COVID-19: FCTA Enforcement team today arrested the General Overseer of Jesus Reign Family church located at Apo, Pastor U U Uden for violating ban on mass gathering.

He reportedly did not close the church service despite the presence of the team. The leader of the team was however civil enough to allow the service to end before he was arrested and taken to the FCT police command headquarters at Garki.

Perhaps his arrest will teach other churches a lesson to obey government directive in this era of covid-19.
