A two-year dispute was ended when a Catechist knelt before Matai to ask forgiveness in Afega village in Samoa. Confirming this, Assistant Police Commissioner, Le’aupepe Fatu Pula, said: “The complaint has been withdrawn and both parties have agreed to reconcile.” He said the complaint was lodged in 2009 by the village matai council’s Tu’ua or Village Elder, Fata Pemila.
He had accused Catechist Ioane Sao’aiga of selling properties belonging to the Afega Catholic Church, the Police said. Earlier this year, the accused returned the properties namely an amplifier and a speaker to the Police’s Afega Branch, saying he had not stolen them. “It is believed the properties had been misplaced,” said Le’aupepe.
During a meeting between the complainant and the accused, the Catechist knelt before Fata Pemila seeking his forgiveness, the Police said.
