5 BISHOPS BANNED FROM OFFICIATING IN NIGER DELTA FOR COMMITTING “A SACRILEGIOUS ACT”

Pentecostal Bishops in the Niger Delta has banned five of its members from officiating in any bishopric gathering in the Niger Delta.

Explaining the reason for the decision in a statement signed by the acting National Secretary of the organisation, Bishop David Benedict, the organisation said the unnamed bishops committed a sacrilegious act when, in company of seven other clerics from the region, indulged in alleged disgraceful act “without minding their highly exalted position in Christendom”.
The organisation also commended the National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, and the South-south Chairman, Arch-Bishop God-dowell Avwormakpa, for suspending the bishops.
The group called for peace between Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi and President Goodluck Jonathan.
