Comedian, Bovi calls out Catholic Priest for knocking altar boy and also boy

Bovi Ugboma has expressed outrage over the way abuse is normalised in Nigeria. 

The comedian shared the video of the moment a priest knocked a Mass server on the head for not holding a microphone properly during a wedding ceremony. 
 

Reacting to the video, Bovi slammed the priest, who has now apologised in a recorded meeting with the boy’s family. 

Bovi also criticised the priest’s “half-hearted apology” and the reaction of the boy’s family who took sides with the priest. read here 

The comedian wrote on Instagram: “I’ve been trying to ignore this video like it never happened but after watching the apology video this morning, I’m more livid and miffed at the rate at which most forms of abuse go unchecked in Nigeria. 

“In the poorly staged apology video, the priest described his actions as “normal correction” and “a minor correction”. He was even encouraged by another apology of an adult who I couldn’t tell who he was exactly, that he would have blamed the priest if he didn’t do that. 

“He hit a defenseless child. He humiliated that child. He harmed that child’s confidence. He hit the head of the child for a very flimsy reason. Now imagine when that child does something really wrong. 

“A priest who couldn’t control himself in public. Take a moment to think about what he’s capable of doing behind closed doors. If we think this is normal behavior, then we are all abnormal. 

“Knocking a kid in the head unprovoked is a violent and criminal act. @nigerianpolice why haven’t you invited this man? If you fight for one child, you will be saving very many others. We must prevent and put out small fires before we all get consumed. 

“In a society where a virgin priest who preaches the teachings of Jesus uses physical harm to convey his unprocessed emotions, there is bound to be doom. We’re probably in hell already.”
