Trending videos of the alleged gathering, dubbed “Pneumatica Night” showed a mostly unmasked crowd, screaming, chanting and dancing to the “evangelism” of their unmasked preachers.

Police condemned the action saying it puts “the entire country at risk of spreading COVID-19.”

“The Police did not provide security for the said event. In fact, the organisers did not give notice of the event to any Police Officer or Station. The event, advertised as a Church Service which ordinarily did not require notice under the Public Order Act, was organized at the blind side of the Police.”
