On Tuesday, supporters of Pastor Harrison Anazodo, the General Overseer of Dayspring Assembly in Awada-Obosi, Anambra State, allegedly attacked journalists and cameramen in the Anambra State High Court, Awka. The men tried to prevent journalists from capturing Anazodo, who is accused of allegedly promoting wealth accumulation through supernatural means and orchestrating the separation of women from their husbands to serve as concubines.
The court proceedings were disrupted when supporters shielded Anazodo with umbrellas and their hands, causing three journalists' phones to be damaged. The Anambra State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Tobechukwu Nweke, SAN, condemned the incident, emphasizing the importance of the press's role and the need to respect journalists.
The court accepted the defendant's apology, ordered the replacement of damaged gadgets, and appealed to the government to let the matter rest.
