 Some of the placards held by protesters read ‘We are watching you,’ ‘Your Pastor is not your God,’ ‘Thou shall not rape’ and ‘No to sexual abuse in my church’ among others with the hashtag ‘#ChurchToo.’

In similar vein, a group had a counter-protest bearing inscriptions saying that the pastor should be left alone

COZA members formed a human barricade with linked arms about 150 metres from the church auditorium in Guzape, Abuja.

Aside from the linked protocol officers of the church, there were scores of agents of the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services.
