“After a heavy downpour recently, the billboard collapsed and some of his church members including some pastors came for it without finding out whether the billboard destroyed our goods or injured someone so we questioned them why they didn’t ask us anything before coming for the billboard,” they said
“The next day Angel Obinim came to the market with his bodyguards to search for his billboard. He came here with anger and started shouting at us. He threatened us told us over the billboard and I also told him he can’t take the law into his hands” one of the traders disclosed
