A young lady has taken to social media to share her experience after being denied entry to a church for an important event because of her outfit. The video she posted shows how she handled the situation and eventually entered the church premises.
Church Denies Entry Over Outfit
The lady, identified as @mariam_oyakhilome on TikTok, recorded a video explaining that she wore trousers to a church and was not allowed in. In the clip, she complained that the denial spoiled her fashion plan but remained calm and composed.
She showed her outfit, which included trousers, and then revealed how a friend brought her a wrapper. She used the wrapper to cover herself before walking into the church. In the video, she said: 'Hey guys, they got me a wrapper. I'm not missing my home boy's church service for anything. Jesus, they spoiled my steeze.'
