Owerri Bank Robbery: Pastor Arrested By Police For Keeping Rifles In Church by computerwiz2: 6:50am On Mar 01, 2018 |
Policemen attached to the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Imo State Police Command have arrested the founder of Jesus The Rock of Salvation Healing Ministry, Uratta, in the Owerri North Local Government Area of the state, Pastor Chiedozie Anochima, in connection with the February 22, 2017, robbery in a bank. The attack on the Wetheral Road branch of Zenith Bank in Owerri, the state capital, left two policemen dead, with another injured, while one of the armed robbers was gunned down during the operation. READ ALSO: Man killed after entering tiger enclosure to dodge ticket fee The police, who had since rounded up the fleeing members of the gang, said the arrest of the cleric during a church service last Sunday was a major breakthrough in the investigation of the crime. A police source said on Wednesday that the arrest of the last member of the gang, Chinonso Onwugbuchlam, one year after the incident, helped the police to arrest the pastor. The source disclosed that it was in the course of interrogation that Onwugbuchlam, who was arrested by F-SARS operatives in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, mentioned the pastor’s name. He said, “Onwugbuchulam named one Pastor Chiedozie Anochima as one of them. The pastor is 36 years old and he is the founder of Jesus The Rock of Salvation Healing Ministry, a church in Urratta, in the Owerri North LGA.” The source told PUNCH Metro that Onwugbuchulam confessed that the pastor kept the gang’s rifles after operations and prayed for them for protection. “Onwuegbuchulam led the F-SARS operatives to his church where we arrested him during a church service. The pastor was surprised to see us. We swooped on him and arrested him immediately. That was last Sunday,”the source said. The state Commissioner of Police, Chris Ezike, said the arrest of the cleric was a big breakthrough for the command. He said, “Yes, it is true. We have arrested the pastor and he is with us. You know that criminal investigation is like kerosene; it spreads. The more you investigate a crime, the more it spreads. “We are working harder to make sure that all those involved in the bank robbery at Zenith Bank in 2017, do not escape justice. We will parade the pastor before newsmen very soon.” Our correspondent gathered that the arrest of the pastor, which caused a stir during the church service, made members of his church to flee. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/punchng.com/imo-bank-robbery-police-nab-pastor-for-keeping-rifles-in-church/amp/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

OP, you're very selfish. How can you be both OP and FTC. This is corruption. You're prolly one of the reasons 9ja is the way it is That's all I have to say about this post Modified: Chinonso Onwugbuchlam. After stealing church money and finding it insufficient, he turned to his brothers doing same profession in a different industry for extra hustles. Quite ingenuous 23 Likes |

Now the pastor's good has backfired. Is this how they pay back a man who devoted his time to praying for them and standing in the gap spiritually for them. Ungrateful people. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
