Nigerian street pastor has landed himself
in jail after getting arrested for disturbing
public disturbance at Southgate station,
London on February 23.
The yet-to-be identified man was seen
preaching the gospel to strangers and it
attracted the attention of the police.
When asked to leave by the police, he
attempted to preach salvation to the
officers of the law.
The preacher refused to leave when he
was asked and stated that he will not be
leaving as he had to tell people the truth
about Jesus. The officer then threatened
to arrest him and it did not deter the
preacher from still trying to preach the
word.
He was later whisked away by two
police officers who clearly ran out of
patience. The street pastor appeared to
be willingly cooperating with the
officers but got slightly offended when
his bible was taken from him.

Meanwhile, an internet user, Philip
Emmanuel, has recounted an encounter
he and some other passengers in a bus
had with a mobile pastor while
travelling.
According to him, the pastor prayed
vigorously for over two hours while
waiting for the passengers to drop
offering money. He said the bus took off
from Egbu in Owerri and even when
they got to Okija in Anambra, he was
still praying but none of the passengers
dropped any money.
