There’s been an outrage as a Catholic Priest allegedly flogged a 50-year-old teacher because she raised questions about deduction of lesson fees at the school he oversees.
Reverend Fr. Jude Muokwe, a priest of Roman Catholic Church, Awka Diocese, is alleged to have assaulted Mrs Ikeorah Maureen in her classroom during school hours.
The victim is a widow from Umuanugwo village, Ifitedunu. She’s a Primary 6 teacher at Angel’s Primary School, Ifitedunu.
The incident happened on 12th February 2025.
According to some sources, the teacher had raised questions after the priest allegedly reneged on a contract agreement he made with the teachers over the pupils’ lesson fees.
This allegedly caused the priest to flog her.
Speaking after the incident, the teacher, a grandmother, is seen crying while narrating what transpired.
