A commander of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) has warned churchgoers against publicly sharing personal achievements and attending evening services without considering potential security risks.
The warning follows the reported arrest of a pastor accused of attempting to kidnap a prophetess.
“Stop going to evening services in churches, stop giving testimonies of what you’ve achieved in life. It doesn’t conform with common sense and rationality. There are different kinds of people in church with different motives. You can’t be doing all that and not expect the men of the underworld to strike,” the commander reportedly said.
The statement highlights concerns about the possibility of criminals exploiting information people disclose publicly, including details about their achievements and personal circumstances.
However, the circumstances surrounding the alleged kidnapping plot, the identity of the pastor and prophetess, and the commander’s full remarks were not provided in the information available.
The allegations should therefore be treated as claims pending further confirmation.
