ARSON AT C.C.C. OVERCOMERS PARISH, CHURCH MEMBER SPEAKS SAYS…Its All Lies, They Looted Mission House, Stole Electronics And Musical Instruments And Even Shared Cow Meant For Juvenile Harvest
A member of the Celestial Church of Christ, Overcomers Parish, Oke-Ira Nla, Ajah, Lagos, has come out to debunk the falsehood being spread about the unfortunate developments that led to the death of Dogo, a Hausa man contracted to evacuate the soak-away pit of the Parish. He also threw more light on the subsequent mob action, carnage and arson that followed.
In a post on his social media handle with the name xin_nightwolf, the church member who was an eye witness to the carnage and arson, stated that the perpetrators of the dastardly act cannot be described as an angry mob but a bunch of looters that spent two hours looting the Mission House and stealing all electronic devices and musical instruments in sight. They even went to the extent of removing electric cables and slaughtering and sharing the cow tied down in the Parish premises for the Juvenile Harvest on Sunday.
He further explained that: “This is my church and I’m a leader in the church. Dogo was contracted to evacuate the cesspool/soak-away…He’s well known to work at night and ride bikes by day…While the church was observing the 7 members prayer for the New Moon Service, Dogo came in with his tools and ladder…
Nobody bothered him as he’s a regular face in the church…he does all sorts of odd jobs for the Shepherd, washes car, supplies planks as the church is going through some minor renovations…While working, he fell down into the soak-away…In the attempt of bringing him out, he held the Evangelist who went into the soak-away to help him down to the point that both of them drowned…
Luckily, when they were brought out, the Evangelist was still alive but was in critical condition. Dogo had passed out due to the ingestion of the waste. The woman sounding in the video condemning the Celestial Churc
