ABAKALIKI — TWO youths alleged to have stolen an amplifier belonging to Christ Embassy Church, Amagu Ishiagu in Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State were, weekend, apprehended by some members of the church.

Speaking at the church premises, the Pastor in charge, Kannon Uwenobong alleged that the suspected thieves broke into his church about two weeks ago and stole the amplifier.

He said during one of the church’s prayer sessions, he gave the suspects two weeks to return the item or face serious problem.

He noted: “We then sent out our members in search of the amplifier and they found it in the possession of one ThankGod who claimed to have bought it from the people who stole it.

“He, ThankGod, promised to bring those that sold the amplifier to him and today he brought these two boys.”

Vanguard learnt that ThankGod allegedly bought the stolen amplifier from one Mr. Ndubuisi Onyekwere and Dennis at the cost for N1,500 and that the suspects were demanding more money from him (ThankGod); so he told them that he would give them more money when he gets receipt for the payment he made.

According to ThankGod “Last Sunday I was in my church and our church Amplifier got spoilt; so I went and brought the one I bought from those two boys and as we were using it in Church, members of Christ Embassy Church came in disguise that they wanted to hire it; so I told them to wait till after the service.
