Clement Ekpeye

The Rt. Revd. Clement Nathan Ekpeye (DSSRS, JP, AP) is a Nigerian Anglican bishop and the pioneer Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ahoada in the Church of Nigeria.[1][2]

Ministry

Ekpeye was consecrated as the inaugural Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Ahoada on 25 July 2004 at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Abuja, following the creation of the diocese by the Church of Nigeria.[3]

The Diocese of Ahoada is one of the dioceses within the Anglican Province of the Niger Delta, a province of the Church of Nigeria.[4]

In December 2018, Ekpeye was abducted by unidentified gunmen in Rivers State while travelling to a church programme. His kidnapping was widely reported by national and international news organisations, and he was subsequently released.[5][6]
