Lagos Chased Out Of United Methodist During Service
Barkuma Andrew
Following the popular saying that ''Everyday is for the thief, but just one day is for the owner'',
a pastor of United Methodist Church Mafoluku in Oshodi area of Lagos
state named Barkuma Andrew who has a habit of sleeping with female
members of the church was yesterday subjected to a monumental disgrace.
The fake pastor was chased out of the church during the service.
The members of the church allegedly drove him out after being enraged by the news that he impregnated his housemaid.
It was learnt that the pastor, Barkuma Andrew, was stopped from leading the church seven months ago when the housemaid, who was also a member of the church, Grace, had complications after aborting the pregnancy. Andrew lives with his wife, children, wife’s cousin, Favour, and Grace in a three-bedroom flat on the church premises.
According to media reports, the members had petitioned the Central
Conference of the church in Taraba State to investigate the alleged
atrocity. They, however, sought the service of another pastor three
weeks ago when the district reportedly failed to probe Andrew.
According to eyewitnesses, members had come to church around 10am for Sunday service only to see that Andrew and some “unknown” people had commenced the service.
It was gathered that the development resulted in a breach of the peace as Andrew and his group were chased out of the church.
Men from the Makinde Police Division, including the DPO, were said to have intervened after the incident was reported at the station.
A member of the church and a former secretary to Andrew, Moses Sherima, told our correspondent that the pastor sent his wife to her village when he impregnated Grace.
He said, “My room is opposite pastor’s apartment and I was his secretary. When he started dating that girl (Grace), I called his wife’s cousin, Favour, on the matter. She said Grace used to tell her whenever the pastor had sex with her.
“At a point, I had to move upstairs when I could no longer bear it. The day that abortion happened, I was sleeping inside my room when I heard Grace screaming. I rushed there and saw blood coming out from her private parts. When the wife came back from one of her numerous journeys, he told her to send Favour away.”
