Buhari Allegedly Orders Closure of Aso Rock Villa Church
President
Muhammadu Buhari has allegedly moved against Christian religious
activities within the precincts of the Aso Rock presidential villa, a
source familiar with the matter revealed.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 worshipers 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
their 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 new 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 the newspaper to reach Vice-Presidential spokesman Laolu Akande
failed as his phone lines were unreachable at the time of filing in this
report.
