There was commotion yesterday at Issah Amujegye in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State when policemen stormed a church in search of a suspect linked with the attack on the Emir of Jere, Dr. Sa’ad Usman.
Worshippers scampered for safety when the policemen came in and disrupted the service.
But the Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Adenaike, said his men did not disrupt the service.
It was gathered that some angry worshippers seized one of the policemen and handed him over to soldiers patrolling the Kaduna-Abuja road.
The resident pastor, Rev. Ibrahim John Ejims, said: “Yesterday at around 9am, I was on the altar when suddenly, armed policemen stormed my church and disrupted our service.
“They claimed they were looking for one of my member, in connection with an attack on an emir on January 3.
“They scared the members, caused commotion and disrupted the service.
“Members fled because of the confusion, which followed. It is unfortunate that policemen can behave in this manner.”
Ejims said he had reported the matter to his superiors at the District Church Council (DCC) level.
But Adenaike said he was not aware that his men disrupted the service.
The police chief said the suspect jumped out through the window.
He said the police went after the suspect.
“One of my men was seized by the worshippers; he has since been released. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
