Church Bishop assaulted

Abundant Life Global Ministries' Bishop Danmore Magorimbo is seeking a peace order against the owner of the premises his church was renting whom he is accusing of hiring bouncers who allegedly assaulted him in October last year.

In his application filed at the Harare Civil Court, Magorimbo claimed Thomas Mutizhe hired the two bouncers who assaulted him in front of his wife and a man he only identified as Rubaya.

The pastor had to run and was seen by some of the office staff as he ran towards the city library across the road. In his opposing affidavit, Mutizhe denied the allegations levelled against him by Magorimbo.

He claimed he never attended the alleged meeting with two bouncers and never witnessed the applicant being assaulted.

Magistrate Ruth Kamangira ordered both parties to come to court on Monday for her ruling.
