Supporters of Brian Tamaki have barricaded the entrance to Mt Eden Corrections Facility over claims of hygiene products being withheld by prison officials. 

In a Facebook live video, a group of Destiny Church followers lined up across the entrance to the facility and can be seen linking arms. 

Tamaki was remanded in custody at Auckland Central Remand Prison on Monday and faces charges of breaching Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

The issue concerning church members appears to be over Tamaki's "hygiene items". 

The Facebook post accuses prison and police representatives of "lying" to the Tamaki family. 

"The family were advised that Apostle Brian Tamaki had received his personal hygiene items as was discussed and agreed," the post read. "However when the family received one of their phone calls from Apostle Brian, it was revealed that this had not happened. 

"Church representatives are advising that because the prison/police had lied about their actions and still have not complied with their agreement, disruptive action would be taken in protest. The barricade will remain until they received a call directly from Apostle Tamaki notifying that the agreement was acted upon correctly."
