LETTER ATTACHED!!! Catholic Church Takes Action As Delta Priest Secretly Weds Lover In United States—-The Catholic Diocese of Warri, Delta State, has suspended Rev. Fr. Daniel Okanatotor Oghenerukevwe, from priestly duties following a secret wedding with his lover in the United States of America.

Thecloudngr reports that the latest development was contained in a statement titled ‘Decree of Suspension,’ jointly signed by the Bishop of Warri, Rt. Rev. Anthony Ovayero Ewherido and the Chancellor/Notary, Rev. Fr. Clement Abobo, and made available to journalists in Warri on Sunday, January 19, 2025.

The statement disclosed that Oghenerukevwe entered into marriage with Dora Chichah on December 29, 2024, at the Streams of Joy Church in Dallas, USA, and footage of the wedding, which circulated online, prompted his suspension.

The Diocese revealed that on November 30, 2024, Fr. Oghenerukevwe requested to be released from all canonical obligations associated with Holy Orders.
However, the Diocese said it reached out to him, asking for the required documents to begin the process, but the priest secretly married without completing the procedure.

The Diocese further stated that Oghenerukevwe retains the right to petition for the revocation or amendment of the decree but must demonstrate a willingness to reform.

The statement read partly, “By this action, Rev. Fr. Daniel Okanatotor Oghenerukevwe has incurred a Latae Sententiae suspension in accordance with the provisions of Canon 1394 S1, and I, Most Rev. Anthony Ovayero Ewherido, Bishop of Warri, do hereby officially decree that he is suspended from the exercise of sacred ministry.

“As such, he is prohibited from presenting himself as a priest of the Catholic Diocese of Warri in any capacity. All canonical implications associated with this suspension take immediate effect (cf. Can. 1333).

“May God grant him the grace to reflect on this situation and guide him on the path of reconciliation.”

JUST IN: Bandits Raid Mosque in Sokoto Community, Leaving Imam and One Person Dead, Several Others Kidnapped

Bandits Storm Kogi ECWA Church

JUST IN: Bandits Raid Mosque in Sokoto Community, Leaving Imam and One Person Dead, Several Others Kidnapped—-Several worshippers were also abducted during the strike, with the exact number yet to be verified.

Bandits in the early hours of Saturday launched a deadly attack on worshippers observing the Subh prayer in Kiba Ruwa, a community in the Sabon-Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State.

According to local sources who spoke with Egbe Mekun Parrots, the assailants stormed the mosque at dawn, opening fire on the congregants.

Two people including the imam who was leading the prayer were confirmed dead.

Several worshippers were also abducted during the assault, with the exact number yet to be verified.

Security agencies have reportedly been alerted, while residents remain in a state of fear as search and rescue efforts begin.

In neighbouring Kebbi State, bandits weeks ago attacked the Government Girls’ Comprehensive Senior Secondary School, Maga, in the Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area, where 26 schoolgirls were abducted.

All soldiers previously stationed at the school had been summoned to Abuja for interrogation as part of efforts to determine why the security post was vacated shortly before the attack.

Previously, SaharaReporters reported that Nasir Idris, the governor of Kebbi, expressed alarm over what he described as the “withdrawal of military personnel” from the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School, Maga, shortly before bandits stormed the facility and abducted several students.

The governor said the situation was particularly disturbing because the state had earlier received intelligence warning of a possible attack and had immediately convened a security meeting to address the threat.

“As a responsive government, when we received intelligence on a possible attack, we summoned a security meeting,” NAN quoted the governor as saying.

“The security agencies assured us that all was well and that personnel would be mobilised to the school.

“The military was deployed, but they later withdrew by 3am, and by 3:45am, the incident happened.”

Idris also said the state had demanded a thorough inquiry into the circumstances that led to the withdrawal of troops.

“Who authorised the military to withdraw?” How did security personnel pull out at such a critical time? That is our concern. We have asked the military to investigate and identify who gave that order,” the governor said.

The Maga District Head, Muhammad Dantani, also raised serious concerns over the role of the Nigerian military in the recent attack on Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Kebbi State, where armed bandits killed a staff member and abducted 25 students.
