Reverend Canon LumenCristi Eboh made this announcement on Monday, March 7, at a press conference in Awka, Anambra state.
According to the priest, he is resigning as a priest of the Anglican Communion because some forces in the church have made his wife leave him.
Reverend Canon added that they also lodged his wife at an undisclosed place, thereby preventing him from making any contact with her.

He added that harassment and conspiracy are the main reasons for his resignation.

He said:
“As I speak, my wife is living differently in an apartment paid for by someone who knows that she is someone’s wife.
“I am only a priest permitted by my communion to enter the sacred institution of marriage. As a married man, I had very private moments with my wife and we shared endearing words just like every young couple. With the crash of my marriage, I have sought to reorder my life, but those fighting me have even sent young women here in an attempt to use prospects of marriage to malign my character and reputation”
