Kayole residents clashed with a group of pastors after they preached that Jesus was a black man.
The pastors, members of the Israel United in Christ Church, were dressed in purple T-shirts bearing their church’s logo as they spread their message.
However, their words angered some members of the community, who are used to the belief that Jesus was white.
The situation quickly escalated as some residents started shouting at the preachers, expressing their disagreement.
Tensions rose further, leading to physical altercations. One of the American pastors was hit in the face with a stone, while others were pushed and roughed up by the growing crowd.
Eyewitnesses said the preachers tried to defend themselves as the angry mob closed in.
One of the pastors explained that their message was about reminding people of their value, telling them they were children of Israel and that Jesus was black. However, the statement did not sit well with some of the locals, leading to chaos.
Despite the violent response, the pastors maintained that their mission was to spread what they believe to be the truth.
Meanwhile, residents were left divided on the issue, with some supporting the preachers and others insisting that their message was provocative.
Authorities have yet to comment on the incident, but the attack has sparked discussions on religious beliefs and racial perceptions of Jesus.
