But one Mrs Peace, a leader in the welfare unit of the church, who responded to the judgment on Friday, said:

“I know my pastor. He will overcome. “He has been a staunch attacker of this government, and they are victimising him. Our God is not asleep. In this month of our fasting, we will not stop praying for him even while in captivity.”

In a tweet after the judgment, Peace said:

“All because he gave a prophecy that did not go down well in the eyes of the Tinubu APC govt (sic). Make una continue.”

Another member of the church, identified as Ikokwu Chidozie Ikemba, in a tweet on his handle @IkeokwuChidozie, tweeted:

“There is a war against the church, and it’s coming from the inside.”
