These Men Rob A Church 3 Times! They Say The Fear Of God Doesn't Move Them


Will a man rob God? To these men - Akinbode Theophilus (30), Waidi Folorunso (27) and Wasiu Olusola (31) - the answer to the question above is possibly, yes. They are currently in police net accused of robbing a church located at Ijegun in the Ikotun area of Lagos, Nigeria.
It wasn’t just once that the church was robbed. A member of the church is involved...

The robbers attacked the church on three separate occasions during which they carted away items, the most valuable of which were musical instruments valued at hundreds of thousands of Naira. The musical instruments were believed to be the main target of the robbers.
The trio of Theophilus, Folorunso and Olusola were said to have confessed to police interrogators that they were behind the serial robbery attacks on the church. Sources close to the interrogators also quoted the suspects as admitting to robbing some other churches in Lagos and Ibadan.





According to Vanguard, the suspects arrest is as dramatic as it is mysterious:
They had allegedly broken into the headquarters of the Kingdom Zone of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ifelodun Street, Ijegun, in the early hours of April 5, 2013. They entered the church auditorium, broke the iron cage inside which the musical instruments were secured and removed them. Not done yet, they broke into the church offices and ransacked them, apparently looking for cash and valuables.

Two of them – Theophilus and Folorunso- allegedly chartered a tricycle to convey their loot and had successfully escaped from the area. The suspects were said to be transferring the musical instruments from the tricycle into another one at Ikotun roundabout, some five kilometers from scene of robbery – around 5am – when a police patrol team noted their suspicious movements and accosted them.

They told the patrol team they were musicians coming from a night engagement. Not convinced, the police team, led by one Inspector Ahmed, reportedly, asked the suspects to take them to the venue of the engagement to confirm their story. Then, on close scrutiny of the musical instruments, the policemen found the name of the church engraved on them.

The game was up. Folorunso allegedly tried to bolt away. He knocked down one of the policemen in the process. But as he dashed across the road, an oncoming tricycle knocked him down, instantly demobilising him. Both suspects – Theophilus and Folorunso – were arrested and taken to the scene of robbery. They confessed that they had another colleague working with them.

The robbers also allegedly named a marketer at Oshodi who had been helping them to sell their loot.

Theophilus an Folorunso were later taken to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja where further investigations yielded the arrest of the third suspect, Olusola.

Olusola, who facilitated the robbery secretly, is said to be an ‘insider’ at the church in Ijegun.

The indicted marketer is said to be on the run.

Asked if he did not fear God as to go to a church to rob, Theophilus, a Christian, said he feared God, but the fear paled into insignificance when the survival of his family was at stake. He cried out that the salary he earned from his teaching job in a school in Abeokuta is too small to sustain his family.
