Two protesters were arrested yesterday at the #ChurchTooMovement by security personnel who were there to counter the effect of the COZA protest.

According to eye witnesses, two men were arrested and taken away in a black Mercedes Benz which belonged to unknown security personnel before 8:00 a.m. Other citizens who were there to protest against Pastor Fatoyinbo were also harassed even before start of the protest.

Reports revealed that more security men were deployed as more protesters came to the church’s headquarters in Guzape, Abuja. About 30 police officers and 20 civil Defence personnel were sited at the church’s premises.

There was also the presence of masked State Security Service men everywhere around the church whose aim was to intimidate the protesters. Some soldiers were also seen at the church at about 8:40 a.m. 

The security agents and the church’s security personnel together conducted a thorough search of visitors and members of the church who wanted to enter and be part of the service at 9:00 a.m. 

The members and visitors however complained about the measures and said they were not necessary.
