OUR DAILY MANNA (ODM), THE LEADING CHRISTIAN DAILY DEVOTIONAL WHICH IS
LIKE A HOUSEHOLD NAME TODAY IN NIGERIA HAD ANOTHER ROBBERY ATTACK
AGAIN RECENTLY.
THE POPULAR OFFICE situated at Ogudu area in Lagos was invaded by an
armed robber last Friday June 13, 2014. Eye witness disclosed that the
robber stormed the church at about 1pm when the place seem to be empty
except for the presence of the staff that was around when they came
in.
The robber was said to have pretended to be a repairer of bad chairs
and that he had come to repair the office chairs in the
computer/admin rooms.
“The robbers came in to pretend as a furniture repairer and came to
ask if he could help repair some of the malfunctioning chairs and
furniture in the church office and the computer room, and we did not
have any reason to have doubted him and his pretence,” an eye witness
revealed.
Further investigation reliably gathered that as soon as he came in to
the office where he pretended to have come to make some repairs, he
ordered the ODM
staff to evacuate the office since he was going to spray a very
dangerous chemical. The staffers agreed immediately.
A couple of minutes later one of the administrative staff decided to
check what was going on in the office where this “chair repairer” was
working and he discovered that the man had already removed the office
laptop and was planning to remove the second one. He raised alarm and
the robber was intercepted. He was searched and a phone and a
dangerous instrument was found on him.
After being arrested by the men of the Ogudu Police station, and was
asked who sent him and who was his boss, he claimed he came from far
away Ogun state but he kept lamenting that he was giving wrong
information. In his words, “I never knew it was a church/christian
office. I thought its an ordinary office. If I had know it was church,
I won’t have agreed to come.” Adding to his words, “ I came all the
way from Otta, (Agbado, Ijaiye) I don’t know this place is a church
office. THEY DID NOT TELL ME OOOO. I wouldn’t have come here.”
He was immediately charged to Ogudu Magistrate court and the judge
presiding over the case, Mrs AWOPE, who was very angry, gave an order
for him to be remanded in Ikoyi Maximum prison, till July 14 when the
matter will be revisited.
Prior to this ugly incident, we gathered authoritatively that the ODM
publisher, Bishop Dr. Chris Kwapovwe had been faced with different
challenges and battles from his supposed “enemies.” Remember that
there was also a robbery about a year ago and it was the same LAPTOP
OFFICE that was targeted. The general view is that it is the handiwork
of people who are planning to bring him down by all means following
his unusual rise/success story and the wave-making publication, “Our
Daily Manna.”
ALSO, irrespective of the many challenge that has been brought to the
happily married Bishop Dr Chris and Dr (Mrs.) Ejiro Kwakpovwe ,
nothing have been able to shudder them and they have moved from
strength to strength both in the ministry and in their family life.
Meanwhile the Nigerian Police are not leaving any stone unturned to
trace the matter to its foundation.
