A Catholic Priest has been accused of flogging a 50-year-old teacher at the school he oversees over a disagreement.
Reverend Fr. Jude Muokwe, a priest of Roman Catholic Church, Awka Diocese, allegedly whipped Mrs Ikeorah Maureen severely in her classroom during school hours.
Ikeorah, a widow from Umuanugwo village, Ifitedunu is a Primary 6 teacher at Angel’s Primary School, Ifitedunu.
On 12th February 2025, Ikeorah raised questions after the priest allegedly reneged on a contract agreement he made with the teachers over the pupils’ lesson fees.
The priest reportedly did not like the teacher’s effrontery and resorted to flogging her.
In a video that has now gone viral, the woman can be heard speaking in Igbo, while narrating what happened.
Ikeorah 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.”
