Dr Paul Enenche, has reacted to some youths wearing #BuhariMustGo T-shirt to Dunamis church.
Glamtush reports that Dr Paul Enenche, Senior Pastor of Dunamis Church International Gospel Centre, has faulted the move by some activists who stormed the church’s headquarters in Abuja wearing #BuhariMustGo T-shirt on Sunday.
Recall that some anti-Buhari protesters stormed the church’s headquarters along Airport Road, Glory Dome Abuja and were arrested and detained by the Department of State Services, DSS.
Reacting to the incident, the renowned gospel preacher, in a statement by his spokesman, Dr. Adah Ochowechi said the church was not a political setting where such activities should take place.
The statement, however, debunked reports that the activists were arrested by the church’s security operatives, saying they were nabbed by DSS outside the church premises.
The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn to a misleading caption in the media space about the arrest and detention of youths in our church on Sunday 4th July 2021.
“The narrative being peddled is that some youths wearing T-shirt branded with #BuhariMustGo merely came to church and walked up to the alter as first timers and were arrested by the church and handed over to DSS.
“Nothing can be further than the truth. The church holds three services every Sunday and the Senior Pastor, Dr Paul Enenche preaches in all the services. After the sermon in the first service on that Sunday, an alter call was made to which many people came out, including the said youths, and nothing happened to them.
“No one questioned the legality or otherwise of the inscription on the T-shirts.
“However, soon after their departure from the alter, they swung into protest with blaring trumpet and saxophone right from the exit door of the church. At the same time, the event was been covered and live-streamed with the background shot of the church building and those and those of the thronging crowed both exiting and entering the sanctuary for the next service.
“The live-streaming had the caption, “Buhari Must Go protest hits Dunamis Church in Abuja.
“This appears intriguing for many reasons:
“No one knew who they were or where they came from.
“No one knew the organization they represented or their ultimate agenda until the DSS apprehended them.
“No standard rule of engagement was followed as they merely sneaked into the church and swung into protest on a holy day of service.
“Moreover, the church is not an activism ground but a center for the projection of truth against all forms of evil. The church is non-political and non-partisan and thus not an appropriate ground for political protests. It is not the seat of government where those been protested against reside.
“We wish to state categorically that Dunamis International Gospel Center has no hand in the arrest, and detention of the said youths as they were arrested outside the premises of the church. The church has no right to arrest and detain people and has no detention custody. The right of arrest and detention resides with government security agencies.”
