Anglican Cleric set two ATM machines on fire in IMO (Video)
A lot of sane people have lost their minds because of the hardship in Naija. Seriously, there is no logical reason for this man to do what he did,neither can that proffer solution to any of the problems facing Nigeria.A man, identified as an Anglican Church priest, has set the two Automated Teller Machines installed by Imo Microfinance Bank at Aba Branch in the Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State on fire.
The man, whose action caused pandemonium in the area, equally set his motorcycle on fire before he was overpowered by security men and bank customers.
An eyewitness, Kingsley Chukwu, told Southern City News on Sunday that the incident happened on Friday.
Chukwu disclosed that the cleric identified as Rev. Chukwunyere Ibezim of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Ugiri in the Isiala Mbano LGA, was beaten by an enraged crowd.
“Rev. Chukwunyere Ibezim of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Ugiri in Isiala Mbano LGA is cooling off his heels in the police net for breaking into the bank in broad daylight with a gallon of fuel and setting the two installed ATMs on fire.
“On noticing that people would go after him, he smartly ran out of the bank, set his own motorcycle on fire in a bid to scare people away and took to his heels.
“A mob went after him and almost crushed him. It took the intervention of policemen from the Ehime Mbano Divisional Headquarters to save him from being lynched.
“The sum of N100,000 was recovered from him. A new hammer was equally recovered from him. He came on a brand new motorcycle which he later set ablaze also,” Chukwu narrated.
Chukwu, who lamented the wanton destruction, said the damage would affect the locals as it was the only commercial bank within the area.
