A Catholic priest is facing backlash after being accused of flogging a 50-year-old teacher at a school under his supervision.
Reverend Fr. Jude Muokwe of the Roman Catholic Church, Awka Diocese, allegedly assaulted Mrs. Ikeorah Maureen in her classroom during school hours.
Mrs. Ikeorah, a widow from Umuanugwo village, Ifitedunu, works as a Primary 6 teacher at Angel’s Primary School, Ifitedunu. The incident reportedly occurred on February 12, 2025.
Sources claim the teacher had questioned the priest after he allegedly failed to honor a contract agreement regarding the pupils’ lesson fees, which reportedly led to the assault.
Speaking after the incident, the teacher, a grandmother, is seen crying while narrating what transpired.
She said: “He came and started fl0gging me and sl@pping me. He claimed I called the teachers for a meeting. I did not call any meeting.
“See my face, see my back, see my legs.”
