Enugu—It was a show of shame, yesterday, in
Enugu as two pastors and their loyalists
engaged themselves in fisticuffs at Mount
Street Parish of Assemblies of God Church,
Nigeria.

Consequently, police was compelled to lock
up the church premises.

Vanguard gathered that the church was
turned into a battle field, yesterday
morning, as two pastors and their
supporters fought over who should take
control of the parish.

Crisis of factionalisation of the
Assemblies of God Church had been lingering
for more than three years as two persons,
Professor Paul Emeka and Dr. Chidi
Okoroafor, are each laying claims to the
leadership of the church, a position known
as General Superintendent, a matter that is
currently before the Supreme Court.

The drama started when one of the pastors,
Rev. Nathaniel Udeze, came with letters of
posting and other court documents as part
of preparations to be installed as the new
pastor at the parish.

He was promptly resisted upon arrival with
his team of supporters.
Leading the opposition was current resident
pastor of the parish, Reverend Amaechi
Agbo, who along with his supporters, also
vowed not to allow Pastor Udeze take over,
accusing him of being an “intruder.”

The incoming pastor Udeze, said to have
been very furious, insisted that he had
been officially posted there by the
leadership of the church under Rev. Paul
Emeka.

He also insisted that Rev. Agbo had been
transferred to another parish since May
2015.

Howver, Rev Agbo disagreed, insisting that
he was still in-charge of the parish as he
was yet to be formally written by Rev.
Okoroafor’s leadership of the church, which
he recognised.

Factional Sunday School
Trouble started as early as 7a.m., when
supporters of both pastors arrived and
started sharing different versions of
Sunday school manual in preparation for the
main service.
When the factional pastors arrived, the
situation broke down completely as the
pastors started shoving each other and
shortly afterwards, members of the two
factions engaged in fisticuffs.

Divisional Police Officer, Dennis Ayara,
who later arrived the scene, made frantic
efforts to bring the situation under
control through negotiation, but to no
avail.

The police, therefore, cordoned off the
church and put it under lock, while
the leaders of the two factions were asked
to report to the station.

Prof and a Dr? What a shame. Greed is too much in our churches nowadays. God have mercy

Its all about the money...there goes our mentors.

If it is not for money they wouldn't fight.

AG the political church were leaders are elected, members are taxed above their means like say 2mao nor dey, women cmpete wth Holandis and Gorge. #quote me at ur own peril

The holy spirit has left them...greed has replaced it
