On the first day of the nationwide protest against hardship, chairs, musical instruments, and other items worth millions of naira were reported stolen by hoodlums from a church in Katsina.
According to Punch, the incident occurred at a Living Faith Church in the Daura Local Government Area (LGA) of the State. Living Faith Church, Worldwide was founded by Bishop David Oyedepo.
Daily Trust reported that some Nigerians organized a 10-day nationwide protest against what they called bad governance, taking to the streets on Thursday to voice their demands.
The initially peaceful protest took a dramatic turn when miscreants hijacked it in some states, leading to destruction and looting of properties.
David Sarki, the Pastor in charge of the church, told Punch on Sunday that services could not be held due to the incident. He explained, “We have two security personnel; one was on duty while the other was off. When the protest began around 10:00 am, hoodlums in Keke Napep (tricycles) diverted to the church, broke the door and windows, and entered the church auditorium.
“They took everything, including the wall digital clock, musical instruments, pulpit, pastor’s chairs, plastic chairs, a desktop computer at the reception, and a scoreboard where the accountant usually kept church documents. They scattered everything.”
