Drama enshrined as a popular Pastor identified as Matthew was beaten by group of prostitute in Golden Hotel in Ejigbo area of Lagos State.
According to a witness identified as Okwudili Theresa, the problem started when the pastor stood close to Golden hotel Ejigbo, and began preaching to the women of easy virtues and their male clients to forsake their sinful ways and turn to God for deliverance and salvation.
The pastor’s constant utterances on women that are indulging in promiscuous life, aggravated the commercial sex workers to pounce on him after Hannah who is said to be one of the sex workers angrily attacked the pastor while others follow suit.
“She angrily brought out a bucket of water and poured the man of God. As he was still trying to figure out what was going on, another prostitute advanced towards him and started pushing him away. He was almost pushed to the gutter if not for the timely intervention of passers-by,” Theresa said.
Another eye witness Uchenna Kingsley further maintained that the pastor overstepped his boundaries, as he would always preach close to the brothel,
“That was not the first day he was preaching at that place. But he didn’t use to get so close to the brothel premises as he did on this occasion. To me, I believe he overstepped his boundary because he knew the place was an unholy zone; he should have treaded more carefully”, he said.
Kingsley further postulated that, most times if not all the time, he uses the Bible verse, 1 Corinthian 6:18-20 which talks about fleeing from formication anytime he peaches
Meanwhile, the pastor did not make any attempt to fight the sex workers whom he described as “daughters of Jezebel” rather, it was observed that the Pastor after gaining consciousness in his soaked wears, picked up his Bible from the ground where it fell and walked away very sad without much counter words from him.
