Armed Robbers Attack Church In Lagos, Steal N2 Million

 

Robbery in the church is becoming a common incident and these robbers are not even scared of God. Anyways, while members of Christ Apostolic Church, Alagbado, Lagos were having a vigil last night, at about few minutes past 2am, no fewer than 15 armed robbers invaded the church during the prayer session.

In a space of 20 minutes, the armed robbers were said to have stolen about 40 phones, N2 million and had also attempted to rape some of the female members.

A member of the church who witnessed the robbery said that a strange man was seen making strange phone calls during the vigil.

“The vigil actually started around 12 midnight. Some of us observed a man who came in around 1.30am. He was seated in the women’s section. About four persons tried persuading him to change seat, including the pastor, but he refused. So they left him.

“I observed him going out several times to make phone calls. At about 2am, I overheard him saying, ‘start coming, they are praying’. Few minutes later, I heard a gunshot.”

The robbers were said to have left before the police arrived at the scene.
