Youths Beat Pastor To Coma For Refusing Masquerade Ritual In Church Premises

Chaos took the streets of a small town in Kogi State as youths beat up a pastor to coma for refusing to allow traditional masquerade rituals in the church.

Trouble started on Monday when the youths tried to make an entrance inside the Evangelical Church in the Iyano community under the Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi State.


Pastor Micheal, the local clergy in charge, denied them from entering the church, which angered the angry youths as they returned at night with weapons, with which they attacked the pastor while he was asleep.
