Rt. Rev Anthony Ovayero Ewherido, the Bishop of Warri Catholic Diocese, has suspended one his priests identified as Rev Fr Daniel Okanatotor Oghenerukevwe for entering into marriage.

The Bishop said that Oghenerukevwe is now prohibited from presenting himself as a priest of the diocese of Warri in any capacity.

“On November 30, 2024, Rev Fr Daniel Okanatotor Oghenerukevwe, who has been out of active ministry and without any official assignment in the United States of America, ed me with a request to be released from all canonical obligations and responsibilities associated with Holy Orders within the Roman Catholic Church.

“The Diocese of Warri reached out to Fr. Oghenerukevwe, requesting the submission of documents required to initiate the process. However, on December 29, 2024, Fr. Oghenerukevwe entered into marriage with Ms. Dora Chichah at the Streams of Joy Church in Dallas, USA. Footage of this marriage has been widely circulated on social media.


“By this action, Rev. Fr. Daniel Okanatotor Oghenerukevwe has incurred a Latae Sententiae suspension in accordance with the provisions of Canon 1394 §1, and I, Most Rev. Anthony Ovayero Ewherido, Bishop of Warri, do hereby officially decree that he is suspended from the exercise of sacred ministry.

Can. 1333). He retains the right to petition for the revocation or amendment of this decree in accordance with Canon 1734 §1 whenever he demonstrates a willingness to reform.

“May God grant him the grace to reflect on this situation and guide him on the path of reconciliation,” the statement said.

I really feel for them to be honest, Catholic priests are trying as most of them are practicing self induced form of celibacy. Serving priests should be for only born celibates. May God see him through

Catholic Priests are the most coded runs men ever.
Nah dem dey pick and choose whoever codedly in their parish/diocese.
Omerta is their norm.
"The cardinal sins" was a best seller, for a reason.
The one in my alma mater in those days was sharing girl friend with my room mate in the hostel "muna Reverend n'a ta ojim."

My room mate was WAILING upandan in our room that
fateful day.
Some room mates tell the guy say na achievement,
make him chill, nothing mega.

That day in the hostel room our ribs dey pain us no be small.
That guy could have been a great comedian.

But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, those who get married at this time will have troubles, and I am trying to spare you those problems.

Yes, he deserves the suspension. If you want to remain a priest, you must adhere to the laws that guide the position.
