Presidency denies closure of Aso Rock Church.

Saturday 5 September 2015

The Presidency has denied a report by online media house claiming that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the closure of the Aso Rock Villa chapel on Sunday. President Muhammadu Buhari has moved against Christian religious activities within the precincts of the Aso Rock presidential villa, several reports recently claimed.

The Aso Rock Villa Chapel serves as the official church of Aso Rock where Christian activities inside the presidential villa are conducted. According to reports, heavily armed men stormed the Aso Rock Chapel on Sunday, August 30, 2015 denying worshipers access to the church.

“Normally, services begin by 7am at the church. But when we got there, we met armed security men who said we cannot enter. They said they were acting on orders from above. We waited outside till a few minutes past 8am before they allowed us to enter,” the source disclosed.

A visibly embarrassed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who worships at the Villa Church, arrived the Chapel and could be seen managing to conceal a worried expression over the incident.
