Youth Leader Of Living Faith Church Leads Robbery Gang by Tolexander: 5:27pm On Feb 03, 2013
Nemesis has caught up with
a youth leader of the Living
Faith Church in Okene, Kogi
State, who professed to be a
born-again Christian, but in
reality was the leader of a
10-man robbery gang. The
suspect (name withheld),
who was described as ‘very
popular’ in the area, allegedly
led his gang to break into
the office of the pastor of
the church in the night and
carted away over N315,000
belonging to the church.
Ironically, he was one of the
early callers to the church
the next morning, and
joined in raining curses on
the perpetrators of the
crime. Parading the suspects
yesterday, at the police
headquarters in Lokoja, the
state Commissioner of Police,
Mohammed Musa Katsina,
described the arrested
suspects as a sledgehammer
robbery gang. He said that
the youth leader, “who led
the robbery operation was
seen the following morning,
raining curses on the
robbers and even invoking
Holy Ghost fire on them, and
now, the Holy Ghost fire has
caught up with him.”
He said that the gang made
up of bricklayers and block
moulders specialize in
breaking into shops and
private residences, carting
away goods and money. The
Commissioner stated that
the suspects were armed
with guns and other
dangerous weapons during
their operations He said that
they normally disguise as
casual labourers going
around residences and
shops in search of potential
victims. The police boss said
the mother of the gang
leader is a chorister in the
same church. Answering
reporters’ questions, the
arrested youth leader
confessed that he played the
born-again youth leader in
the day, and armed robber
at night.
He confessed that he has led
27 robberies within Okene
and Lokoja as well as Adavi
local government areas. The
Assistant Pastor of the
church, Pastor Aloysius
Momoh, who expressed
surprise at the youth leader’s
involvement in the crime,
said that the church went
into seven-day prayer and
fasting shortly after the
church was robbed, and God
warned those behind the
dastardly act to repent
between May and December,
last year, or be disgraced
One of the victims, Paul
Ikunagus, said over N2
million cash was stolen from
his shop while one of them
said he lost N5.8 million to
the robbers who invaded his
shop last December.
All the victims commended
the police in the state under
the leadership of Musa
Katsina for bringing the
elusive gang members to
book. Items recovered from
the suspects included one
locally made gun, a jerk
knife, two big hammers,
handsets and clothes.
