Once inside, the gun-wielding attackers made the worshippers lie on the ground while they went around robbing the attendees of their cell phones and other belongings.
Reluctant to settle for what they had taken, the bandits ambushed the minister and made him show them where the church’s cash was stored.
The clergyman, afterwards, was whisked away by the robbers to an unknown location.
