Kolapo's saddening Shiloh 2012 experience
Kolapo recounted his terrible Shiloh experience in reaction to a lady's outcry about the alleged misogyny in Winners Chapel.
Kolapo, in a Facebook post, said one of the church's protocols insulted his father because of the route he took to access the church, leading to a physical exchange.
He claimed three protocol workers tried to beat him up, but failed, and that the matter ended up in the police station inside the church premises. Kolapo said he was talked down to like he was a nobody. He wrote:
"I understand the satire in the post but however, not all events or incidents are said in public.
"I hope the church does better and cancel this men sit in front bulls'hit.
"Cancelled the church since 2012 Shiloh after my encounter with the protocol when one of them insulted my dad over where we passed to access the church and it turned physical that 3 of them tried to beat me up and failed, issue ended up in the station inside the church premises and I was talked down like I was a Nobody - bad experience I tell you!"
