An ex-convict, Kenneth Ejiofor, has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a pastor’s house and stealing the church offering.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Ejiofor, who was staying with the pastor, Samuel Orji, on September 30, broke into his house while he was in church and stole the church offering and two ATM cards.

Orji was said to have had a misunderstanding with Ejiofor the previous day and had sent him packing.

Our correspondent learnt that Ejiofor came the next day and broke into Orji’s house when he was not around and went away with the offering said to be N11,000; and seed offering that had yet to be counted.

Orji, in his statement to the police, said he allowed Ejiofor to stay in his house because Ejiofor’s elder brother begged him to pray for him (Ejiofor), adding that things started getting missing during Ejiofor’s stay.

He said, “Ejiofor’s brother brought him to Lagos from the village. He couldn’t stay with his brother because of his character. His brother pleaded with me to allow Ejiofor to stay with me so that I could pray for him.

“During the period he stayed in our house, things started getting missing. My wife will cook and give him food but after eating, he will take a piece of meat from the pot.

“My wife bought a lock and started locking the kitchen, but Kenneth broke the lock. Money would just miss in the house; unknown to us, Kenneth had a spare key to the house.

“Kenneth’s job is to fetch water once in two days. One Saturday, there was no water in the house except the little water in the kitchen and Kenneth used the water to bath. When I confronted him, he told me that he had respected me enough and I should respect myself.

“I was angry and I told him to pack his bag and leave my house.

“On Sunday when we were in church, he came back to the house, broke the gate and opened the sitting room with the spare key with him and stole the offering money which is N11,000. He also took the seed offering money which we have not counted, as well as two ATMs.”

However, Ejiofor in his statement confessed to been an ex-convict but denied stealing the church offering.

He was arraigned before Ogba Magistrates’ Court on four counts bordering on stealing and breach of the peace.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The charges read in part, “That you, Kenneth Ejiofor, on September 30, around 10.30pm, on Awoni Murphy Street, off Haruna College Road, Ogba, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did break the burglary proof bars and gain access to the sitting room and did commit felony to wit; stealing, threatening violence and conduct likely to cause breach of the peace; thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 307 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State.

“That you, Kenneth Ejiofor, on the same date, time and place in the aforementioned magisterial district, did steal the sum of N11,500 and Zenith Bank ATM card, property of one pastor Samuel Orji, thereby committing an offence contrary to Section 280 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State

The magistrate, W.A. Salami, admitted him to bail in the sum of N100,000 and two sureties in like sum.

Salami adjourned the matter till November 21.

HUNGER IS REAL

BUT WAT IS THE OFFERING DOING IN THE PASTORS HOUSE?

UNREPENTANT THIEF!

The magistrate, W.A. Salami, admitted him to bail in the sum of N100,000 and two sureties in like sum.

They've granted him bail already?
Stealing continua........

This is what happens When you fall in love with jail and want to go back by the first chance you get .

On a more serious note, does the Nigerian government help ex-prisoners to get a job or become self-employed or do they just release them to find a way to take care of themselves?

Jesus ! Some people get mind o

Man must werk

that's an ipob who has just atikurobbed.

A leopard cannot change its spots!

He can't change his attitude and can't be satisfied.

He should be locked up again if not, he will turn to armed robber

Stealing is in his blood

The man can never change

He is not likely to be reformed in the Prisons.

Jungle justice awaits him in the end then!

Hunger and self indiscipline are bad

i don't think he can get that money for bail. somebody brought from the village to be prayed for. Then, how will he get two sureties? The thief will be forgotten in prison.

Nigeria prisons doesn't reform or correct criminals it rather hardens them , oyinbo prisons are called correctional centres. dude is a kleptomaniac needs spiritual help

That is supposed to be the judgement for him : a long prison time, or else , he will continue where he stopped.

What’s the proof that this man did all that? I did not read or see any compelling evidence to convince me beyond reasonable doubt that the said Ejiofor committed the crime.

What if the pastor was blackmailing him because of his past?

NCAN spotted.

Where are you reporting from?

This is why I always fear any Christian brother who is an ex-convict.

It takes persistent willpower to resist the urge to return to a previous bad habit

Stealing is in the guy's DNA.

What makes this one to be x convict? Some one is still in active practice. Both of them should be investigated, tried and convicted if they are found guilty.
