Tension Rocks Dunamis Church as #IStandwith­Buhari Group Confronts Sowore

In Abuja

- Olawale Ajimotokan

There was palpable tension yesterday at the Dunamis Internatio­nal Gospel Centre in Abuja when a pro-Buhari group under the auspices of Abuja Grassroots Project (AGP) prevented the planned picketing of the church by Omoyele Sowore #Revolution­Now.

The members of the group clad in t-shirts and face caps with the inscriptio­n, #IStandwith­Buhari, laid siege to the entrance of the church to prevent the Sowore group from carrying out their protest over last week arrest of 10 Buhari-Must-Go activists at the church.

The group Coordinato­r, Yunusa Yusuf, said they got reliable informatio­n that Sowore would lead his followers to stage a protest at the church.

The atmosphere around the church located on the Abuja Internatio­nal Airport Road was tensed with heavy presence of security operatives from all the forces to nip any breakdown of law and order in the bud.

Yusuf insisted that the church of God must prevail against every evil plan, no matter how highly placed the person is.
