A load of worshipers are trooping to the convention ground of Holy Ghost Fire Apostolic Church, Ogunse Estate, Sagamu Road, Ikorodu, Lagos, to catch a glimpse of a reported image of ‘Jesus Christ’ on one of the church’s walls.
According to the report by Vanguard, a wall of a building under construction in the Church was wet, and some people perceived an image on it as that of Jesus Christ, attracting worshippers and curious people.
The report claimed that the stained wall was first noticed over the weekend, by an artisan, who screamed and abruptly stopped the day’s work, claiming he had seen Jesus Christ.
The news spread into the neighbourhood and people began to troop into the place.
The report has it that the scene has been attracting over 400 worshippers daily, but added that yesterday’s crowd was much compared with previous days.
Worshippers and residents of the area visited the Church individually and in groups, praying and singing to God, while some transporters seized the opportunity to hike their fares.
The worshippers were seen dropping sachets and bottles of water by the wall, while others knelt down or touched the image praying aloud.
The construction work at the Church has also been put on hold due to the number of pilgrims turning up to catch a glimpse of the image. (Daily Post)
Naijans my people, why all these primitiveness? The last time such happened was that Allah was seen written on a wall in Bauchi and Muslims went there to say their prayers. I thought that members of the other faith would be more thoughtful- I am wrong. The reporter is no different, instead of reporting the ruse he chose to build his story on what he was told. Why would a news reporter not enlighten people but appear to be more primitive than the people he is reporting?
