See d Gospel singer dat was caught stealing SUV in winners church

22-year-old Mr. Samuel Sunday was caught last
weekend while attempting to steal an SUV at the
Living Faith Church, popularly known as ‘Winners
Chapel,’ located at Sango-Otta, Ogun State.
.
Nobody
knew he came into the worship centre to steal a
car. Thus, while others were singing and praising
God, Sunday was frantically searching for the
perfect vehicle to steal.
.
The perfect vehicle would be one, whose owner
forgot the gate pass inside the car. Whenever
church members were driving into the church
premises, security guards at the gate would give
them a gate pass.
.
Nobody is allowed to drive in or out of the church
premises without the gate pass. Sunday was
almost giving up hope of ever finding the perfect
car, when he chanced on a Sport Utility Vehicle
(SUV).
.
The owner, apparently in a hurry, left the gate pass
in the car. The hunter crowed joyfully. He had
successfully broken into the car and was struggling
to undo the security device of the car, in order to
turn on the ignition, when a woman sighted and
watched him.
.
When he noticed the woman, he smiled sheepishly,
grimaced at himself and said: “I have lost my car
key.” He didn’t know the woman was the owner of
the car.
.
Needless to say, Sunday was whisked away by
policemen from Obasanjo Police Station, Ogun
State.
.
After his arrest, Sunday blamed everything on his
action, including his father’s early demise and
devil. The police said:
.
“Sunday broke one of the rear glasses of the SUV
and forced himself into the driver’s seat. He was
battling with the security device in the vehicle,
when he was discovered.”
The owner of the car, who refused to give her
name, said:
.
“It happened last week Sunday. We had just
finished the fourth service and decided to eat at the
restaurant. We were still at the restaurant, when
one of our neighbours called that we should wait
for him. He said he wanted to drive home with us.
.
I told one of my daughters to go and wait for our
neighbour at the point we parked our car. When
she got there, she saw the young man and rushed
back to tell us.”
The woman continued:
.
“Initially, the suspect didn’t know that the vehicle
was ours. He told us that he owned the vehicle
and that he had lost his key.”
Sunday, who claimed to be 19-year-old and later
22, described himself as a gospel singer. He also
described himself as an undergraduate and a
driver. He said:
.
“I don t know what came over me. I wanted to take
the vehicle home. It has been long I left home. I’m
behaving this way because my father died when I
was very young.
I have not gone to my mother’s house in
Lamgbasa, Ajah for some time. I have been staying
with my nephew. I wanted to go back home with
the vehicle.”
A police source at Obasanjo Police Station, said:
“The suspect is a car thief ! We recovered wraps of
Indian hemp from him. He went to the church just
for the purpose of stealing a car from the park.
We found out that he had moved round the parking
lot before he finally saw the SUV.
.
The owner left
the gate pass inside the vehicle. He wouldn’t have
been allowed to drive the vehicle out of the
premises without the gate pass.
