Two suspected armed robbers have attacked the church of Pentecost in Sandema, taking away a huge sum of money and other properties.
The incident happened in the midday hours of Sunday, right after service, as two leaders of the church were counting and documenting monies received as Collection.
The robbers were said to have stormed the church premises and asked the leaders, – a male and female, to lie face down and surrender all money and mobile phones.
The two leaders who were frightened by the incident humbly surrendered and handed over the valuables to the robbers.
An eyewitness said; “…the robbers came on a motorcycle as two leaders of the church were counting the day’s collection. One of the leaders, who is a female was outside while the male was inside actually counting the money. They first met the female who was outside and showed her the gun and asked her to keep quiet and go inside with them. When they got inside, they were all made to lie down and they took the money and their mobile phones away. Before leaving, they fired into the air several times.”
Meanwhile, the case has been reported to the police for intense investigation.
