I cannot imagine how our religious men and women have let us down with their ways of life. Last week it was the talk about some pastors who owned properties worth billions of Naira and how some of them spend money meant for church development on their personal aggrandizement. 

This will not be the first time that we will hear or see scandalous acts by men who ought to be example for our youth but it came as shock when a monk- supposedly a more righteous religious person, a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, people who say they don’t get married.

The priest; Rev Fr. Chigbata who is the Superior (like an Archbishop) of the Capuchins in Nigeria was caught naked with his lover, Madam Durest. The priest who served in Lagos as the superior in their Lagos house met the said lover in Sacred Heart Catholic church, Creek Road, Apapa where he used to say mass and serve. We hear they have been seen together several times at public places and many of the parishioners have complained to his order but nothing was done.

One of the parishioners who we spoke to said Madam Duerest talks about their un-holy relationship to anybody who cares to listen, bragging that she can make him do anything she wants as he cannot live without her. She is reported to have even boasted that she can make him punish any of the other priests as he is the superior.

When we got this picture we were reluctant to post it but after confirming from a number of parishioners of Sacred Heart we felt it was proper we let the world know. Something has to be done by the government and Nigerians to punish such an act of misleading people.

All attempt at contacting Madam Duerest and the priest failed.
