A Nigerian pastor has sparked controversy after reportedly ordering church members who arrived late for service to kneel at the entrance as punishment.
The claim emerged from a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), which has since generated widespread reactions online.
In the accompanying video, several individuals can be seen kneeling outside what appears to be a church building. The post’s caption read: **“I saw these people kneeling at their church entrance because they were late for church."
As the footage circulated on social media, many users took to the comment section to express their opinions, with some questioning the practice while others defended it as a means of instilling discipline among congregants.
The incident has reignited discussions on religious leadership and the balance between discipline and compassion within places of worship.
