Most Rev. Alfred Adewale Martins, the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, has called on all Nigerians to allow the power of Christ’s resurrection to dispel the dark moments of our lives in order to heal the wounds that are threatening the unity of our country today.
There is need to heed to the appeal that St. Paul makes in his Letter to Timothy to pray for those in leadership, applying this to Nigeria where those at the helm of the government have not met citizens’ expectations, a Catholic Archbishop in the West African nation has said.
The Archbishop of Nigeria’s Lagos Archdiocese has lauded Catholic lawyers in the country for their interventions in various matters of the West African nation, and urged them to arm themselves more with the social teachings of the Church as they seek to address challenges facing the country.
In the statement signed by Archbishop Alfred Adewale Martins, Rev Fr Anelu was asked to proceed on an indefinite leave of absence to pave way for an investigation, “of all the matters relating to his ministry in the parish.”
