Owerri- A Catholic Priest, Reverend Father, Emmanuel Ehioma, popularly known as Fada mento, on Saturday apologized to a family, Osueke of Amaohuru Nguru in Aboh Mbaise council area of Imo state, over a comment he (Fada mento) said he made about the Osueke family.

Fada mento, in a statement to newsmen in Owerri, tagged it public apology regarding the comment he made on the social media concerning the said family.

It was gathered that the clergy’s viral comment was linked to Osueke, which claimed that Chinwe (deceased) of Osueke family was allegedly abandoned by her family before her death. However, it was later found out it was not the true situation.

To this extent, the Catholic priest said his decision to apologize was a healing process adding that it was a mistake and he regretted calling out the family.

According to the Catholic Priest, “Yes, it has happened and healing is necessary am I crying? Yes I am. 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 come 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. Thank you so much Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Ehioma (Fada Mentor),” he said.
