As you know, Primate, one of the significant things Most Revd. Okoh did before he went into retirement was to appoint the respected Archbishop of Enugu Province and Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Revd. Emmanuel Chukwuma, to head a Panel of Bishops to make on-the-spot inquiry to ascertain the true position of things in Sapele Diocese. As your records will show, the Panel met on three (3) separate occasions with members of the Rescue Sapele Diocese Group at the Cathedral Church of St. Peters Asaba; the Ibru Ecumenical Centre, Agbarho-Otor; the Cathedral Church of St. Luke Sapele and a few other Rescue Sapele Diocese Group churches. During that visit, a most damning testimony was presented against Bishop Erifeta by one of his former drivers. The driver gave graphic details of what he saw as immoral practices perpetrated by Bishop Erifeta and had the courage of his conviction to send a hard copy of this testimony to Archbishop Chukwuma and members of his Panel. For reasons which we cannot understand, the Report and recommendations of the Chukwuma Panel have remained shrouded in secrecy since the year 2018. Despite several pleas from us to you and your predecessor that the Panel’s Report should be released in the interest of the bodyof Christ, our pleas have gone unheeded. Is the proverbial “Nigerian Factor” at play here? Why this seeming cover-up?
