A man of God has been nabbed fore
robbing a widow during her
husband’s funeral.Apostle Nsikak Etim, the Founder

and General Overseer of City of
Reality Christian Centre, located at
Ediene Ikot Obio Imo in Uyo, Akwa
Ibom State, has been arrested after
he was manipulated in robbing a
woman whose husband had just been
buried, of cash amounting to over
N600,000, two cell phones, a cheque
book and ATM card belonging to the
deceased, and a briefcase containing
the late deceased documents, which
was handed over to the woman’s son
for safe keeping..

It was gathered that the pastor who
hails from Enen Atai, Itu Local
Government Area, had attended the
burial held at Ituk Mbag in Uruan
Local Government Area of the state
uninvited, but as man of God, he was
welcomed by the family of the late
man, not knowing he had come with
another mission; to steal and to rob.
While at the funeral, Apostle Etim, a
father of one, carefully monitored
the widow as she received
sympathizers as they gave her one
gift or the other and at the end of
the day, he swooped in and stole the
bag that contained the money and
the other items.
It was learnt that after stealing the
bag, the pastor immediately used the
stolen cash to acquire a land in Uyo,
emptied the account of the late man
with the ATM card and handed over
the dead man’s phones to his wife
while keeping the other belonging to
the woman, for himself.
But nemesis was to soon catch up
with the criminal pastor as he was
tracked down by the Department of
State Services (DSS), through the
stolen phones and was arrested
while conducting a church service at
his church.
During interrogation, Apostle Etim
admitted to his crime, blaming the
devil for his actions.

“Please don’t send me to jail. The
devil is trying to rubbish my
ministry. Please do not involve my
wife in this, she is innocent.
I did not tell her where I got the
phone from. I don’t want our child to
grow up without a father, please
have mercy upon me,” he pleaded
with the police.

He also promised to return the plot
of land he bought with the stolen

money to the widow as well as
refund all the money he siphoned
from his victim’s bank account.
