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 was 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.
