An angry mob in Abuja has reportedly beaten up one of the Bishops who came for the unveiling of Senator Kashim Shettima as Bola Tinubu’s running mate in the 2023 presidential elections.
Reports stated the supposed Bishop was caught preaching at a market in Abuja.
Newsmen further announced that a viral video on social media showed a man with a replica feature of one of the Bishops that attended the APC vice presidential candidate’s unveiling.
It also confirmed that some angry mob was seen dragging the man and chanting “Fake bishop”, “This is one of the so-called bishops Tinubu used.”
Again, confirming the preacher’s face, a Facebook user, Sunday Wale Adeniran, in his post noted that the look-alike of the alleged fake bishop goes by the name of “Rev Chika” who hails from Agulu in Anambra State.
“Today at Dei-Dei building materials market in Abuja, this clergyman was molested and beaten when they identified him as one of the clergymen who attended the unveiling of Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate. His name is Rev Chika. He hails from Agulu in Anambra state,” Adeniran.
Recall that Bishops at Shettima’s unveiling caused outrage amongst Nigerians as many accused the APC of fake Bishops to the ceremony to succeed the Muslim-Muslim ticket agenda.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in the heat of the controversy confirmed that the Bishops that were paraded at the unveiling of Kashim Shettima were fake.
The association argued that the Bishops were hired by the APC just to ensure the acceptance of the Muslim-Muslim ticket projected by the APC.
Also, the FCT Police Command promised to investigate the matter when contacted.
