It was a show of shame,
yesterday, in Enugu as two pastors and their loyalists engaged themselves in
fisticuffs at Mount Street Parish of Assemblies of God Church, Nigeria. READ IT HERE http://duke-imandu.blogspot.com/2015/07/two-assemblies-of-god-pastors-fight-in.html
Consequently, police was
compelled to lock up the church premises.
The incoming pastor Udeze,
said to have been very furious, insisted that he had been officially posted
there by the leadership of the church under Rev. Paul Emeka. He also insisted that Rev.
Agbo had been transferred to another parish since May 2015.
However, Rev Agbo disagreed,
insisting that he was still in-charge of the parish as he was yet to be
formally written by Rev. Okoroafor’s leadership of the
church, which he recognized.
Factional Sunday School
Trouble started as early as
7a.m., when supporters of both pastors arrived and started sharing different
versions of Sunday school manual in preparation for the main service.
When the factional pastors
arrived, the situation broke down completely as the pastors started shoving
each other and shortly afterwards, members of the two factions engaged in
fisticuffs.
Divisional Police Officer,
Dennis Ayara, who later arrived the scene, made frantic efforts to bring the
situation under control through negotiation, but to no avail.
The police, therefore,
cordoned off the church and put it under lock, while the leaders of the two
factions were asked to report to the station.
