From Central Africa-ANGLICAN Church of the Province of Central Africa members' bid to repossess property under the custody of Bishop Elson Jakazi, hit a snag on Tuesday morning.
Police intervened and asked them to have the necessary court documents before moving in.
Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Enock Chishiri, confirmed police intervention and said a group of about 100 people led by the church's diocesan secretary, Reverend Luke Chigwanda, Rev Joseph Chipundla, Rev Kingston Nyazika and a church warden Gashirai Puwai went to St John's Cathedral and offices along Herbert Chitepo Street on Tuesday with the intention of occupying them and found all doors locked.
"We understand that the group wanted to have a meeting with Bishop Jakazi over a court order which he was served with on November 24 for him to move out of the offices. The church and offices were locked, but information reached Bishop Jakazi to the effect that people from the other group had stormed the church offices. Bishop Jakazi made a report to the police who went to the church offices to monitor the situation. They invited the church members to Mutare Central Police Station where they advised them to follow the legal channel to have Bishop Jakazi evicted.
“They were advised to seek the assistance of the messenger of court and they promised to follow the legal route in solving the wrangle," said Insp Chishiri.
