[size=14pt]Panic At The Synagogue, As Knife-Wielding Man Targets T.B. Joshua On The Pulpit[/size]


There was panic at the Ikotun, Lagos-based Synagogue Church of All Nations last Sunday when a man with a knife forced himself through the crowd of worshippers and attempted to stab the controversial pastor, Prophet T.B Joshua, on the pulpit while he was preaching.




The 43-year old intruder, identified as Louise Mberi, P.M.NEWS gathered, armed himself with a knife and attempted to stab the prophet during a church service but was stopped by ushers and other security personnel before he could reach T.B.  Joshua.


Louise allegedly hid the knife in his waist and was heading for the altar where T.B.  Joshua was preaching when vigilant ushers suspected his moves and stopped him. When he was searched by the security men, a sharp knife was found on him and was promptly handed over to policemen.

The discovery caused panic in the church as security was beefed up around the prophet who continued his sermon despite the development. When he was interrogated by policemen at the Ikotun station, Louise claimed that he  was going to the altar  to seek prayers from T.B. Joshua for his poor health. He  could not, however, explain why he armed himself with a knife.

The police later charged him before the Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court, Ikotun, for an  attempt to stab and distrupt service at the Synagogue Church of All Nations. The charge sheet reads: “That you, the defendant on the same date, time and place  did attempt to stab by concealing a knife in your waist in order to cause havoc,  panic and disturb peace during the church service at the Synagogue Church of All  Nations,” an offence contrary to Sections 508 and 80 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 17,  Vol.2, Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2003.

He pleaded not guilty to the charge and the magistrate, Mrs. M. B. Folami, granted  him bail in the sum of N25,000 with two sureties. The court ordered that the sureties must be a blood relation of the accused. The magistrate also ordered that the defendant must be taken to a psychiatric  hospital for mental evaluation.

The matter has been adjourned till 20 December, 2010. The defendant was later remanded in prison custody at Apapa, Lagos, pending the  fulfilment of his bail conditions. A member of the Synagogue Church of All Nations who spoke on the incident with  P.M.NEWS expressed shock at the incident and wondered why anyone would want to harm  the prophet he described as a philantropist.

Spot the contradiction.

Louise allegedly hid the knife in his waist and was heading for the altar where T.B. Joshua was preaching when vigilant ushers suspected his moves and stopped him. When he was searched by the security men, a sharp knife was found on him and was promptly handed over to policemen.

Rubbish journalism again.

Na wa o. Problem everywhere.

Nice observation @beaf. In an attempt to sell the news the reporter was overzealous & wrote nonsense that contradicts. Im sure when sermon was being given, pple were sitted and there was no way he could have forced himself when the atmosphere was calm listening to sermon. Also the ushers spotted him quickly cos pple were sitted.

The man could probably be an attention seeker with no intent to harm like he alleged

^^Or the whole thing could have been stage managed to make waves.

Nothing is impossible!

Hmmmmn, has his Miracle Expired before the expiry date or did he get confirmed China Miracle rather than Original German Miracle

Beaf:

There is no proof, the magistrate should refund the poor mans 25k

Whatever he might have done,thats not the best way to take a revenge.

Useless Journalism. wheres the attempt to stab, he had a knife and so what, he was moving through the crowd and was spotted, but wheres the attempt,. When they say he allegedly hid the knife, weren't they speculating, does it mean an attempt to stab.

So wetin come concern devil?

Just trying to create News or noise for TBJ again, eh

As for the charges and the magistrate, what a confused style:  granting a 'crazy-man' bail - N25,000,

who will pay the bill - Fashola or Jonathan?

God forgives, it cud be a set up
