panicking and waking everyone up to bath and get ready as the service states by 6am

We all got ready before 5:30 since the church wasn't far from our house, but unfortunately my car battery was very low and we had to remove the battery and jump start it with another car before it moved, we got to the church by 6:25 and the Reverend father had locked the church entrance and people were knelling down and waiting for him to come and flog them and to allow them enter, I was parked and came down, strolled to the church entrance and I was flabbergasted with what I saw, people fathers and mothers with white hair knelling down, I was provoked, and I also saw youths there and none could say anything, I waited patiently until he came out with long koboko, I tell my dad that if this man flogs any one here I was going to punch him, my dad knew I don't bluff and he started begging me, my mum was urging me on to please punch him.😂😂😂😂


He came out and started flogging people 4 lashes before you are allowed to enter, I walked straight to him and started making videos, I told him that I was going to post the video and report his conduct, he ordered the mass servants to collect my phone from me, me way they secretly look for a way to fight since, I been dey gym everyday I didn't know I was preparing for this battle all my life 😂😂😂😂.


They came with force and I punched the guy straight on his nose and he fell down straight, the second one rushed me, and I picked him up and dropped him on the ground like a bag of rubbish, he stood up and ran away, to my surprise everyone was cheering me on instead of try to stop the fight, including my mom 😂😂😂😂😂.

The next thing I heard on my back was tawai, I looked back and it was the revered father, he had flogged me with his koboko, omo, I just held him his hands, collected the koboko, and started flogging the werey like mad, I made sure I started from this head, before police came in to separate the fight, him head don get plenty gallops of injury 😂😂😂😂, the most annoying thing is that he's just a young priest, not more than 28 years old, I dealt with the idiot to my satisfaction, jump inside the car with my family and drove home, my mum was just healing me as we drove home after making statement at the police 😂😂😂

That was it, my parent later told me after I had done back to Abuja that the our community igwe reported him to the convent and they never went back to the church the next Sunday, the removed him and suspended him, and brought another Reverend come and see jubilation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Which full story gives him the right to flog a woman and much more a widow. The only reason you have taken the position of full story is because it is one so called Rev Father … if the title was Pastor you would have been foaming from both sides of your mouth


He should count himself lucky the woman doesn’t have grown children or family members who don’t give a rats hit about cassock and head butt one of his eyes

You must be Igbo.
You are the only ones who justify ill treatment of people.
Your men do it to your women and Igbo women do it to children.

The woman must have committed something bad that the priest wouldn't like to disclose to the press to save her face but Mr Blogger is seriously looking for money.
