Minister Robs Widow At Burial In Akwa Ibom 

The organizer and general administrator of City of Reality Christian Center, Apostle Nsikak Etim, has been captured by the police for allegedly robbing a widow at husband’s burial.

Daily Independent reports that the minister, who was not welcomed to the burial, had stretched at the Itung Mbang, Uruan nearby government zone,the venue of the burial. He was said to have witnessed the widow as sympathizers gave her gifts.

When arrested, Apostle Etim, a native of Enen Atai in Itu local government area of Akwa Ibom state, confessed that he truly stopped by the burial although he was not invited. He went on to reveal how he patiently waited to steal a bag that has about N600, 000, two cell phones belonging to the widow and her late husband, a cheque book with an ATM pin written at the edge of the cover, an ATM card and a briefcase containing the late husband’s documents, which was handed over to the woman’s son for safe keeping.

The pastor immediately used the money to buy a land in Uyo, withdrew all the money in the victim’s account using the ATM which has the pin written on it. He also gave the victim’s late husband’s phone to his wife, while he made use of the widow’s phone.

He was however tracked by the Department of State Services (DSS) through the stolen phones and was arrested during a church session at his City of Reality Christian Centre, Ediene Ikot Obio Imo in Uyo.

Etim who admitted to his crime during the interrogation said he was into photograph and feature media before he got his calling. He reprimanded the fallen angel for his wrongdoing and promised to hand over the land acquired to the widow.

"Kindly don't send me to jail. The villain is attempting to waste my service. Kindly don't include my wife in this, she is honest, I didn't advise her where I got the telephone from.  I don’t want our child to grow up without a father, please have mercy upon me,” he pleaded.
