Breaking: Boko Haram and Minbar Ansar Deen group to be banned in UK

Membership of two extremist groups will become a criminal offence under planned changes to UK terror laws.

Pastor Tunde Bakare, who is the General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly has spoken against the suspension handed out to John and Love Kumuyi, over the wedding attire the bride wore.

“I personally did not see what they have done wrong. A man is entitled to his own authority in his own home.1st Peter Chapter 3. A wife should dress to please the husband and not the members of the church or public. It’s sheer wickedness to the couple, they should leave them to enjoy their honeymoon,” he said in a recent interview.

“They should not squeeze them to the modus operandi of a particular organization. I did not see anything wrong in the wedding. The bride was not naked or dressed inappropriately and the groom didn’t. Esther the queen was beautifully dressed in the bible to gain the king’s attention. They should not make mountain out of a molehill.

“I was in the Deeper Life Bible Church for five years and nobody compelled me to dress the way I dressed. My wife was with me in the church though we weren’t married then. She wears earrings and dresses nicely. All this talk about this couple should stop.”
