It was a mixture of shame and drama in Enugu armed policemen invaded the Assemblies of God Church headquarters and chased away pastors from the church.
The police officers in the company of Rev. Dr. Chidi Okoroafor chased out other pastors from the secretariat in Enugu
The General Superintendent Rev Dr Chidi Okoroafor has enforced the court judgement which certified him as the GS of the church as he chased the former General Superintendent, Rev. Paul Emeka and all other pastors siding him out of the Evangel House Headquarters in Enugu on Wednesday.
He executed the order with the help of armed policemen after Emeka refused to vacate his office in the secretariat, and continued to parade himself as General Superintendent, even after his removal by the church’s General Council on March 6, 2014.
Initial attempts by the new General Superintendent of the church, Rev. Paul Okoroafor, and other leaders of the church, to recover the national secretariat were thwarted by Emeka, who again went to court to insist that he was the church’s leader.
Violence was, however, averted as the police cordoned off the streets around the secretariat, after arresting some of Emeka’s loyalists.
The arrested persons, were led away in handcuffs.
