There is a slogan right now in the state which says, “One Sunday, one church robbery”.
In the last two weeks in Anambra State, armed robbers
have invaded about three churches at odd hours leaving sorrow and
tears in their trail.
The Catholic Archbishop of Onitsha, Most Rev. Valerian Okeke, worried
over the unusual development, has initiated a prayer programme in the
archdiocese for the repentance of criminals who are harassing and
attacking churches in Onitsha and beyond. The Archbishop has enjoined
the faithful to say the prayers with dedication and commitment so that
robbery attacks in the parishes will end.
