The heart of men is wicked! The
heartlessness of some armed robbers who not only steal from their victims, but
also kill or maim them, manifested recently when a gang of armed robbers
attacked a pastor of popular pentecostal church in the Abeokuta area of Ogun
State and shot him in the mouth for daring to plead that his daughter should
not be r*ped.
According to Crime Reports, the gang
members, including Sodiq Asimiyu (21) a.k.a. Nokia, Lekan a.k.a Goddey, Ayo
a.k.a. AY, Seun Ojo a.k.a. Sepe, Kassim and Sunday, among others, assembled at
a hemp joint at Ojupa area, Oke-Bode, Abeokuta, on May 31, 2014, from where
they took off to a robbery operation, using two Bajaj motorcycles.
They succeeded in their moves when
they came across a man driving his Nissan X-terra jeep, whom they robbed and
dispossessed of his vehicle in front of State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta.
Unsatisfied with the previous day’s loot, the gang took off
again with the X-Terra vehicle at about 5a.m. on Sunday, June 1 and moved to
Elite area, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, where they blocked a car driven by a Pastor at
about 5.50a.m. while on his way to church with his wife and daughter.
A police source further informed
Crime Reports that the man was dispossessed of N150,000, a Samsung Galaxy
tablet and HTC phone belonging to his daughter, among other items.
Not satisfied, one of the armed
robbers who eyed the cleric’s daughter with lust, ordered her to move away from
her parents into the church, with the intention to have s*x with her…
On sensing this, the Reverend
pleaded with them to spare his daughter since he had surrendered all they
wanted to them. In a fit of anger over the pleading, one of the gang members pulled the trigger of his gun and
shot the man in the mouth. Not yet done, another member went to their
operational vehicle, brought out a bottle of beer, opened it and poured the
content on the man of God where he fell. They left afterwards.
Nemesis however caught up with Sodiq
when he was arrested on September 11, 2014 when he reportedly came back to
Abeokuta for another operation. He was caught with a cut-to-size single barrel
gun put in a bag. Also arrested was one Tunde Egunjobi in whose house Sodiq was
nabbed.
Both are currently undergoing
investigations at the Anti- Robbery section of the State CID, Eleweran, in Ogun
State Police Command.
I wonder the kind of heart some
human beings carry. How can you do such to a pastor? How sad!
