The congregants frantically searched around for the pastor
Some crusade goers openly wept in Uromi area of Edo State after a self-professed pastor absconded with their mobile phones during a prayer programme.
The incident reportedly occurred over the weekend when the pastor visited the area to host a crusade.
It was learnt that before starting the programme, the pastor, whose identity could not be immediately ascertained, instructed the congregants to drop their phones at the altar.
However, tragedy struck when the pastor fled with the phones during prayers.
The development created panic among the congregants who frantically searched around for the pastor but all their efforts proved futile.
A video of the incident trended on X on Monday morning.
Footage sighted by this reporter shows some crusade goers, comprising mostly women, openly weeping over the loss of their phones and other valuables.
The Edo State Police Command has not confirmed the incident. (The Sun)
