Nigeria Catholic priest sees the light, dumps Christianity to become a Fetish priest

Prof Pius Abioje, a former Catholic priest and lecturer at the University of Ilorin in Kwara State, has explained why he no longer wears a cassock to participate in traditional worship.

He claimed that he was duped into becoming a Christian and becoming a priest, but that when he returned to his senses, he abandoned the priesthood.

Abioje said; “Along the line, I saw that it (priesthood) was not where I belonged but I could not just rush out of it.

In the first instance, I never saw myself being celibate, that was why I was surprised when I saw myself joining the priesthood and I had to consult a diviner

That is what I can tell you.”

After that, I attended SS Peter and Paul Catholic Seminary, Bodija, Ibadan (Oyo State) in 1977

I was sent to Rome with the current Bishop of Oyo Diocese, Emmanual Badejo; we studied together in Rome and that was where we completed our seminary training with a university degree
