President Muhammadu Buhari has moved against Christian religious
activities within the precincts of the Aso Rock presidential villa, a
source familiar with the matter has revealed.
The Aso Rock Villa Chapel serves as the official church of Aso Rock
where Christian activities inside the presidential villa are conducted.
According to an eyewitness who spoke to The Trent on Thursday,
September 3, 2015 on condition of anonymity, heavily armed men stormed
the Aso Rock Chapel on Sunday, August 30, 2015 denying worshippers
access to the church.
“Normally, services begin by 7am at the church but when we got
there, we met armed security men who said we cannot enter. They said
they were acting on orders from above. We waited outside till a few
minutes past 8am before they allowed us to enter,” the source disclosed.
A visibly embarrassed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who worships at
the Villa Church, arrived the Chapel and could be seen managing to
conceal a worried expression over the incident.
When our reporter contacted Presidential Spokesman Garba Shehu to
confirm the development, he claimed he was not aware of the incident.
“What you are telling me is news to me. I am not aware of this issue.
There is a lot we are dealing with and I hope you are aware the church
was handed over to Vice President Osinbajo. So please call Prince Laolu
Akande, his spokesman to confirm this issue”, he said.
Further investigations by The Trent have revealed that Sunday’s move
was the second in a series of brazen attempts to shut down Christian
activities in the Villa.
Less than two months ago, the Children’s Church of the Villa Chapel
where the wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Oludolapo Osinbajo worships
with the children was closed down on orders from above. According to our
source, “security concerns were given as reasons for the closure of the
Children’s Church.”
Attempts by this newspaper to reach Vice-Presidential spokesman Laolu
Akande failed as his phone lines were unreachable at the time of filing
in this report.
