No car stolen inside RCCG camp – Police

Nigerian Police on Sunday debunked reports in a section of the media that a car belonging to a worshipper was stolen from the Redeemer Christian Church of God, RCCG, camp ground in Keffi, Nasarawa State.

The 21st Edition of Abuja Special Holy Ghost Service held at the ground between November 10 and 12.

An online report had quoted a painter, Gabriel Oluwagbenga, as saying that his car was stolen from the camp ground on November 12.

The Divisional Police Officer, Goshen‎ Police station, CSP Eunice Ogbudu, said worshippers were always advised to use designated parking lots, as parking outside of them could be risky.

She said: “I was in my office on Saturday morning at about 8am when one Mr Ogunjobi Tunde came to say that his car was stolen.

“I asked where? He said opposite RCCG Keffi Camp ground. I was embarrassed, because myself and my officers were fully on ground and I was getting updates from them.

“Why didn’t you park at the designated car park? He said that was where he used to park whenever he comes for the programme.

“The designated car parks inside the camp ground are big enough to take more than five thousand vehicles, but because they don’t want to wait any further that is why they park outside.

“I took down his complaints, his details and the photocopy of his particulars and I sent it to the Commissioner of Police in Lafia.

“I also relayed to other Divisions to be on the look out for the said car during their patrol for possible recovery.

“For now, we are yet to receive any information about the car,” she said.

Regional Head of Security at the church who declined to give his name, said the mission through the Continental Overseer had informed congregants through their pastors, that there were allotted car parks for worshippers.
