However, some people immediately called the priest, and he claimed ignorance of the incident. One Francis Onuoha wrote:

"I just called the priest whose picture appeared above, and he shockingly was dumbfounded about this post. Why are people this foolish? This so called Ifedirichukwu Grace, what are your plans against this priest, what wrong did he do to you. He doesn't even live in public yard not to talk of having a neighbour. I am sure he will soon come in here and answer for himself and the administrator of this site, is this how you guys gather your lies and feed our people? This is why nothing goes well with some people. If Nigerians have gone this far. The Grace here even knows the priests antecedents and the congregation he belongs, yet she went along to post something that is so far from the priest. A Catholic priest, a barrister and a gentle intelligent man to the core. He is my brother and a personal friend. God have mercy on Nigeria."
