What triggered the confrontation

The situation escalated when a fire service truck needed to drive out of the premises. Security officials then asked those who had parked their vehicles near the exit to move, which prompted pushback from at least one attendee.

That individual refused to shift his car from the venue of the cleric's camp and reportedly dared those filming the incident to continue recording him, insisting he was not going anywhere.

Here is the Instagram video of the clash between church members and security operatives below:
