In a bid to relocate the place of worship, the children’s section has been closed, according to Daily Times.

“The children’s church has been turned into a store. As a result of the unforeseen development, we had to collapse some facilities to accommodate the children and keep our worship going,” an official of the church, who chose to remain anonymous, said.

“That was why the Chaplain said that the church had not been shut but ‘we only had some procedural issues that needed to be sorted out’,” the source added.
