An Associate Pastor of the church, Joseph Ogaba, said nothing was stolen from the church.

He said, “Nothing was taken from the church and we cannot question somebody (guard) who is on the sickbed. Until he gets better and we hear from him, whatever you hear will be assumptions.

“We will prefer you wait to hear from the church before publication.”
