It was a terrible Monday at Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Bwari, Abuja, as no fewer than 10 heavily armed robbers, invaded the church and brutally stabbed a security guard on duty.
According to reports, the hoodlums stabbed the security guard, identified only as John, in the stomach and ripped off his intestines.
This has since caused panic for residents of the District Centre Estate, Phase 4, Kubwa, in the Bwari area council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The gang members were said to have arrived in the church from the shanties and slums in the neighbourhood.
According to a source, the robbers demanded money and searched the premises, adding that they became angry when they could not find anything.
He said, “The incident happened around 3 am on Monday. The heavily armed robbers came and John tried to resist them. During the fracas, he was overpowered and stabbed in the stomach.
“He was rushed to the General Hospital in Kubwa but because doctors were on strike, there was nothing that could be done. He was thereafter transferred to another private hospital in Abuja.”
Also speaking, the Chairman of the District Centre Estate, Ifeanyi Uwaje, confirmed the incident.
He said, “What happened was very unfortunate; we took the victim to a hospital and we have reported the case to the police.”
