A suspect, Pius Edward; his wife, Fausat;
and her mother, have been arrested by the Oyo State Police Command in
connection with the theft of N13m from Bishop’s Court, an Anglican
church in Bodija area of Ibadan.
Edward, a security man at the church was said to have broken into an office where the money was kept and made away with it.
It was alleged that he woke his wife the following morning and told her to prepare for a journey with the children.
After the theft was reported by one of
the reverends in the church, the police were, however, able to trace his
movement and nabbed him at Idi-Iroko, Ogun State, where he had gone to
buy two cars with part of his loot.
He was also said to be planning to relocate his family to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The state Commissioner of Police,
Mohammed Ndabawa, said Edwards’ in-law’s involvement was attempting to
help the family disappear from Nigeria by facilitating the procurement
of their travel documents.
