Two Assemblies Of God Pastors Engage In Fist Fight During Church Service In Enug by teeebugs(op): 11:54am On Jul 20, 2015

Two pastors of the Assemblies of God Church Nigeria and their supporters turned yesterday’s worship service to a fighting bout as each group battled over who should control the 27 Mount Street Parish of the church in Enugu.

The latest battle is a new dimension in the leadership crisis rocking the church over who between Rev. Paul Emeka and Rev. Chidi Okoroafor is the authentic General Superintendent of the church.

One of the pastors, Rev. Nathaniel Udeze, came with letters of posting and other court documents in preparation to be installed as the new pastor, but his arrival with his team of supporters was resisted by the resident pastor, Rev. Amaechi Agbo and his supporters, who vowed not to shift ground for any “intruder.”

The matter is currently in several courts including the Supreme Court to determine the true GS of the church.

The fracas at the 27 Mount Street Parish of the church was therefore a demonstration of power tussle between loyalists of the two contending General Superintendents fighting for the soul of the parish considered to be very lucrative.

The development attracted the attention of officers of the nearby Ikirrike Divisional Police, Idaw River Enugu, who stormed the church and ordered the shutting down of the church to avoid break down of law and order.
