A 6-man armed robbery gang robbed
the Holy Trinity Anglican Church and St. Anthony’s Hospital and
Maternity in Amanuke, Awka North local government area of Anambra state.
Vanguard reports that aside from the church and hospital,
the robbers took their time to raid private homes and shops of residents
living in the area.
After their operation in the church, they commanded the resident
priest, Rev. Canon Nehemiah Ugoagu, to pray for their safe operation in
the town.
They shot into the air sporadically to scare away many people. They abducted a 16-year-old girl after her mum, a 70-year-old peasant farmer, Ms Faith Ilomuanya, could not find any money to give to the robbers. At the hospital, they made away with a generating set, mobile telephones, hospital equipment and unspecified amount of money.
They manhandled the female medical officials, patients and the watchman on duty. The whereabouts of the victim was still unknown.
He said: “They took my two phones, my wife’s jewellery and other things and then commanded me, at gunpoint, to pray for them so that they would have a smooth operation,” Rev. Ugoagu said.
In a related development, Lagos state police command apprehended two suspected armed robbers who revealed that they were contracted by the manager of a company to rob his boss in the Oshodi area of the state.
