Church service abruptly ended at the United Methodist Church in the Durumi area of the Federal Capital Territory as congregants engaged in 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.
Punch correspondent gathered 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.
When contacted, the FCT command police spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, confirmed the incident.
She added that the Commissioner of Police, Bennett Igweh, had invited the church elders to his office on Monday.
