A group of angry youths, numbering 20, have reportedly beaten the Pastor of United Evangelical Church, Pastor Michael Samson, to coma.

The clergy of the Church located at Iyano community in Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi State was said to have prevented the youths from carrying out a certain ritual.

Trouble started when the pastor had, during the day, denied the youths access to the church with their Masquerade while they were performing a ceremony.

Angered by the pastor’s denial, the youths came back, armed with dangerous weapons to beat the pastor when he was fast asleep.

It was gathered at the time of filing this report that the pastor was responding to treatment at Idah general hospital.

A dependable source was quoted as saying that the attackers wanted to perform some rituals to the gods of the land which they call “Ane” in Igala land.

The pastor, who was vehemently opposed to that in “God’s house” told them that the church was a mistaken venue for their planned rituals and that they should leave.

“After leaving, however, they came back in the night fully kitted with dangerous objects to beat the Pastor to coma.

“They were up to 20. We are praying right now that nothing happens to our brother because he is currently in critical condition,” the source said.

”The incident has been reported to the Police Division in Onyedega under Ibaji LGA,” one of the pastor’s family narrated to our correspondent on Tuesday afternoon.

It was, however, gathered that Police are on the trail of the people behind the act.

The fear of God is no longer the beginning of wisdom to those youth.

Though it may seem like nothing happen to them but they will surely reap what they sow for touching the anointed.
