The ex-reverend sister, Kinse Shako Annastasia, dismissed by the Congregation of Mother of Perpetual Help of the Archangels Sisters (MOPHAS) in Auchi, Edo State, has lost her job at the Catholic University in Abuja.

Annastasia stated this in a Facebook post on September 30.

Annastasia said she was a master's student at Veritas University and was about to begin her thesis when she was dismissed by her Catholic congregation, a decision she termed unjust.

As a result of the dismissal, she lost her job as a graduate assistant at the Catholic University in Abuja.

She disclosed that she is currently managing a disc bulge in my lumbar spine through physiotherapy and medication and appealed to people for assistance to cover her medical bills and basic upkeep.

Her statement partly read:

"...My name is Annastasia Kinse. I was a Masters student at Veritas University, about to begin my thesis when I was unjustly dismissed from my religious congregation. As a result, I also lost my job as a Graduate Assistant at the Catholic University in Abuja.

"I am currently managing a disc bulge on my lumbar spine through physiotherapy and medication. The pain makes it difficult to sit, stand, or bend for long periods, which prevents me from working at this time.

"At this point, I humbly appeal for assistance to cover medical treatment, basic upkeep, and to support this transition into a more reflective and sustainable way of living."
