OSOGBO — Dare devil robbers have  invaded the residence of the Bishop of Osogbo Diocese of the Methodist Church and carted away valuables and items worth several millions. Three of the robbers were said to have entered the house by disguising as normal visitors and requested to see the Bishop, Rt. Rev. John Adeleke Bamigboye.

The Bishop, who was in the sitting room with his son, Ife, answered them that he was the one, while the men of the underworld immediately slapped the Bishop’s son and told the Bishop that they were sent to kill him but that they would not kill him because of one or two reasons, which they failed to disclosed.

According to one of the priests of the church, Rev Zacheous Orojo, the next thing the robbers did was to take the Bishop and his son into one of the rooms inside the house and tied their hands and legs with ropes.

The robbers immediately went to the kitchen where the Bishop’s wife was preparing food and ordered her to take them to where they kept money in the house.

Orojo revealed that: “When the robbers got to the kitchen, they ordered mummy to take them to where they use to keep money in the house and took the whole money in the house which was about N110, 000.

“They also went away with all the religious books and the official crosse of the Bishop. After that, the robbers then requested for all the car keys and went away with the official car of the Bishop (Nissan Murano Jeep), along  with other car keys.
