He narrated that during service, defendant Wolobah went on the pulpit and announced that he (Gargannah) is an assistant pastor while referring to defendant Aggrey as the senior pastor. Pastor Gargannah explained that while they were tussling over the microphone, defendant Aggrey left the congregation and punched him in the right ear. According to him, the situation was reported but defendant Aggrey refused to attend any of the meetings to resolve the leadership crises. Magistrate Kamara said he could not hold the church clergies on theft and felonious restraint because state prosecutors failed to provide evidence. He ruled that the defendants were not guilty of felonious restraint and theft of property but were guilty of simple assault.
