Suspected hoodlums have burgled a branch of the Living Faith Church located at Ekredjebor in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, making away with church equipment valued at over ₦100 million, bags of rice meant for widows.

It was learnt that some of the stolen equipment had only recently been procured and installed in preparation for Christmas programmes.
A church official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, disclosed that the attackers overpowered the security guard on duty before gaining access to several offices within the church premises.
“When the hoodlums came, they tied down the security guard and forced their way into the Resident Pastor’s office, the Assistant Resident Pastors’ offices and the Accountant’s office,” the source said.
He added that the burglars carted away computers, all the installed solar power equipment, bags of rice meant for widows.
