At least six robbers laid siege on the Vine Branch Church, Mokola Ibadan today, killing two policemen and potentially losing two of their own men to fatal gun wounds in a failed attempt to steal the church’s Sunday service offering. According to a member of the congregation, the robbers arrived the church at exactly 12:15pm in a Black Toyota Corolla car.

Dressed in black suits and white shirts, the gunmen caught the policemen on duty unawares, as they were mistaken for church worshippers. “The policemen attempted to resist but two of them were killed instantly, as they were unprepared for that sort of daredevil confrontation in a church and on a Sunday. The source also said that once the six robbers gained entry into the church, they shot indiscriminately, causing pandemonium that resulted into all manners of bodily injuries to more than 40 congregators.

“The church has five exit points, and these robbers came in through three. This meant that more than 1,000 worshippers had to scuttle for only two doors”, he continued. “No one was hit by a bullet, but there was a stampede. Many people tripped. Some others were suffocated, and they fainted.  Some sustained bruises, others sustained sprains. I was lucky only to have sustained minor bruises and sprained my leg, and I’m sure they heal fast”.
