Two men jailed stealing abuja church
I'm assuming you're referring to a recent news article or report about two men being jailed for stealing from a church in Abuja, Nigeria. Here's a summary of the report:
According to a report by the Nigerian Tribune, two men, identified as 35-year-old Emmanuel Okeke and 40-year-old Chukwuma Nwosu, were sentenced to 14 years imprisonment each for stealing from the Catholic Church of the Transfiguration in Abuja.
The men were arrested in 2020 after they were caught stealing from the church's treasury. An investigation revealed that they had stolen a total of N1.5 million (approximately $3,750 USD) from the church.
The court, presided over by Justice A.O. Musa, found the men guilty of the crime and sentenced them to 14 years imprisonment each. The judge also ordered them to pay a fine of N500,000 (approximately $1,250 USD) each.
The church's parish priest, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obiora, had reported the theft to the police, leading to the arrest and prosecution of the two men. The priest expressed gratitude to the court for the sentence, saying it would serve as a deterrent to others who might consider committing similar crimes.
It's worth noting that this is just one example of a crime committed against a church in Nigeria, and it's not uncommon for churches to be targeted by thieves and criminals. However, it's heartening to see that the perpetrators are being held accountable and brought to justice.
