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.
