A Nigerian pastor has reportedly ordered church members to kneel at the entrance as punishment for arriving late to a service. The claim went viral after a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, sparked widespread online reactions.
The post included a video showing several individuals kneeling outside a building that appeared to be a church. The caption read, “I saw these people kneeling at their church entrance because they were late for church.”
Social media users flooded the comments with mixed reactions, with some condemning the action and others questioning the context of the video.
