So many has been said about the Christ Embassy Church, Uyo zonal headquarters. I took out my time to make some enquiries as to why such an organized church with graduate pastors would want to put the lives of many Nigerians at stake. Why they would flaw government stipulated directives to curtail the spread of this dangerous incurable virus.

A lady explained What really happened in Christ Embassy Church in Akwa Ibom before it was shut down. A look at the sitting arrangement shows the church complied with the social/physical distancing rule. (PHOTS BELOW)

The news of the Church being shut down in Akwa Ibom state has caused a lot of reactions from people online.

After the statement was released by government officials, many people explained what really happened at the church last Sunday.

This leads to a lady who is the confirmed member of the church opens up on what really happened after the news was all over media.

The Management committee of Covid19 issued a statement on sunday that a church, which was confirmed to be Christ Embassy church founded by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is sealed by the committee, because the church did not obey the rules and regulations or protocols of covid-19, precisely social distancing in Akwa Ibom.

The government official said in a statement that when CAN and convid-19 committee member visited the church, they discovered that they have obstructed the laws set by different organisation to prevent the spread of the virus. So they have to close the church. A look at the covid-19 enforcement team showed they were the ones that defiled the social distancing rule.

However, as I said earlier when the news was out, a Lady explained that what the Secretary said is not totally true .She said that she was there when the whole thing started and the information was not accurate. She said the policemen were the ones that came and even start attacking the members of the church.

She further explained that police even slapped one of the media crew members and collected his camera so that he will not view the whole scene.

She further emphasized that the policemen were the ones showing violence. This was what she said after she read the letter from Emmanuel Ekuwem: "liars, I was in that church today, the church obeyed the guidelines and your policemen that were with the task force were the ones showing violence. A policeman slapped a member of the media team and took his camera from him. Nite: this camera is church property and was used in recording the way people entered into the church and how they applied sanitizer to people's palms"

Another witness, a man who chose not to be mentioned had this to say:

"It was a beautiful service on Sunday at Christ Embassy Uyo, I was welcomed to church by our great ushers, with one of them using a thermometer to check body temperature, when I step forward I was welcomed with a smile by our beautiful ushers carrying hand sanitizer. I was amazed at the level of cordination there and in front of her was over 20 bottles of hand sanitizer, wow, on getting into the church hall, there was a well arranged hall with all necessary compliance, excellently arranged to meet our ministry standard.

I was so happy because it was a beautiful day, to the Glory of God, the service ended and God was glorified.

Sadly after church service I was disappointed to notice armed men on uniform, read this, the service was over at this point, I was afried to see this,

The statement and report from the media is a big lie from the pit of hell, I withnessed the incident,IT WAS A PEACEFUL DIALOGUE but the person in charge of the team slapped our camera man that recorded the incident and went away with our church Camera, I believe we are all educated and we know the effect of COVID 19.

#i am a Christ Embassy member,

# I say NO to false media report."

[i]Also reacting to the news, Bro. Anselm, a leader in the church said CAN is fighting the church because the church refused to join CAN due to its involvements with politics and the way it handles some issues. The church therefore prefers to be dissassioted with the body

sad things is, Christians are the ones rallying against the church!

Question is, why's the church the primary target and not banks, markets etc?

They can't keep stopping the church, someday, they'd have to arrest all of us, because we'd have church everywhere especially our homes etc!

The church is moving on, and the gates of hell cannot prevail.

No use of face mask? What is the appropriate population size? Your pastor Chris, advocated for the laying of hands, is that inclusive in the guideline? There are many more.


But looking away from Nigeria, has other CE churches in other parts of the world opened? and will CE obey ALL the guidelines there or some?


PS: while contemplating the answers to the questions raised above, ask yourself these. If every religious and non-religious organizations, people and persons decide to flaunt government directives in Nigeria and the rest of the world as CE pastors and members are doing by not obeying ALL THE REOPENING OF CHURCHES GUIDELINES, how will the world be like? Will that destabilize the governments? Will that cause more law abiding people to spring up?

I saw the picture and I read the post. Look at it yourself. Was there use of face mask? Will the pastor also lay hands? Is that also the right population size approved for the reopening of churches?

I still want to give you a benefit of doubt that you will address those issues and many more I intend to raise, since you posted that picture as prove of compliance but we know it's more than that alone.
