Church robber, Ehiosun Junior, got caught stealing from the church offering on his third attempt.
Junior’s third robbery operation occurred during the church’s annual thanksgiving.
Following a supposed premonition that there would be another attack, the Pastor in charge of the church, Christ Apostolic Church, Rev. Igbinigie Anthony and the church’s Youth President, who was simply identified as Okoh, decided to sleep in the church that day.
Rev. Igbinigie told the court that: “The first time the suspect broke into the church, he stole N40,000, but I asked the church to pray to God to forgive the thief. On the 12th, they came back through the same place and stole N9,000 and other offering money. On the 23rd, 12 cans of malt were stolen.”
“After our thanksgiving on the 30th, I knew the thief will come back because we kept all the monies and items realized inside the church. At about 11:45 pm, I saw a shadow because we switched off all the lights in the church. I pointed a torch at the person and he ran away towards the direction of the Youth President who caught him. The accused said he was the only one and we called the police who took him away to Okhoro Police Station.”
Igbinigie also revealed to the court that they discovered that the accused was present at the church thanksgiving and was served food and drinks.
