As the clergy and members of the Anglican Church in
Anambra State continue their protest over the demolition of Ebenezer Anglican
Church in Oyolu-Oze, Nkwellle–Ezunaka, near Onitsha, members of Knights of St.
Christopher in the Church of Nigeria, have joined in the call for the state
Governor, Willie Obiano to direct security agencies to fish out those behind
the act. Addressing the knights, lady knights as well as the members of the
church after praying for divine intervention in the matter, the President of
the Knights of St. Christopher, Dr. Ike Okonkwo, said it was unimaginable that
such hooliganism could be perpetrated against a church in Anambra State,
considered a prime Christian state. He wondered how a group of armed people,
allegedly including law enforcement agents, could destroy a church at 1a.m. and
up to date, the state government and the security agencies in the
state could not fish them out. In his speech, the Chancellor of the Diocese on
the Niger, Chief Nnamdi Ibegbu (SAN), said the place in question was given to
the church by Oze village, who are predominantly Anglicans and it had been
gazetted by the state government, while the process of obtaining the
Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) was in progress.
