Driven by money and trappings of power, church leaders have found themselves at the forefront of inter-sect wars that threaten to bring down the walls around the body of Christ.

Several churches in the country are embroiled in leadership wrangles that have sparked physical fights, courtroom drama and unprecedented mudslinging among parishioners, mostly for control of the organisations.
