Kayode Oyero The Federal Capital Territory Administration on Sunday arrested a pastor for flouting the ban on gatherings as part of measures to prevent the community transmission of COVID-19.

The FCTA Enforcement Team arrested the General Overseer of Jesus Reign Family Church, Apo, Pastor U Uden, shortly after the service on Sunday.

In a video released by the FCTA, the Chairman of the team, Ikharo Attah, delivered a speech in the presence of Uden and his church members, shortly before his arrest. “On Friday, we shut down some mosques at Kubwa. Today, we went around and said there should not be gatherings and we understand clearly well that you understand the holy books clearly well.

“We said people should sit down and stay at home. And if they sit at home, whatever prayer they want to offer can be offered. That means that our prayers can be heard anywhere.”“What you are doing is a contravention. It is a breach of the rule.

Low budget pastor chris!!

COUNTRIES infected with covid-19

Our brothers from religion of peace will never take this. They would have burnt the police station

The man must chop na disobedience against civil authorities, wondering what he is preaching self

bobbyedegbo Jail him

Cous Attah made me proud today schooling those fanatics who fear their pastors more than they fear God. They forgot God instructed the Israelites to self isolate when he plagued Egypt during the killing of the first born sons.

Why una go deniam the tithes and offerings na ...Aba pastor just dey comot sweat as if Nepa took light

Good move.

He just can’t allow today’s offerings to pass by

Low budget Pastor Chris

Obedience is better than...

Kindly put him behind bars until the scourge is over. Remember to make the gullible church members bail themselves with at least 50k each and you won't need to run after them any more. Some Africans like to be treated like cows and so deserve the chief herder- Covik president!

Disobedience to Authority is UNGODLY!

Offering and Tithe made them disobey. Simple instruction for the safety of everyone. This is not fate but stupidity by the so called Christians

Yellow scape goat

So stubborn !

zataarra The Pastor disobeyed because he couldn't come to terms with missing out on offerings and tithe for the week. Nigerian pastors self

Why are all these pastors so stubborn...

I want the congregation too be arresred since they can't stay at home, let em stay in the station for a week at least, by the time they are released from the cell nobody will teach em how to pray at home

Which of them is the pastor? The one on the left looks like Aba version of Michael Jackson.

You preach obedience and you yourself you are not obedient to authority.......what sort of leader are you. He should probably spend some days there....God have mercy... but I love the guy that led the arrest 👌🏾

NeekyStandard When will people hear word! Can God accept the worship of the disobedient? I dont think so

Obedience is better... Less messier.

They shouldn't arrest any citizen they should beat them to pulp that what fit Nigerian

Smh these guys never learn.
