Actor Charles Born recounts embarrassing moment in Abuja church over his outfit

Nigerian actor Charles Born has recounted his experience at Celebration Church in Abuja after he was allegedly asked to change seats during a service because of his outfit.

In a video shared online, the actor said he attended the church’s second service on Sunday, October 18, but was left embarrassed after a man approached him during the service and asked him to move to another row.

According to him, the man initially suggested the seat might be reserved, then added that there could be an issue with how he was dressed.

Born, who wore trousers, sandals and a vest, said he was confused by the request, especially as an usher had directed him to the seat.

He explained that he preferred sitting by the aisle so he had enough room to move freely during worship and prayers. However, following the exchange, he decided to leave the service.

The actor expressed disappointment over the experience, questioning why someone should feel unwelcome in a church because of their appearance.

He argued that churches should welcome everyone seeking to worship, regardless of how they dress, and said the incident left him shocked and embarrassed.
