There was commotion on Sunday at the
United Methodist Church, Mafoluku, in the Oshodi area of Lagos as
members of the church rejected their pastor and chased him away for
allegedly impregnating his housemaid.
It was learnt that the pastor, Barkuma
Andrew, was stopped from leading the church seven months ago when the
housemaid, who was also a member of the church, Grace, had complications
after aborting the pregnancy.
Andrew lives with his wife, children, wife’s cousin, Favour, and Grace in a three-bedroomed flat on the church premises.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the
members had petitioned the Central Conference of the church in Taraba
State to investigate the alleged atrocity. They, however, sought the
service of another pastor three weeks ago when the district reportedly
failed to probe Andrew.
Our
correspondent learnt that members had come to church around 10am for
Sunday service only to see that Andrew and some “unknown” people had
commenced the service.
It was gathered that the development resulted in a breach of the peace as Andrew and his group were chased out of the church.
