The Development Control Authority (DCA) has issued an immediate halt to the construction of a towering statue at Glorious Hope Ministries, escalating the ongoing debate surrounding the monument. The DCA has demanded that the church provide evidence of proper authorization for the project. While sources indicate that approval was granted, it reportedly did not cover the specific location where the statue is being erected. Elder Claude Weaver, the church’s leader, has asserted that all necessary documentation is in order and that he has complied with the DCA’s requests. The statue, which stands prominently on All Saints Road, was intended to symbolize biblical prophecies from the book of Daniel. Its imposing design—featuring a helmeted head, crossed arms, and muscular frame—has sparked a range of reactions. Supporters view it as a bold declaration of faith, while critics have questioned its size and placement. With the DCA’s intervention, the future of the statue remains uncertain, leaving both the church and the community in anticipation of further developments.
