In a decisive move, the Knights of St John International, Assumption Commandery Nnewi, under the Catholic Church, has formally expelled Sir James Louis Okoye, also known as Akacham, following an incident on January 14.
The Commandery’s President, Sir Noble Cyprian Egbosi, stated that the expulsion comes after a thorough investigation into Okoye’s actions, including denouncing the Roman Catholic Church and embracing apostasy.
The official letter outlined the reasons for his expulsion:
Denouncement of the Catholic Church
Adoption of apostasy
Conduct deemed unbecoming of a Knight
Okoye is now barred from claiming any rights or privileges of the Knights, including the use of the title “Sir,” wearing the Knight’s uniform, or retaining any property belonging to the order.
This announcement marks a rare and high-profile disciplinary action within the Catholic fraternal order.
