want God to forgive me.”

Ezeani Quarters in Asaba, conducts prayer
session every Saturday morning.
An eyewitness, Faith Nwokorie said the man

to different directions, though the pastors and
few worshipers remained calm.
A senior pastor of the church, Chukas Okorie,
said, “God is doing wonderful things this year
2016; the man is insane but as we were praying
he walked into the church hall and asked God for
forgiveness. I tried to lay hands on him but he
pulled my hands off the body and moved out of
the church hall causing a scene among the
worshippers.

Patrick College, Asaba.
