"You people are planning such a big crusade when hunger dey kill us. Wey all the money wey una collect to organise the crusade,?" the robbers were quoted to have said.

However, when it was obvious that the church's money was not available, the men of the underworld went with the multimedia laptop which contains sermons of the pastor, a gun belonging to one of the church's guards, mobile phones and other valuables.
