Unknown
gunmen have
attacked the
regional
headquarters of
Mountain of Fire
and Miracles
ministries (MFM)
in Enugu.
The attack was
carried out on
Saturday night,
and the two
security men on
duty at the
church escaped
death with
serious injuries.
Members of the
MFM disclosed to
newsmen that
the gunmen
wielded
machetes and
other dangerous
weapons.
Observation
from our
correspondent
showed that
they pulled
down the entire
concrete fence
of the church
and burnt part
of the altar.
It was gathered
that the attack
on the church
lasted for
several hours,
from midnight on
Saturday to the
wee hours
of Sunday.
The church
recently
relocated to the
new
headquarters at
Emeka Ibila
Street, off
Agbani road,
Enugu. This was
in October 2013,
after the Enugu
State
Government
demolished the
old regional
headquarters at
Zik Avenue.
Regional
Overseer, MFM
South-East 1,
Pastor Rotimi
Olugbule, said he
got a call early
Sunday morning
that armed men
broke into the
church
overnight.
“They were
armed with guns
and other
dangerous
weapons. They
were also armed
with 25 litres
jerry can of fuel.
And they met
with our security
men and others
who were there.
“They
demanded for
their phones and
switched them
off. They broke
a chair on the
head of one of
them and he was
bleeding
profusely. They
also used the
iron rods they
came with to hit
him severally on
the neck,” said
Pastor Olugbule.
