A pastor in Kogi State, identified as Sunday Edino and his accomplices have been arrested by the Kogi State Police Command for looting medical equipment worth N1.2billion. The suspected pastor was arrested on Monday in a manhunt led by the Kogi State Commissioner of Police, Ayuba Ede.
This is as the sporadic shooting by masked hoodlums in Lokoja on Monday, 26th October, 2020 led to the death of no fewer than five persons, while several others sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment at the hospital.
The self styled pastor had vandalized a warehouse in Lokoja and looted the medical equipment with his car before he was apprehended by the Nigerian Police in the State. When he was under interrogation, the suspect could not account for the medical equipment found in his car which he packed inside his booth and others which he hid in a nearby bush.
Meanwhile, residents of Lokoja, the Kogi State capital have continued to lament the invasion of the town by suspected hoodlums who shot at innocent citizens and destroyed properties belonging to both government and private individuals.
Reacting, the Police public relations officer, William Aya, said the hoodlums shooting were scaring people to enable them perpetuate their nefarious acts. He said that the shootings were not from the Police officers, adding that they were being trailed and would be brought to book shortly.
