Archbishop and Presiding Officer of Unifaith Living Church Incorporated, Paul Hanson has narrated how he was robbed at gunpoint by unknown bandits.
According to him, they stripped him naked in his pastoral robes and took away all his belongings, including his car and six phones.
The Pentecostal Archbishop said he was on his way to Anambra State, where he was meant to consecrate a Bishop-elect named Norman Okeorimili.
According to Hanson, the gunmen intercepted him while he was heading to the event on Sunday, December 11, 2022, at Akata Market Square, Orlu, Imo State.
Expressing deep worry that a cleric could be stripped and all his belongings removed, Hanson, who was driving from Akwa Ibom State, said his car, regalia, rank badge, money, six phones, among other thinings, were all taken away by the hoodlums.
His words:
“This incident happened at Akata, Orlu market square, Imo State, while I was coming from Akwa Ibom State, to consecrate the Bishop-elect of our church, Norman Okeorimili, in Ogidi.
“I was stripped; they left me with a pant, my car and all in it removed.
“They included six phones that included those of my driver, money, regalia, badge rank, among others.
“It was somebody I don’t know that brought his car to help me.
“He helped me to the Police Area Commander and from there I called my Divisional Police Officer in Akwa Ibom and told him what happened.”
The Archbishop, however, said the robbery incident didn’t stop him from consecrating Norman Okeorimili.
