After the Sunday tragedy at the Synagogue Church of All Nations in Accra, Ghana, the Police on Tuesday ordered the Church to stop hosting worship sessions at its Spintex Road venue.
According to reports, the Ghanaian police ordered the church, owned by Nigerian pastor, T.B. Joshua to relocate to a more convenient venue.
Accra Regional Police Commander, Mr Christian Yehonu, said in a statement that the recent tragedy in the church could have been avoided if the church had been located at a bigger worship centre.
A stampede occurred at the church premises on Sunday leading to the death of four persons while several others were injured.
The Ghanaian media had reported that the stampede occurred when worshippers rushed to collect `anointed water’ given to members of the church during the worship.
