Two men, Isaac Nyam and his accomplice, both pictured above have been arrested by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) in Abuja for robbing the Kingdom Connection Church, Jabi Daki-Biyu Abuja on June
15th.
The Sun reports it thus:
The men were part of a 4-man robbery gang that specialized in robbing churches in Abuja of their tithes and offerings.
The robbers, who disguise as worshipers, attend the service of a church and then attack and rob them of the offerings collected.
Luck however ran out on them after they attacked the Kingdom Connection
Church, Jabi Daki-Biyu Abuja. They had overpowered the security guards
in the church and carted away with the church’s offering, musical
instruments, laptops, GSM handsets and also removed the brain box of
church’s Toyota Hummer bus. Unfortunately for them, they were later
caught.
When interrogated, one of the suspects, Isaac Nyam said
“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.”
According to the FCT Commissioner of Police, Mr. Wilson Inalegwu,
after much investigation, the robbers’ hideout was located and they were
subsequently arrested. The police recovered an English Berata pistol
and three other pistols from the gang.
The suspects will soon be charged to court.
