Pastor Femi Lazarus, the founder of Light Nation Church, has sparked widespread reactions online after a video surfaced showing him sending a drummer out of the church for allegedly disrupting his ministration.
During a recent church service, the man of God appeared visibly frustrated after the drummer played a beat that seemingly distracted him while he was ministering. Unable to ignore the disruption, Pastor Femi Lazarus paused his ministration and publicly called out the drummer.
In the viral clip, Pastor Femi Lazarus can be seen gesturing towards the musician, instructing him to vacate the church altar where the musical instruments were set up.
Speaking in a stern tone, he addressed the drummer, saying:
“Stop that. Get off from here. Leave that place.”

@Sir Mhayour said: “Why didn’t y’all tell Jesus to go apologize to those selling and buying at the temple? There’s a better way to handle the issue. There is something called submission in spirituality.”
@iamkingdomboi🇳🇬🌴 said: “It’s obvious the MD cued them in. There’s a better way to say ‘stop the music’ without embarrassing the drummer. But since it’s AFL now, his wrong is being excused, lol.”
@Micheal Tochukwu said: “Sometimes my pastor doesn’t like us playing when he is doing some certain spiritual things, but he doesn’t speak in that manner. Instead, he just says ‘thank you instrumentalists,’ and we know to stop.”
@Sinach said: “I am a drummer. I understand what the drummer there was trying to do. There are sounds to make during a prophetic session, but the drummer made the wrong sound. A mild crash of cymbals would have been better.”
@Owen🧸 said: “Nah! This is wrong tho… a full-grown man.”
