PRESIDENT BUHARI
ORDERS CLOSURE OF
ASO ROCK VILLA
CHURCH

 03 Sep 2015  Admin  News

President Muhammadu Buhari has moved against
Christian religious activities within the precincts of
the Aso Rock presidential villa, a source familiar with
the matter has disclosed to The Trent.

The Aso Rock Villa Chapel serves as the official church
of Aso Rock where Christian activities inside the
presidential villa are conducted.

According to an eyewitness who spoke to The Trent
on Thursday, September 3, 2015 on condition of
anonymity, heavily armed men stormed the Aso Rock
Chapel on Sunday, August 30, 2015 denying
worshippers access to the church.

“Normally, services begin by 7am at the church but
when we got there, we met armed security men who
said we cannot enter. They said they were acting on
orders from above. We waited outside till a few
minutes past 8am before they allowed us to enter,”
the source disclosed.

A visibly embarrassed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
who worships at the Villa Church, arrived the Chapel
and could be seen managing to conceal a worried
expression over the incident.

When our reporter contacted Presidential
Spokesman Garba Shehu to confirm the
development, he claimed he was not aware of the
incident. “What you are telling me is news to me. I am
not aware of this issue. There is a lot we are dealing
with and I hope you are aware the church was
handed over to Vice President Osinbajo. So please
call Prince Laolu Akande, his spokesman to confirm
this issue”, he said.

Further investigations by The Trent have revealed that
Sunday’s move was the second in a series of brazen
attempts to shut down Christian activities in the Villa.
Less than two months ago, the Children’s Church of
the Villa Chapel where the wife of the Vice President,
Mrs. Oludolapo Osinbajo worships with the children
was closed down on orders from above. According to
our source, “security concerns were given as reasons
for the closure of the Children’s Church.”

Attempts by this newspaper to reach Vice-Presidential spokesman Laolu Akande failed as his phone lines were unreachable at the time of filing in this report.

This is excellent news. If I were head of state I would have done the same, only earlier. We can't have scam houses in state house like we did when the drunken master held sway. I hope this news is true

Stop this propaganda. This news piece is completely FALSE; no reputable publication has published it since it was first created by wailers who have been trying to push it for two days now. Corruption is truly fighting back.

This propaganda is Dead on Arrival.

And is there a mosque in Aso Villa? You people and your mischievous sentimentality. Abuja isn't lacking in churches and mosques, Aso Villa does not need one, less so now that the president is not Christian. People can make their way to local places of worship.
