A Church member steals N5,000 from offering box

 

A member of Saint Peter’s Catholic Church, Ejigbo, Lagos state, identified simply as Kingsley, has been arrested for beating his pregnant wife and allegedly stealing money from the church’s offering box.
Kingsley who, according to reports had earlier been arrested for same offence, had gone to church on Thursday for the regular morning mass when he was again apprehended by the church’s private guards and the N5,000, he allegedly stole, was recovered from him.


Kingsley had reportedly stayed behind pretending to be having personal prayer time, while other worshipers left after the mass. Thereafter, he reportedly went to where the offering box was kept, brought out a glue-coated stick and dipped it inside the offering box.
