“The members were not conducting any services following the government’s directive. The five were part of the church’s administration who were consolidating tithes and offerings from members in basins when the officers came in,I was in my house in the church compound when I heard a commotion and went out to check. The officers threatened to arrest me when I asked why they were harassing people inside the church” Pastor  said.
