The Parish Priest of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Ewu-Owa Gberigbe in Ikorodu, Rev. Fr. James Anelu who banned Igbo songs and choruses in his parish has been suspended indefinitely by the Bishop, reports www.totorinews.com.
The Priest who angrily stopped a soul lifting chorus during the second collection said the Igbos cannot keep dominating other people even in his Church.
He sighted the case of his Benin Diocese where Igbos dominate to the point of becoming the Bishop in person of Akubueze.
Rev. Fr. James Anelu said that the spirit of God in any place recognises only languages indigenous to that geographical location. On saying this, the entire congregation went up in tumultuous uproar, leading to abrupt dismissal as people massively walked out of the Mass.
The Archbishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins on Monday asked the priest to proceed on leave of absence with effect from Tuesday, February 8, 2022.
