Breaking: Sowore, Adeyanju Meet Pastor Enenche Over The Arrest Of Five Activists Wearing #BuhariMustGo  T. Shirts 

The human rights activists, Omoyele Sowore and  Deji Adeyanju  have met the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr.Paul Enenche over the arrest of the five activists at the church premises for wearing #BuhariMustGo Tshirts  on Sunday. 

The activists arrived the church around 3:00pm alongside  their lawyer , Barrister Abubakar Marshal and had a close door meeting with the pastor where it was  confirmed that the arrest was made by operatives  of Department of State Service ( DSS ) but not the church security officials . 

Addressing journalists after meeting  outside the church premises  Adeyanju explained  that the church have no hand in the entire incident  that happened adding that the pastor informed them that he had taken steps as at 7:00am to ensure that the activists were released. 

He said the pastor confirmed  that the activists commited no crime and that he has reached out to the DSS authority  regarding the matter. 

According to Deji  ” There is something  the pastor said which i must reemphasis here that the reason why they did not like the fact that the activists came and were making the noise here  that he doesn’t want this thing to be misconstrued that it is the church that is sponsorsoring the protest . 

While making clarification on the matter Sowore said the pastor denied the claims by some persons that the activists were trying to disrupt the church service. 

He said the pastor confirmed to them that he personally saw  them when they came out for altar call that he was  even excited  seeing them and that the claim  was not true. 

Sowore said ” They came here and it is their right , I wore my own T Shirt to meet with him today my #BuhariMustGo T. Shirt . So there is nobody who can  tell you what to wear to church or to wear to school except  the school that have uniforms. 

” But we are adults  and if we are tired of the system and we say the system must collapse it is our right to express ourselves freely.  I told the pastor when he said he was not happy when the activists were trying to protest within the premises that with the way things are going on more and more people will be wearing  #BuhariMustGo  T. Shirts to the church because people are tired of Buharii regime. 

” We have a respectable agreement  and some disagreement over this issue but what is important to me and why I don’t  want to drag this for too long is the release of these individuals from detention . 

“We are going to wait till evening  because  we requested that they should  be released  today  ( Monday ) .  Nobody  knows their whereabouts . We don’t  know whether they have been fed or they have been tortured. 

“Meanwhile there was a mild drama at the gate of the church when the activists were granting press interview when some overzealous policemen challenged them and pointed guns at the journalists who were conducting the interview. 

The situation led to heated arguments as gum wielding operatives insisted to know their mission for granting Interviews at the gate. 

The confusion which lasted for few minutes was brought under control when the activists maintained their ground that they have not violated any law with their action .

NOTE: The whereabouts of the five activists are still unknown and they have not been released as at the time of sending this update out!
