Chairman of PHALGA Security Watch, Victor Ohaji, in an interview explained that he got intelligence at about 1:00a.m. on Sunday that the church guards were conveying iron rods and other church property to an unknown destination with a truck.

Ohaji said he quickly mobilised his men, stormed the church, and trailed the suspects to where the property was about to be sold.

He said the receivers of the stolen items on sighting them, took to their heels, but the six guards were arrested and the stolen items were retrieved.
