The Christian Association of Nigeria has waded in the case of the fired Presiding Chaplain of the Chapel of Christ the Light, Venerable Femi Taiwo, PUNCH reports.
It was gathered that executive members of CAN, The African Church, the CCTL Governing Council, held a meeting on the Lagos Island over the incident yesterday, May 29.
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.
Recall 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, Taiwo got the sack, with an instruction to vacate his official quarters within 24 hours.
A source at the meeting said the matter had been handed over to the state chapter of CAN.
He said, “It was a meeting of the leadership of CAN. It was a peace meeting. Nobody is interested in creating unnecessary tension in the polity, especially at this time when Lagos is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
“We have decided to hand over the case to CAN to handle. The church is waiting for CAN to mediate and do the appropriate thing. We will not speculate. We have decided to trust them.”
