Sanwoolu Honours Chaplain Sacked By Ex-Governor Ambode After Confrontation With His Wife

Yesterday, the Lagos State Government honoured a former presiding Chaplain of Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, Ikeja, Venerable Femi Taiwo.

This is coming two years and six months after the priest and his family were sent packing from the church by former Governor Ambode. The new Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu's administration, through the Ministry of Home Affairs and Culture, has however thought it wise to placate and honour Taiwo.

The special service, which held for about 30 minutes, was kept under wraps, as many church members were not informed.

It would be recalled that In May 2017, Taiwo, his wife and their two children were evicted from the vicarage after being given a 24-hour notice to quit.

Church members contributed money to buy cooking utensils for the family, even as a new accommodation was sought for them.

Taiwo had been accused of not according Bolanle, wife of then-governor Akinwunmi Ambode, preference and recognition during an anointing service.

Bolanle, with her entourage, was reported to have stormed out of the Sunday service in a fit of rage. Shortly after they left, the priest was served a dismissal letter by the chapel’s governing council.

The incident had generated outrage from Nigerians, who criticised the former governor and his wife for humiliating the chaplain.
