The ultramodern Borteyman Sports Complex has not been offered as a renting facility for church programs, the National Sports Authority (nsa) has said.
In a statement signed by the Venue Manager of the establishment, Mr. Majeed Bawa explained that the students who were captured in a video circulated on social media were on a tour of the facility.
He added that a Deputy Minister was scheduled to address the gathering on arrival at the premises.
“On the day of the visit, the facility had just hosted a two-day Badminton competition, and the equipment was still in place. The students entered the hall and sat down for the lecture from the Deputy Minister who had not yet arrived,” he recalled of events that morning.
He insisted that the banners in the video were those of the organizers who facilitated the tour.
“It is ,therefore, surprising and unfortunate that stories have emerged suggesting the facility was handed out for a Church program,” the statement read.
The release is a response to Multimedia Journalist, Fentuo Tahiru’s video post on X, formerly known as Twitter which captures people sitting in the complex with Christian-related events banners displayed around.
