Reverend Fr. Jude Muokwe, a Priest of the Roman Catholic Church, Awka Diocese, has allegedly beaten up one Mrs Ikeorah Maureen in her classroom during school hours.
The victim, a 50-year-old widow from Umuanugwo village, Ifitedunu, is a Primary 6 teacher at Angel’s Primary School, Ifitedunu, where the Priest is a Manager.
The incident allegedly occurred on 12th February, 2025, in the presence of the pupils and the staff of the school, after the Priest reneged on a contract agreement he made with the School’s Teachers over the pupils’ lesson fees.
Mrs Ikeorah was said to have spoken out against Rev. Muokwe’s failure to keep to their agreement over the lesson fees, and the Priest descended on her mercilessly, beating her with a cane and leaving various scars on her body.
The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with netizens demanding justice for Mrs. Ikeorah and condemning the priest’s alleged actions.
