'religious office in abuja randomly interrupted by leaders of atheists' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'and scoffers? looks like it to me' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'like' could be 'sic' (I've seen this before) and 'sic' is located in the answer.

This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
