WATCH How Masquerades Gang Beat Pastor To Coma; What He Did To Them Will SURPRISE You [Video]
In a disturbing turn of events, Pastor Michael Samson of the United Evangelical Church in Iyano community, Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi State, fell victim to a brutal assault by a group of enraged youths. The incident, which left the clergyman in a coma, stemmed from a clash of beliefs and rituals.
According to reports, trouble ensued when Pastor Samson intervened to prevent the youths from conducting a ritual involving a Masquerade within the premises of the church. Earlier in the day, he had denied them access to the church grounds for their ceremony, citing the sanctity of the space as inappropriate for such practices.
Infuriated by the pastor’ s interference, the youths, armed with weapons, returned under the cover of night to retaliate against him while he slept. Their attack left Pastor Samson critically injured, and he was rushed to the Idah General Hospital for medical attention, where he is currently receiving treatment.
A reliable source revealed that the assailants sought to perform rituals dedicated to the local deity known as ” Ane” in Igala land. However, Pastor Samson staunchly opposed the desecration of the church, emphasizing that it was a sacred place dedicated to God and unsuitable for their intended ceremonies.
The situation escalated when the youths, undeterred by the pastor’ s admonition, launched a violent assault, leaving him incapacitated. Witnesses reported that the attackers, numbering around twenty individuals, wielded dangerous objects during the assault, underscoring the severity of the incident.
