From Nigeria-
All is not well with the Christ Church
Cathedral [Anglican Communion], Akwete, Ukwa Diocese, Abia State. The
diocese is enmeshed in crisis as members are at loggerheads with the
bishop, Rt. Rev. Samuel Kelechi Eze.
In fact, the members have banned Eze from
conducting church services and presiding over the affairs of the
church. They are also pushing for him to vacate the Bishop’s House, his
official residence.
Bone of contention
Among other allegations, the bishop is accused of being a
polygamist; diocese members say he has two wives who live with him in
the Bishop’s Court. Other allegations against Eze include
maladministration of the diocese as well as not taking proper care of
the priests working under him.
The attention of the Primate of the Anglican Church in Nigeria,
Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, has been drawn to the crisis. Indeed, the
situation has got to the head when the Laity of Ukwa Diocese organized a
protest against the bishop.
