NGThe Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Prof. Offiong Offiong, has once again barred worshippers from the University of Calabar Chapel of Redemption despite a Federal High Court injunction prohibiting such interference. The court had previously issued and upheld the injunction on August 4 and August 20, with the case set for further review on September 2. University security personnel enforced the ban, directing worshippers to hold their service on a nearby street after being expelled from the campus. This follows a previous incident on August 16 when worshippers were similarly denied access and held an open-air service. The vice-chancellor had also removed the chapel’s chaplain, Rev. Joseph Ushie, and dissolved the church council, appointing a caretaker committee. The church leadership claims the court’s injunction is meant to protect their right to worship while the legal dispute is resolved.
