A Nigerian pastor has taken to social media, sharing a distressing video on TikTok after suspected thieves broke into his church and stole equipment just before a planned all-night vigil.
The pastor revealed the theft occurred while preparations were underway for the overnight prayer program. The intruders stole an air conditioning fan and multiple speakers placed near the altar.
In addition to the equipment, the pastor disclosed that the thieves also discovered the church’s fuel supply and emptied it completely before leaving. The losses have disrupted the vigil plans and placed an unexpected burden on the church.
The distraught pastor was quoted in the video, saying: “What has the church done to deserve all this? People of God, God bless you. Today is my last Holy Ghost All night for the year. I just came into the church now with good news and I said let me come and check the sound system and also do some prayers before I leave. Coming to the church, thief has entered the church. Thief has carried speaker, AC fan, they also carried another speaker that stays here (points fingers)… I don’t know who is after the church. This is all night vigil and I don’t know where I will get instruments. There was fuel here, filled up. Now it’s empty,”.
