P.M.NEWS gathered that the suspect had met with the pastor of the church, Michael Ojo and told him he had problems and needed prayers and assistance from the church.
During the conversation, he collected the pastor’s phone number and later excused himself that he needed to ease himself.
A police source, who spoke with P.M.NEWS, narrated that the suspect had not gone to ease himself, but had used the opportunity to call an accomplice, who he gave the pastor’s number. The accomplice called the pastor that his wife had a serious accident somewhere in Odogunyan, Ikorodu and begged him to come quickly to their rescue.
Without giving it a second thought, the pastor told Saheed to wait for him and dashed out of the church premises with his car.
As soon as the pastor left, the suspect was said to have stolen some valuable items in the church and not having enough, he also carried the new big generator in the church and was attempting to wheel it away when he was accosted by the neighbours, who challenged him. He told them the pastor had called him on phone to come and repair it, but when one of the neighbours called the pastor for confirmation, he instructed them to call the police.
Meanwhile, the suspect is still being detained at the station and the police said he would soon be charged to court.
