A little drama occurred as Reverend EMF Oshoffa was leaving the National Headquarters in Makoko, where he preached at the 64th harvest of the Archdiocese on Sunday.

As he made his way out through the front door at the entrance of the Church auditorium, members of the Church were attempting to catch a close glimpse, while others were trying to take pictures, thus there was pushing here and there, as a protective ring was formed around the Reverend.

In an attempt to take good pictures of EMF Oshoffa, a tall slim dark in complexion member with a single cross loin of the 'onigbode' (sidemen), who will be in his late twenties moved to the window of the front door next to the driver's seat and then proceeded to take pictures of the Reverend who was seated in the almost ash coloured SUV which brought him to the harvest.

As this young man comfortably takes his pictures while leaning on the SUV, then two voices came up (speaking in Yoruba) "You cannot touch 'Pastor' vehicle. It's the 'Pastor's vehicle and no one is expected to touch it" they spoke harshly.

The young 'onigbode' responded rudely and the younger of the two men rush towards him with the intention to take the phone from him.
With the help of a Policeman and some Church members, the two men were warned from any unnecessary hostility.

I remember the Policeman saying vividly that "you people don't know the value of your sutana."

I later found out that the two men who tried stopping the young man from taking his pictures were just ordinary members who were just too protective of their 'pastor'.

Then I said to them " 'Pastor' Emmanuel Oshoffa's don't know you, why fight for him and he won't like the idea of you fighting yourselves on his behalf."
