Wonders, they say, shall never end. It was yet another wonderful display in Mount Zion Mission, Idong-Akpentun, Uquo, Esit Eket local government area as people allegedly took a coffin to the church, saying the church should park out of their father's land.
Our correspondent who visited the church yesterday saw the coffin openly displayed at the center of the uncompleted pastor's lodge of the church.
Speaking with our correspondent, the resident pastor of the church, Apostle A.D. Udoh said everybody was highly flabbergasted working up last Sunday morning to see the coffin in the premises.
Speaking further, the clergyman, who said has been stationed in the church for three years said the portion of the land was sold to the church by one Mr Okon William and some years ago and all document signed between him and the church.
According to him, ''there was no problem at all until when the church decided to erect structure for pastor's lodge in the portion that some members of the man (Mr Okon William) started confronting the church , saying nothing should be done in the land, claiming the land was sorely their father's property''.
The Man of God further stressed that the dispute was first taken to the Uquo Village Council and later to the Magistrate Court, Uquo where the court ordered that the church should secure another portion of land somewhere for the family.
Meanwhile, the pastor said the church has concluded arrangement to secure another plot of land for the family as ordered by the court until last Sunday when they brought the 'juju' coffin to the church premises insisting that the church should vacate the land.
According to the resident pastor, the attention of the village council was again drawn to witnessed the incident where the council, he said resolved that the people should evacuate the coffin from the church premises.
Meanwhile, efforts to reach out to the Village Head of Uquo, chief Johnson Mayor could not be reach as at press time as he was not in his palace when visited.
