“Touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm”, this was the instruction giving to us from the Holy Book.

According to reports, Priests whose families were attacked by the robbers include Rev. Solomon Gbenjo, Rev. Tunde Ajayi and Rev. Biodun Olatide.

The 60 years old priests said: “They got to our apartment around 2am. They forced the door open. My daughter’s room was the first place they visited, my laptop was there with the receipt and the bag.

“Somebody was to come and collect N20,000 from her but unfortunately could not come. That was the first money they grabbed. They also took some of her wristwatches.

“When they had finished robbing her, they asked her to lead them to our bedroom. They asked us to lie face down and ransacked the house. As soon as they came in, they said they had killed one of the gate men. They threatened that if we did not cooperate, they would kill us too.

“They hit me with a belt. That was how the whole thing started. It caught us unaware,” he said.

According Rev Olagbanjo in his explanation, he said that they beat up Rev Ajayi’s wife and later stole N102,000, laptop, a mobile phone, bag and a flash drive from the Ajayis’ apartment.

He further said before the robbers entered his apartment, they had overpowered one of the night guards, attacked him with machete and inflicted severe injuries on his head.
