The Catholic Diocese of Awka has vowed to investigate the alleged assault of a female teacher, Mrs. Ikeorah Maureen, by Rev. Fr. Jude Muokwe, the Manager of Angel Primary School, Ifitedunu.
Eko Hot Blog gathered that according to a statement released by the Diocese’s Chancellor, Rev. Fr. Charles Ndubuisi, the church regrets the incident, which reportedly took place on February 12.
The Diocese assured the public that it upholds ethical standards in its schools and will take appropriate disciplinary action if necessary.

The Diocese emphasized that it does not tolerate misconduct and promised to investigate the extent of the violation. The outcome of the probe will determine what disciplinary measures will be taken against the accused cleric.
