Priests of the Anglican Communion, all dressed in their priestly robes and numbering about 200 have blocked the Anambra State Government House in protest.
Anaedooline gathered that the protest was over the alleged seizure of a primary school; Bishop Crowder Primary School in Onitsha by their Catholic counterpart which the Anglicans claim belonged to them.
Our correspondent gathered that the church was accusing Governor Willie Obiano, who is a Catholic of aiding his denomination in the seizure of the property.
The priests who were singing different versions of their hymns carried placards of different inscriptions.

Some of the placards read, ” Willie Obiano leave our property for us,”Governor Obiano give us back our land and school”, “Religious politics in Anambra has no end”, “Bishop Crowder memorial primary school Onitsha belongs to Anglican Church”, “Bishop crowder is not government’s property”.
The protesting priests vowed not to vacate the place until the Governor addressed them.
