Church’s security arrests 10 worshippers for wearing #BuhariMustGo T-shirt during service

There was drama at the Dumamis International Worship Centre, (Glory Dome) along Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport Road in Abuja, on Sunday, as 10 worshippers believed to be human rights activists were reportedly arrested by the church’s security guards for wearing #BuhariMustGo (Anti-President Muhammadu Buhari) t-shirts to the church.

It was gathered that the activists had gone to the church for the Sunday morning service but were reportedly rounded up by the church’s security guards for wearing the t-shirts believed to be offensive and against the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Eyes witnesses disclosed that the church authorities immediately contacted the Department of State Services (DSS) whose operatives consequently stormed the church and whisked the activists away to an unknown destination in the full glare of the worshippers

Six of the activists were whisked away in a Hilux van and two power bikes.

The activists were manhandled and beaten by the DSS operatives on the church premises, who also seized their mobile phones.

Paul Enenche is the Senior Pastor of the church.

A source said, “Security men at Dunamis Gospel Church have arrested activists who wore #BuhariMustGo T-shirts to their church service: the church security later handed them over to DSS officials who are currently torturing them.

“I thought Pastor Dr Paul Enenche was also preaching about justice! The six activists were driven away in a DSS Hilux van and two power bikes. Shame on the house of God!

“About 10 activists decided to attend Dunamis church in their #BuhariMustGo T-shirts. The church asked all first-timers to come out for prayers. The patriotic citizens obeyed the clarion call from the altar with their fully displayed BuhariMustGo shirts.

“They were immediately apprehended by the church security on their way out of the church and subsequently handed to the DSS. Kudos to the courageous activists for this creativity. I’m certain if the activists had worn a shirt with the inscription ‘Sai Buhari’, they would have ranked as Pastor Enenche’s new best friend.”

Similarly, in April, violent youths descended on two middle-aged protesters– Larry Emmanuel and Anene Victor Udoka–who were pasting Buhari-Must-Go posters in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.

Newsflash Nigeria learnt that the irate mob flogged the two youths, filmed them, and brutalised them before they were later handed over to the police.

It was gathered that the police thereafter quizzed the two protesters and detained them when they insisted on seeing their lawyer before making a statement.

In some viral videos, the protesters were seen being molested and questioned by the mob before they were flogged as the youths forced them to clean their painting of “Buhari Must Go”.

The court, last Thursday, resumed trial of the two activists after being granted bail after spending 78 days in detention.
