Robbers Attend Church Services In Abuja, Rob The Church Of Offerings Collected. by CastroTbb(m): 2:16pm On Jul 19, 2015
The popular adage, many days for the thief, one
day for the owner of the house, came through
when two armed robbery suspects were arrested
by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of
the Federal Capital Territory Police Command in
Abuja.
The two suspects who belonged to a gang of
four robbers that specialized in joining genuine
worshippers to attending Sunday services and
then returning to steal the offering for the day
from the same churches, met their waterloo
after robbing the Kingdom Connection Church,
Jabi Daki-Biyu and St. Matthew Catholic Church
in Karmo Abuja.
In a brief chat
with Sunday
Sun, one of the
arrested sus­
pects, Isaac
Nyam, 35, con­
fessed that he
was among the
gang that
robbed the
church, and
explained the
modus
operandi of the
gang.
His words: “We specialized in robbing churches in
Abuja.
Usually one member of our gang would attend
service in the church before we go to rob the
place. When the service is on, we will watch
what they are doing, especially during the
offering time. We will watch where the ushers
take the offering box after the service and in
the night we go back for the operation.”
Armed with the intelligence gathered, the FCT
Commissioner of Police, Mr. Wilson Inalegwu said
that gang struck on June 15, 2015, at the Kingdom
Connection Ministry around 3.00am, where they
overpowered the two security men. They also tied
up some members of the church living within the
premises of the church; the gang then gained
access into the auditorium and carted away the of­
fering, musical instruments, laptops, GSM handsets
and also removed the brain box of church’s Toyota
Hummer bus.
Done with their unholy deed, the gang departed,
gladdened that it had executed a successful heist,
but providence turned the table on them as
information was relayed to the police command,
and SARS operatives were activated to go smoke
out the culprits.
Through diligent investigations, the police located
and stormed the hideout of the gang. Two
members of the gang were arrested while the other
two escaped with bullet wounds. The police recov­
ered an English Berata pistol and three other
pistols from the gang.
Commenting on the robbery experience, a member
of Kingdom Connection Church, Mr. Philp Oseni
said: “We were shocked when they came; they tied
up the two security men on duty and some of our
members living within the church premises and
went straight to where we keep the offering box.”
The Commissioner of Police assured that the
suspects would be charged to court soon.
