[The Church of England Newspaper] October 21, 2005--The Primate of Nigeria has confronted Archbishop Robin Eames over the Irish Primate’s reported allegations of simony and political corruption within the African Church, asking him to substantiate the charges or withdraw them. If Archbishop Eames had “any evidence” of illicit practices, Archbishop Peter Akinola challenged him on October 16 “to reveal them or make a public apology to your brother Primates in the Global South for this damaging and irresponsible smear”.
