The Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Ikeja, Lagos Police Command Police on March 25,
2015, arrested a suspect, Pastor Tope Kolawole, who specialised in stealing
from churches!!!
In his confession,
he said:
He recalled: “I
told my friends that I could not do what they asked me, especially since it
involved my going into churches to commit this evil act! I also reminded some
of them that I’m an ordained pastor. But my friends asked me what my pastor
post had to do with my achieving my dream in life. He also said that if I
should steal from God’s house, God would understand that my problems lead me
into the act. When I got back home, I thought of it and decided to give the
business a trial.”
He added: “I went
in to breaking and stealing from churches after I had nothing to do or nowhere
to source money after I left prison. I had a diploma degree as a pastor from
Christ Apostolic Church (CAC)School of theology in 2008 after which I was
transferred to a branch of CAC Oke Iyanu at Alakia, Ibadan, to practice as a
pastor for three months.”
He said: “I began
hawking phone accessories along Oshodi road, where I met some group of boys
whose leader was called Alausa. They are into the business of buying and
selling musical instruments. After my release, I went back to Oshodi to see my
fellow guys. It was then that Alausa, who had been assisting me financially,
introduced me to the business.”
He said: “I
only break into churches whenever I’m broke. I didn’t want to depend on my wife
who is a nurse. I used to attend The Lords Chosen Charismatic Church, but left
when my life was not making a meaning. I had to move to the Redeemed Christian
Church of God (RCCG). I once met a woman whose daughter was sick at the Holy
Ghost Service and I prayed for the girl and she was healed. I know I’ve done a
very sinful thing before God and man all because I refused to yield to the call
of God and this has led me to this unpleasant state.”
