The statement read in parts:
"Whoever claims to know the date is not only misleading the public but cannot claim to be a genuine Servant of God. He is at best, an agent of Satan pretending to be a Pastor.
“CAN, therefore, commends the Police for their prompt actions which included rescuing over 70 victims from the Church premises.
"They should further be subjected to medical checkups since nobody knows what they were going through where they were camped."
The Christain body further called on all dominations to keep an eye on the pastors under them towards ensuring wholesome biblical conduct while members of the public should always cross-check every teaching from the Bible before believing it.
