- Comedian Bovi and actress Kate Henshaw have reacted to the video of a young boy being knocked by a Catholic priest.
- In the video, the boy reportedly did not hold the microphone properly for the groom while the priest officiated a wedding.
- Bovi described the act as abuse and stated that he was more livid with the apology that the Catholic priest tendered.
Comedian Abovi Ugboma, aka Bovi, has called on the Nigerian Police Force to look into the case of a Catholic priest who knocked his altar boy when he was officiating a wedding.
In a viral video, the priest was coordinating the vows of the groom and he knocked the young boy in a bid to prompt him to hold the microphone close to the groom’s mouth.
The video unsettled many netizens including the entertainers. According to Kate, the priest’s act is an abuse.
Bovi noted that the priest’s apology was poorly staged. The priest had apologised for his act and said it was a normal correction and not an intentional act.
The funnyman said the cleric humiliated the altar boy and killed his confidence. He added that netizens should think about a priest who cannot control himself in public, and what he would be doing to those under him in private. Hence, he called on the police to invite the priest for questioning.
