However, when the preacher began to speak, the smoke from the tear gas made the believers panic.
Did the Police tear gas in the PEFA church?
The fighting started after police officers fired tear gas into the church and filled it with smoke.
The congregation shouted as they rushed out of the hall. As the smoke increased, they were seen covering their noses to avoid inhaling the burning smoke.
“Woo, you man, please move,” one congregant was heard saying, perhaps trying to get someone standing in front of him to move.
Just when they thought things couldn't get any worse, the lights started flashing, causing more panic among the faithful.
“Whoa, Jesus! Jesus! Can we go back?” the believers were heard shouting one by one.
A woman was heard shouting for help from her fellow believers to help her get out of the hall.
At the time of this publication, it was still unclear why the police fired tear gas at the worshipers in the church.
