FCT Police seal church as Sunday service turns violent

Police have locked up the United Methodist Church in the Durumi area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, after a Sunday service turned into a serious fight.

The fight, which went on for hours, resulted in damage to some of the church’s property and required intervention from FCT command operatives to bring it under control.

Reports gathered show that frantic efforts initially made by the police to stop the fight proved abortive until tear gas was released.

It was further gathered that the police locked the church, dismissed the members, and took some of the elders to the station for interrogation.
