As the barbaric practice of Osu Caste continues to eat deep into the believe of the Igbo Society, Bishop Stafford Nwaogu General Overseer Praise Centre International Church, Owerri has urged Christians, as a matter of urgency to see to the abolition of the practice.

Describing Osu Caste as man’s inhumanity to man, Bishop Nwaogu noted without equivocation that if Christians can meet at the Synod and agree on one voice to stop wake keepings, corps lying in the mortuary for 6months and above, then putting a stop to Osu Caste which has done more harm than good would be achieved.

According to him while briefing newsmen in his office, Osu Caste refers to those who are superstitiously believed to be slaves, hence the discrimination between the free born “diala” against Osu caste affects marriage and relationship as the freeborn is traditionally and socially abhorred and forbidden to marry an Osu.
