Sequel to a report of the sacking and subsequent eviction from the official quarters of the Chaplain of Christ the Light, Venerable Femi Taiwo in Alausa, the cleric has confirmed that he now has a new apartment and four others offered him by members of his congregation.
TheNewsGuru.com reports that Taiwo who was sacked without query, was ordered to exit his official quarters where he lived with his wife and two children within 24 hours.
Pleas from church leaders and elders failed to save the cleric, who still had two years to spend as the presiding chaplain.
Taiwo had allegedly angered the governor’s wife, Bolanle Ambode, who had visited the chapel on Sunday, May 14, when the church held an anointing service.
Taiwo told Punch that he got five offers of apartment from different members of the African church congregation.
A source disclosed that church members who were angered and touched by the way the priest was treated decided to help the cleric and his family.
“Apart from the apartment he moved to, he got four offers of apartment from different members of the African church congregation,” the source said.
In reaction to the incident, TheNewsGuru.com reports that Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Friday ordered that the thanksgiving service (scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday) for the state’s 50th anniversary be moved from the chapel to the Banquet Hall of Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja.
