From Nigeria-The Anambra Government, on Friday, banned religious bodies from using either public schools or its facilities, to conduct religious services across the state.
The state Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr Don Adinuba, announced the ban in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Onitsha.
Adinuba
said the ban became imperative because of the ongoing seeming ownership
tussle of Bishop Crowder Memorial School, Onitsha, being contested
between the state and the Diocese on the Niger, Anglican Communion.
NAN recalls that the Church, through its legal Secretary, Mr Tabugbo Anaeto, is laying ownership of the school.
NAN
further reports that members of the Anglican Church recently staged a
peaceful protest and subsequently released a statement, accusing the
state government of its alleged refusal from allowing it to assume
ownership of its property.
