Woman apprehended while stealing church offerings
Meanwhile, Fox Nigeria previously reported that a woman was caught stealing church offerings.
The unidentified woman was seen sweeping through the pile of money on the floor, selecting notes. After choosing what she wanted, the money was folded and kept in her breast area.
With her back facing the door, a man who seemed to be a priest entered and saw what the lady was doing. He left right after the woman did not realise he had seen her. The priest returned to the room, and the woman, upon seeing him, started praying in tongues.
