This Christ Anglican Church Emudo Nenwe Pastor/Rev Father is a thief and needs to be arrested asap. I can’t believe someone can be this insensitive and heartless. The whole world is bleeding right now, fighting the COVID19 and some pulpit bandit wanna take advantage of it. The FG temporarily banned every social gathering, and all this thief could do is this.
