It was reported some weeks ago that a Catholic Priest, Rev. Patrick Henry Edet, who is widely known for hosting a weekly Christian programme entitled: “Grace and Inspiration,” on radio in Akwa Ibom State, announced his resignation as a Priest, and fixed a date for his marriage to his fiancée.

The popular Uyo-based priest and radio preacher, while addressing his radio audience on Planet 101.1FM, Uyo, had said then that “the resignation marked the beginning of ‘freedom’ for his spirit and soul”.

He said: “From today henceforth, I cease to be a Catholic priest, in my spirit and in my soul. I forgive those who will criticise me, I live for God. I seek freedom for my soul. As I leave, I leave smiling. I am so happy that I am free.”

Meanwhile, photos have emerged online showing the moment the former Catholic priest who resigned from Catholic church on Thursday, tied the knot traditionally with his beautiful wife in Akwa Ibom.

The church wedding is expected to hold on Saturday, March 17, 2018.
