On Sunday, February 7, 1982, during a church service at the Lord is my Shepherd Church, a shocking incident unfolded. In a confrontation with church members, Maj Darko discharged his weapon, seriously injuring a policewoman who was attending the church service. Simultaneously, a radio announcement was made, urging Odiyifo and all church members to surrender either to the police or military authorities. The soldiers descended on the Lord is my Shepherd Church, setting it ablaze and firing their weapons indiscriminately. Furthermore, the soldiers looted, seized, destroyed, and burned properties belonging to the church, its members, landlords, landladies of church members, co-tenants, and neighbours.
