A dramatic and disturbing incident unfolded on Sunday, July 14, 2024, at the Winners Chapel church in Auchi, Edo State, as a heated altercation broke out between security personnel and a young member of the congregation.

The confrontation allegedly erupted as the individual attempted to leave the church (winners chapel) premises at the conclusion of the service.

A disturbing video captured the intense scene, showing the security team physically assaulting the young man, repeatedly slapping him as they forcibly pushed him out of the church gates.

The violent altercation reportedly lasted for over 30 minutes, causing a commotion that drew the attention of other church members and passersby.
