How 3 Catholic Priests “Killed” Our Lady’s—A Fast-Growing Business & 1st Smart City in Nigeria, As Well As the Owner

Attached below is a three-part documentary featuring the massive destruction of lives, properties and dreams by three clergies of the Catholic Church, as told by Mrs. Patricia Onuorah.

Mrs. Onuorah is the daughter of the late Chief Francis Onuorah and Chief Mrs. Juliana Uzoamaka Onuorah, the proprietors of Our Lady’s Complex, probably the first smart city in Nigeria located at Nkpor, Anambra State.

Onuorah told a horrible story of greed, criminal violence, theft, and torture meted on her family by three priests of the Catholic Church.

The priests include Archbishop Valerian Maduka Okeke, a Nigerian Catholic prelate who has served as Archbishop of Onitsha since 2003.

The said crimes were shockingly perpetrated in the full glare and even in connivance with security operatives, namely the police.

For the records, Our Ladys is home to a Catholic Church cathedral, which attracted the bee that stung the owner, a police station, and a hospital/ maternity home.

It also hosts an adults home, a nursery, primary, and secondary school, while documentation of the university was being processed.

It also contained various farms, including piggery, fishery and agricultural farms, a bakery, industries, and so on.

To the shock of the crew of Diaspora Digital Media (DDM), who conducted the investigation, some of the properties have been permanently converted to church premises and/or private properties.

The schools have been totally destroyed and left to rot in ruins.

Also, the schools’ infrastructures, including beds, chairs, tables, stools, even blackboards, have been vandalised.

Also destroyed or vandalised is the bakery producing the famous Our Lady’s Bread, evidently once the most popular across the South East region and even beyond.

Meanwhile, the perpetrators launched a campaign of calumny against the property owners, after unleashing mayhem on them.

DDM leant that they threatened to ex-communicate any church member that sympathises with the victims or sends their children to any of their schools.

Several petitions to Catholic authorities have yielded no fruits whatsoever.

Dozens of lawsuits lie strewn about inconclusively in all the major courts in and around Onitsha and Awka with no end in sight.

In the midst of all these atrocious acts, old Chief Mrs. Juliana Onuorah, who could not stand her years of hard work destroyed, gave up the ghost.

Her only child and daughter, Mrs. Patricia Onuorah, who could not stand the labour of her parents die in vain vowed till death to recover every inch of the properties stolen.

She also vowed to fight the legal battle till the end and ensure that all the damages are accounted for and compensated accordingly.

A visit to the six-acre dilapidated smart city shows the once bubbling city now a shadow of itself.

The whole environment reeks of dead life, abandonment, destruction and ruins, akin to the prophetic destruction of Babylon, “piles of stones, a lair of jackals, an object of horror and something to whistle at, without an inhabitant”.

Part two of this story will show various pictures before and after, as well as official documents, especially from courts showing various efforts to disinherit Patricia Onuorah and take over her parents’ properties.

Watch the horror as captured in the three-part documentary below and shudder at what could only be described as man’s inhumanity to man, or better still “church’s inhumanity to man” below:
