The Nigeria Police Force, Abia State Command in the South-East region has arraigned a 55-year-old man identified as Sunday ThankGod, in court for refusing to pray in church.

According to the charge sheet obtained by SaharaReporters, ThankGod would be arraigned before a Magistrate Court of Abia State in the Aba South Magisterial District holding at Aba South.

In the charge No: MAS/COS/2c/2023, the defendant was accused of conducting himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace by neglecting the opening prayer of the Bishop at the Apostolic Christian Church Mission (ACCM) at No. 34 Omuma Road, Aba.

The charge read, "That you, Sunday ThankGod, on the 16th day of April, 2023 at Apostolic Christian Church Mission (A.C.C.M) at No. 34 Omuma Road Aba, in the Aba South Magisterial District did conduct yourself in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by neglecting the Opening Prayer of the Bishop and thereby caused public disturbance at the church and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 249 (d) of the Criminal Code Cap. 80 Vol 3 Laws of Abia State of Nigeria, 2005."

The date for his trial has not been confirmed at the time of filing this report.

And an idiot is defending the body of Christ he hasn't seen before up there like chybuzzdd a c*rebral p*lsy patient out there.
It's good to arrest someone disturbing the present of children of god Yahweh( Satan ) but a tribulation to caution the wonderful children of god disturbing the gathering of those who disfathered god Yahweh( Satan ).

... I can see Yoruba moslems in here sounding woke as if they arent using megaphones to destroy the ears of ketu ,ojuolegba and mushin dwellers, no police will go for them unless u want ur government to be declared ipob Igbo government, YOU SEE THIS INJUSTICE EVERYONE WILL TASTE IT IN FULL DOSE

Nigerians and Religious beliefs. We are more catholic than Rome.. More Islam than Mecca.. Yet, na us do bad thing pass. If I had my way, I will abolish foreign pilgrimage in this country. Its just a way of looting and wasting funds were the country has a high rate of kids out of school.

In Brazil, some Brazilians worship Ifa, why their government no dey sponsor them come here..?

Refused to pray?

I'm sorry, but we are not being told the full story here. If he is truly being punished for not praying, then the church is wrong to involve the police, as such things reflect badly on the body of Christ, plus it is wrong to oppress people.

But I don't think we are being told the full story, such as what is the nature of the disturbance caused, plus was there any ongoing problems leading up to the event? Plus, if ThankGod was really angry with the church, why was he still going to that church.

So many questions.

Lmao.
All of you should read well o.
It's not just cos of refusal to pray. It's said that he was causing nuisance to public peace.
O n da adugbo laamu!
So make una no think say it's just cos of prayer.
Meanwhile, the man's punishment should be 3 days dry fasting n prayer in a CAC church. He ll learn how to pray violently cos the kingdom of God suffereth violence & the violence taketh it by force!

Story is complete. Just that he conducted himself in such a manner that can lead to disruption of public peace. It's not only the Muslims that does this, Christians also do it. Go to a church and start insulting or misbehaving, you will be beaten up and arrested.

He was said to have conducted himself in a manner that would amount to a breach of public peace. It has nothing to do with prayer actually. Disrupting the public peace which is akin to affray is a misdemeanor (I think) - a simple offence with less than 2 years terms upon conviction).

People should not be allowed to disrupt proceedings being held by 'right thinking members of the public'

So, the arraignment is nothing new or strange and is nothing to do with prayers (or lack of it).
