Pastor Destiny Eguavoen, the General Overseer (GO) of the City of God Rest Ministry, was on Sunday beaten up by youths of Urora, a town in Edo State, for flouting the community’s order to stop church service before 8 am because of the annual Ikpoleki festival.
The Chief Priest of the community, Chief Ugiagbe Aiwaguore, issued an order for residents to stay indoors during the festival.
All churches were asked to end their Sunday service before 8 am, but Pastor Eguavoen flouted the order, prompting the youths to storm his church and attack him.
