He said “It was an accident. My son did not carry a gun to kill anybody. He involved himself in a terrible accident, and I am not the one who did it, nor his mother. It is my name, that is why people are talking.
He also mentioned that the public outcry about the incident resulted from his status as a renowned man of God.
He bishop encouraged the public to stick to the facts and let the legal process take its course without unwarranted speculation.
He stressed that his son should be seen as just another person involved in an unfortunate accident, not judged based on his father’s position.
“If this was an Okada [motorcycle] accident, who would mention it? It is just because it is my name, so keep quiet and let’s see what the Lord will do.”
