The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has launched a discreet investigation into the alleged assault of a cleric, Pastor Anthony Akasa, and his wife, Grace, during a service in Ughelli North, Delta State.
The incident, which involved uniformed members of the Royal Rangers, has sparked widespread outrage across social media.
The altercation reportedly stems from a leadership dispute and a bizarre witchcraft accusation against Mrs. Akasa after a powdery substance was found in the church vestry—a claim later debunked by the church cleaner.
Witnesses allege that the Royal Rangers, a paramilitary-style security unit, used tear gas and physical force against the couple following a disagreement over the pastor's tenure.
An NYCN executive stated that the council would not allow affiliate organizations to bring disgrace to the body.
Stakeholders are now calling for a peaceful resolution as the congregation remains divided over the cleric's leadership just four years before his retirement.
