Despite prayers from worshippers, who gathered at the church premises in the Enugu metropolis, the ECTDA officials went on to pull down the church building.
While the bulldozer made the first touch, members of the church, who were already praying, took cover.
Regional Pastor of the church, Ude Ogaranya, described the exercise as an abomination and a rape on justice.
He said, “Actually, this is a rape on justice. This case has been in court since September last year, and we are yet to get justice. The judge is yet to deliver judgment on this. This is totally contempt of court. This is an abomination.
“The land they gave to us was in dispute between the Ngwo people and the Amaechi people, so they (government)could not allow us to move into the land. I wrote to the Inspector General of Police and the Enugu State Commissioner for Land, and they asked the Ngwo people to keep off and just this Saturday, we had access into the land for the first time. We were able to put our pillars and clear the land.
