The Catholic Diocese of Nsukka has distanced itself from partisan politics, insisting that comments made by the Bishop of Nsukka, regarding the demolition of shops at Ogige Market, were part of his pastoral duty and not a political statement.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the Director of Communications of the Diocese, Fr Emmanuel Asadu, the Church accused Mr Reuben Onyishi, Senior Special Assistant to Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah, of dragging the Bishop into a political controversy.
