Separatist fighters ban the PCC in the entire Bali, and as a result, the PCC moderator Rev Fonki Samuel cast aside poor Bali Christians to their fate, orders his pastors to leave Bali, and insists the church finances will not be affected even if all churches in Bali are closed. This happened on Sunday, September 4th, 2021 in Douala after separatist fighters banned the PCC in the entire Bali until he resigns. Remember Bali was the headquarters of the Basel Mission in Cameroon and after their departure, Cameroonians birth the PCC. This will be a huge loss if carried out.
Ambazonian forces in Bali Nyonga, Mezam division in the North West region say they have banned the Presbyterian Church from functioning in the municipality. In a 5 minutes 22 seconds audio released by the commander of a separatist group, the “Buffaloes of Nyonga”, popularly called Grand Pa, the reason for the ban is due to the inability of the Moderator of the PCC, Rt. Rev Fonki Samuel, to condemn government forces in the August 22, 2021 shooting that killed one Christian, Madam Grace Titalabit, of PC Ntoanfang in Bali. The fighters accuse the moderator of colluding with the government and his inability to state that church members were attacked by government forces in his press release.
The Moderator’s statement on Monday, August 23, 2021, was received with mixed feelings and a backlash. While many recounted how the Catholic church has always called a spade by its name, they think that the Moderator was playing politics instead of naming the shooters which caused the Separatist Fighters to ban the PCC in the entire Bali. The government had blamed the August attack inside the church which killed Christina and got the pastor seriously wounded on separatist fighters. While separatist fighters and local videos from church members say the attack was carried out by government forces.
Critics have chastised the controversial PCC boss, saying he cares more about money than winning souls for Christ. Many now wonder what will be the fate of Christians once the churches are closed since Separatist Fighters Bans the PCC in the entire Bali.
