PRESS RELEASE - DISCLAIMER- Davis Mac- Iyalla
The general public is hereby warned of the activities of a person who goes by the name of Davis (David) Mac Iyalla. He claims to be a homosexual member of the Anglican Church but extensive searches revealed that he is NOT registered in any of our over 10,000 local parishes as of the past two years. None of our over 6000 priests recognise him as an active member in any of their parishes.
He has finally been traced to be the same person who defrauded the then dying Bishop of Otukpo under the guise of marrying his daughter. Iyalla then closed down his own C & S church and took up an appointment with his then proposed father–in-law from whom he fraudulently obtained some church documents. On the death of the bishop mid 2003, Iyalla broke off the engagement and made away with large sums of money including salaries due to some staff. Since then, he has not been seen in Otukpo where he is wanted by the Police. He claims he was sacked and victimised for his homosexuality and uses that guise to further defraud unsuspecting foreigners.
Anyone relating to Davis (David) Mac Iyalla does so at his or her own risk.
Though some misguided Churches especially in the Americas and lately in the UK have deviated from the Biblical teaching that homosexuality is highly displeasing to the creator God, The Church of Nigeria(Anglican Communion) together with many faithful Anglicans worldwide continue to see the practice as an aberration that God can and has been delivering willing people from.
The Church of Nigeria wishes to emphasise that she continues to minister to all her members regardless of the problems they face. Our Priests are adequately trained to counsel and pray with all manner of persons who go to them for help.
