There was chaos at the premises of Magistrate court 3 in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State after the Founder of God Is Able Mega Fire Ministry located in Opolo area of the state capital, Kingsley Abiekunogho, ordered his members to attack journalists.
Abiekunogho is standing trial for allegedly obtaining a Sports Utility SUV vehicle and money from one of his members, Seiyefa Saiyou, by trick. He was said to have asked his followers who besieged the court to shield him from the journalists while he made his way to a waiting car that would speed away with him after the hearing.
His plan, however, apparently failed as the church members could not cover him from the prying eyes and cameras of the reporters.
Angered by the agility of the journalists who managed to get shots of him, Abiekunogho ordered his followers to beat up the journalists.
According to Independent News, The church members, acting on his directive, descended heavily on the journalists who were waiting outside the court, having earlier been ordered to leave the courtroom by the Magistrate who heard the case in camera.
The church members, numbering over 100, beat up the journalists and damaged the camera belonging to the Correspondent of TVCNN while the Silverbird TV reporter was lucky to have escaped the onslaught.
