The incident, which is building up tension in Enugu, happened a week to the end of Governor Sullivan Chime’s administration.
It was gathered that trouble started when members of the task force, accompanied by armed policemen, invaded a parcel of land that belong to the Christ Church, Uwani, Anglican Communion, and tried to demolish it with 5 bulldozers without saying anything to them first. This invasion angered the priests and members of the church.
The Clerics were said to have tried to stop the Task force from carrying out the demolition exercise but were over powered by the government agents, who allegedly attacked the church leaders and mercilessly beat them up.
One of the victims, who gave her name as Naomi Ibekwe told journalists that she was hit with iron and stones, which left her with severe injuries bruises.
Fortunately, the State Commissioner of Police, Muhammed Abubakar Adamu, arrived at the the scene to stop the assault.
Reacting to the incident, the State Commissioner of Police, Adamu Mohammed, told the angry church leaders and their faithful that they should allow peace to reign as negotiation had begun.
“We have discussed with the church. If anybody is injured, we will not take it lightly. We have already asked that a formal report be made and we will follow it up. We have agreed on a peace move and we are following it up”, he stated.Also speaking, the Priest in-charge of the Christ Church, Venerable N. Aghadi said,
“We have talked at length and discussed very progressively. “The Commissioner of Police is pleading that we should go home and rest. He has promised that the matter is in good hand and that immediately the Archbishop returns, he will have meeting with him”.However, a source told Saturday Vanguard that the state government revoked the land with an intention to build an estate christened “Transparency Estate”.

Since the police has taken over, they should just let it be.
But some people don't fear God o, how will you beat a man of God?
Haven't they seen "Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm"
If this was true, then it is totally unacceptable. After the investigation, the culprit should be punished accordingly.

It's well.

Idiot.....mbaka na Catholic priest....... If to say they touch mbaka all of them, for don turn to imbecile by now
Na so ppl dey cary get curse ooo.....after now. .dem go dey useless
Peace should reign, and restore thereof. Its not advisable dat MOG should b touched if not d punishment dat awaits those involve wil b sth else.
@igwe adaobi , it starts with how can you beat anyone in public because you are a member of a task force and not how can you beat a man of God? Zero tolerance has not been shown to violence in our country and so anything goes. If this had happened in Baltimore......
You are a big idiot. Why thou speak sacrilege??
its a shitty situation but you cant physically stop armed men from carrying out instructions such as demolition. There are better ways the taskforce could have handle this though
Who is the kid talking.....idiotuu
