The Brotherhood of the Cross and Star (BCS) has debunked reports of the organisation being enmeshed in crisis.
Speaking with Sunday Telegraph,BCS Spokesman and Patriarch Christ Shepherd, Amah Williams, said the “old video” which went viral on Saturday was to portray BCS in bad light, as there was peace in the fold coupled with the ongoing preparation for the ‘2024 Divine Manifestation of His Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu’ which starts on Monday, November 18.
Williams said the “disgruntled individuals” who withdrew membership from BCS and formed New Kingdom Ministry, wanted to still hold in position a property belonging to BCS.
He also said the alleged disruption video was recorded in Uyo and not at the World Headquarters in Calabar.
Williams partly stated: “Well, the truth is that that video is just sent out there by mischief makers.It’s not new. It’s something that happened a long time ago. I think on October 20.
“The land is under litigation, the land was allocated to us by the state government, and we paid… It was allocated to us, and we made payment. Then some disgruntled elements, some individuals who feel that they are no longer part of us, because they are not comfortable with the leadership of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
“Of course, they have the right to a form of expression and to also hold their opinion. They left and formed a new organisation they call New Kingdom Ministry. When they formed a new organisation, you know naturally that land belongs to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.You have left and you have gone to form a new organisation.
“Why do you still hold in position a property belonging to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star? I mean, even to a non-lawyer, you should know that that is not right in the eyes of the law. When we took possession of our land, they went to court…”
