A Catholic priest, Reverend Father Emmanuel Ehioma, popularly known as Fada Mento, has apologised to Osueke family of Amaohuru Nguru in Aboh Mbaise local government area of Imo State, over a comment he made about the family.
Fada Mento, in a statement to newsmen in Owerri, tagged it, public apology regarding the comment he made in respect of the dead, on social media concerning the said family.
According to him, his decision to apologise was a healing process, adding that it was a mistake and he regretted calling out the family.
It was gathered that the cleric’s viral online post was linked to Osueke, which claimed that Chinwe (deceased) of Osueke family was allegedly abandoned before her death.
According to the Catholic priest, “Yes, it has happened and healing is necessary, I am crying. But I know what it means to own up to your mistakes and I am doing one now. I have had so much deep thoughts on this and the best way to keep the memories of the dead bright.
“Yes, I was heartbroken and pained for what has happened to a friend, but I think I went too far. Expressing regrets and sorrow was one thing but calling out an entire family was to an extreme.
“So, this is me saying, I am very sorry to the Osueke Family of Amaohuru Nguru for the call out. It wasn’t very necessary for the repair of whatever that happened in the past.
“So, whatever means necessary that should be taken by the family to make sure the pains of yesterday never came around again, please follow it. I regret all of it. Yes, it is very necessary for me to go clear my head. May Chinwe continue to rest in Christ Jesus Amen.”
