Christian Association of Nigeria has taken over the case of the sacked Presiding Chaplain of the Chapel of Christ the Light, Venerable Femi Taiwo, PUNCH reports.

PUNCH Metro gathered that executive members of CAN, The African Church, the CCTL Governing Council, held a meeting on the Lagos Island over the incident on Monday.

Although participants at the meeting kept silent on how the event played out, it was gathered that the Christian leaders resolved to hand over the case to CAN at the state level.


A source at the meeting told PUNCH that the matter had been handed over to the state chapter of CAN.

Recall that Mrs. Bolanle, the wife of the state Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, had attended an anointing service at the chapel on May 14, 2017.

She was reported to have become angry that she was not called first to be anointed and stormed out despite entreaties from the women leaders in the church, the following day, Venerable Taiwo got the sack, with an instruction to vacate his official quarters within 24 hours.
