Well, If you're a woman and you're wearing trousers, here's a piece of word for you... Do not attempt to pass through The Mountain of Fire and Miracles
Ministries (MFM) Camp Ground in Magboro, on the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway, Ogun State.
Based on Punch Reports the church started a very 'strict enforcement' of its law against women putting on trousers and
passing through the camp ground this week.
Some women on their way to Ecobank in the Prayer City on Monday could account for their experiences in the hands of the security men at the main gate of the camp.
They went on wondering why the church must "humiliate" women, who were on their way to a “bank and not to the church auditorium. One of them (the women), who spoke to Punch correspondent on the condition of impersonality on Monday, said, “See the loose trousers that I’m putting on. How does this offend anybody? You can imagine the embarrassment that I was subjected to at the gate on my way here (bank).
“They asked why I must wear trousers to this place, as if I said I was going to the church auditorium. At least, they should have waited till I want to enter the church.”
When contacted, the Head of the
church Security, who gave his name to be Mr. Lanre, told Punch news that
the road in question was not an access route for the public, adding
that security challenges informed for the barricade.
“This so-called access road is illegal.
It's part of the church property. If we decided to block it, I don’t
think it's going to be anybody's business. Could you claim what does not belong to
you? They even went ahead to stage an informal protest.
Attacks on public places in the country have made it mandatory for
organisations to tighten up their security.
“We the church are not under obligation to share
our property with the communities. Regarding the question on the social
benefits the neighbouring residents derive from the church, I can’t
comment on that. But there are records of what we have done for them,”
he added.
Discussing on the women on trousers, Lanre further said the dress was not compatible with the doctrine of the church.
Saying, “Such women will be Prohibited from taking the road on the camp that links to the expressway.”
