On the night of December 31st, 2021, thieves invaded the mission House of Memorial of Christ Evangelical Ministry at Akyem Otum in Kwaebibirim District in the Eastern region and took away a total of GHc13,000 belonging to the Head Pastor of the Church and his wife.
The stolen amount also includes an offertory of about ghc2000.
The incident happened when Pastor Eric Quartey and his family were in Church Ministering at the all-night service.
The robbers believed to be some unscrupulous youth in the community broke into the room through the window.
The Pastor narrated that “all of us went for 31st all-night. Nobody was left behind. There is a little distance between where the Church is and the mission house. So we closed around 1:00am. When we came my wardrobe was down then my wife said Daddy the wardrobe is down. She said armed robbers have attacked us. Then I said the house is closed so how can armed robbers come here before we saw that they broke the window. They took my wife’s money an amount of Ghc10, 000 and mine about GHc1000, then church money about Ghc2000 and about 15 Kente cloths, store shirts, and a lot of things. They took away my television set “.Pastor Quartet sadly narrated to Starr News.
He said the family was has been devastated by the incident adding that, they had to depend on supports from families and church members before they were able to get food to eat days after the robbery.
According to the Pastor, a similar incident occurred last year on December 6, 2021. He has threatened to invoke curses and misery on the suspects.
“So immediately I saw it I called the chief because the same thing happened last year on 6th of December they broke into my church and took everything about Ghc60, 000 they did nothing. So I called the church and told him this is the third time this is repeating so I will let them go naked in town. They will weep and cry. The Lord said I am going to do something in Israel that everybody that will hear will be shocked. I am going to do that thing in that town that everybody that will hear it will be shocked. Their youth are going to die. I will set an example for that town. They think the spiritualists and Mallams are the only ones that can do that thing. We use the Bible are very dangerous than those people. Only one thing we can do and a nation will be destroyed.”
He said he refused to report the incident to the Police alleging that, the local police took GHc200 from him last year after a similar incident but failed to initiate any investigation leaving the suspects off the hook.
