The priest
of a deity called Onura in Eleme (L.G.A) of Rivers State, demands the sum of
two hundred thousand Naira (N200,000) from the Calvary Anglican Church also in
Eleme (L.G.A)
The juju priest, Chief Obele Osarokote claims that the land which the Church was built on belongs to his deity.
The
Reverend, on behalf of the Church defended, saying that the land was bought from the
Families of Oluji Ndo and Okereke Oluka Ogbara all from the same Eleme community. The juju priest said that the
Church destroyed the abode of his deity without due regard and built a Church upon it.
The Reverend in his statement said, that while the land was abandoned and believed by the
Community to be evil, the Calvary Anglican Church decided to
eliminate the darkness and stop the Community from their evil belief on the
land.
The juju
priest quoted to the Church that they should "give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar".
On behalf of the Calvary Anglican Church, Rev Steve Enuani said there is no way the Church can
condescend so low to go and pacify the shrine, thereby urging the members of
the Calvary Anglican Church not to live by fear, but should believe in God
that the battle is of the Lord for their victory.
