A press statement available to ITREALMS and personally signed by the Archbishop of Lagos, Dr. Martins, he placed on behalf of the Catholic church a disclaimer on Fr. Anelu, describing the priest ban utterance as “unsavoury remarks that do not represent the Catholic Church's position on common brotherhood of peoples of all tribes and religions."
