From the look of things,the senior pastor of the Household of God church,Pastor Chris Okotie has a lot more to contend with than his recently failed marriage.According to reports, while the pastor was officiating Sunday's service, a former pianist with the church came in and disrupted the service, alleging he was owed for the service he rendered the church between 1991 and 2009 .
In a suit filed by the prosecutor,Inspector Samson Ekikere,
“He threatened the ministers in front of the congregation and disrupted the church service.
“Dafiagbor claimed that the church was owing him for the service he rendered as the pianist between 1995 and 2009.”
Ekikere said that the pianist claimed that he was supposed to be paid N20, 000 per fellowship, but did not provide further details.
The prosecutor also added that, the accused also threatened and insulted the General Overseer of the church, Pastor Chris Okotie, over the alleged unpaid allowances.
The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 166 (1), (d), 125 and 126 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State.
Magistrate Taiwo Akanni granted the defendant bail in the sum of N50, 000 with two sureties in like sum.
She adjourned the case to October 23 for further hearing.
The 40-year old defendant is facing a three-count charge of breach of public peace, assault and threats.
Dafiagbor, who gave his address as 6, Rudolf Close, Maitama, Abuja, however, pleaded not guilty.
But why did the defendant wait for 4 years before coming out in the open.I guess we have to watch and see what happens
