Villagers in Nwagnele Local Government Area of Imo State, have set ablaze the First Step Christ Winner Church the General Overseer of the church has gone hiding following alleged attempt to kill her after preaching the love of Christ to all the sinners including the male homosexuals and female lesbians.
An eyewitness who did not want his name in print stated that trouble started since 2007 when the church was established by one female Pastor, who came to their community preaching the love of God to them.
The source said that since then she has continued spreading the gospel to the nook and crannies of their localities stating that the son of God died for the sinners which included homosexuals and lesbians.
He added that having closely monitored her, the villagers were startled to discover that she is allegedly one of the lesbians in the community. This discovery according to the eyewitness angered the people prompting them to set her church ablaze just as she scurried into hiding to escape lynching.
Efforts to reach the Pastor as at press time proved abortive as calls to her phone could not go through.
