Akwa Ibom: Pastor Robs Widow
A self-proclaimed pastor has been arrested for
allegedly robbing a widow at husband’s burial in Akwa Ibom.
Apostle Nsikak Etim, Founder and General
Overseer of one City of Reality Christian Centre, admitted to have stopped
by the burial that he was not invited to and catered away over N600, 000, two
cell phones belonging to the widow and her late husband, a cheque book with an
ATM pin written at the edge of the cover, an ATM card and a briefcase
containing the late husband’s documents, which was handed over to the woman’s
son for safe keeping.
The pastor, immediately used the stolen cash to
acquire a land in Uyo, emptied his victim’s account, gave his wife the widow’s
deceased husband’s phone, while he kept for himself the widow’s phone.
According to Daily Independent reports, the culprit
was tracked down by the Department of State Services (DSS) through the stolen
phones and was arrested while conducting a church session at his City of
Reality Christian Centre, Ediene Ikot Obio Imo in Uyo.
“Please don’t send me to jail. The devil is trying
to rubbish my ministry. Please do not involve my wife in this, she is innocent,
I did not tell her where I got the phone from. I don’t want our child to grow
up without a father, please have mercy upon me”. He pleaded during the
interrogation after admitting to the crime.
He also did what criminals are known for, “blame
the devil for the crime” adding that he’d hand over the land acquired to the
widow.
