Rev. Fr. Charles Ndubuisi, Chancellor, Catholic Diocese of Awka, made this known in a statement on Tuesday issued in Awka.

The Catholic Diocese of Awka, Anambra has vowed to act after a female teacher was reportedly flogged by a Rev. Father in one of its schools.

The assurance was given by Rev. Fr. Charles Ndubuisi, Chancellor, Catholic Diocese of Awka in a statement on Tuesday issued in Awka.

“The suspect, Rev. Fr. Jude Muokwe, is a Manager at Angel Primary School, Ifitedunu, a mission school in the Dunukofia Local Government Area of the state.

“He allegedly brutalised Mrs Ikeorah Maureen, a 50-year-old widow who works as a teacher in the school,” Ndubuisi said.

The victim was brutalised on February 12, over alleged insubordination; by inviting other teachers to a meeting to demand an increase in their salaries.

“The Diocese regrets this unfortunate incident which took place on Wednesday, February 12.

“The Catholic Diocese of Awka upholds the integrity of character and respect of all and cannot condone any type of misconduct in any of our schools.

“We promise to investigate the circumstances of the incident and the extent of violation of the ethical standards established by the Diocese for all Diocesan schools and apply immediate disciplinary actions,” he said.

Sources at the school who pleaded anonymity told newsmen that Muokwe allegedly inflicted injuries on the widow after flogging her with a cane and also slapping her.

NAN reports that the victim and some other members of the staff of the school had a meeting in one of the classrooms where they discussed salary increases.

They were planning to make a report to the school management on the need to upwardly review their salary when Muokwe allegedly barged into the venue and started flogging the victim.

The cleric was also alleged to have accused her of being the convener of the meeting.
