Court orders indefinite closure of Abuja church as pastor escapes through fence

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) mobile court has ordered the indefinite closure of The Shekinah Glory Church, located opposite the popular Citec Estate, Jabi for violating the lockdown order.

Magistrate Mabel Bello who presided over the mobile court on Sunday May 3, ordered security operatives to track and arrest the General Overseer of the church simply identified as Pastor Kalu, who fled from the task force alongside top workers of the church by jumping over the fence.

It was gathered the Pastor, some top church workers including deacons and ushers, jumped over the fence and escaped upon sighting the FCT Enforcement Team led by Comrade Ikharo Attah who were alerted that the church was holding a full service in contravention of the ban on religious gathering.
