The church destroyed by angry youths
Below is how a Facebbok user, Blessing Akamugbe, reported the story on social media;
"It was pandemonium in Jesse today as unknown youths invade
Pastor Emma Church known as Mountain of Prayers Ministry along the Jesse
Sapele Rd Before Water Board over an alleged civil offence of
adultery.
The angry youths said that Bishop Emma the General Overseer of
the church has been sleeping with married women within and outside the
church. He met his Waterloo when he slept with Chief Austine Omonode's
wife, a former member of the church. It should be noted that Chief
Omonode is the President General of Idjerhe Clan Development Union
(ICDU).
It was unconfirmed whether the angry youths invaded the church
on the order of the ICDU PG. But suffices to say that properties Worth
hundreds of thousands were DESTROYED, 12 of the Members injured but no
life was lost.
As at when the heat was on, Officers of the Nigerian Army arrested the ICDU PG to their base for interrogation.
Other version of the story suggests that the invasion of the
church has political undertone resulting from the recently concluded CDC
election at one of Seplat based community in Jesse in which the Pastor
won as against the candidacy of the PG. In finding means to bringing the
pastor's image down hence the propaganda of lies.
He was advised to step down or face the embarrassment of
adultery. His refusal to comply resulted to the invasion of the church
on Sunday Morning when service was on-going but met the Bishop absent.
They resorted to attack and destroying everything in the church.
Eyes witnesses condemned the adulterous act of the Pastor if
the story is true as well as blamed the highly respected Chief for
giving the nod to his boys for the attack on the church of God which was
the reason the Army got annoyed with the PG.
One thing that makes God the superior was this ;after the
attack, Members of the church continued their service praising God and
shouting Fire, Fire, Fire."
