Funny! Robber Steals Money In Church Twice, Caught On 3rd Attempt By Pastor

Quite hilarious, the hustle is real. A suspected church
robber, Ehiosun Junior, has been arraigned before an Egor Chief Magistrate
Court, over alleged attempt to make away with church offerings during its
annual thanksgiving.

Testifying under cross examination at the resumed hearing of
the case, the Pastor in charge of the church, Christ Apostolic Church, Rev.
Igbinigie Anthony, said the alleged thief had broken into the church on three
previous occasion and made away with cash amounting to N52, 000.

The cleric told the court that because he had a premonition
that the thief would return to steal the thanksgiving collections, he and the
church’s Youth President, who was simply identified as Okoh, decided to sleep
in the church.

He said the first time the suspect broke into the church, he
gor away with N40,000, after which he 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,”
Rev. Igbinigie told the court.

He further told the court that they discovered that the
accused was present at the church thanksgiving and was served food and drinks.

The suspect who was arraigned on a four-count charge,
pleaded not guilty.

The case has been adjourned to August 17 for further
hearing.
