Sundays are supposed to be kept holy, according to the 10 commandments of God. But a 24-year-old robbery suspect, Kelechi Ikechi, confessed that he robs only on Sunday, officially knocking out God’s injunction that people should actually rest on that day and keep it holy.

The Abia State born criminal who is presently detained at the Lagos State Police Command was also ironically arrested on a Sunday during one of his operations at a neighbour’s flat in Ejigbo, on the outskirts of Lagos. He sneaked into the house after the occupiers of the flat had gone for Sunday service.

During interrogation, Ikechi confessed to the robbery at one Peter Ibeh’s house, close to his residence.

Before the fateful day, Ibeh had reportedly complained that every Sunday, his house was robbed, which caused serious arguments among his family members. Thus he decided to trace the guilty party.

According to Ibeh, on the day of Ikechi’s arrest, he hid one of his aides inside their flat and went to church with other members of the family. When the suspect broke in, Ibeh’s aide locked him in from outside and raised the alarm which attracted other neighbours.

The weekend robber was apprehended immediately and handed over to the police.

Speaking about his motives, Ikechi said that he started stealing from people when he lost his factory job. He added that it was reasonable to break into houses on Sundays because people were absent for a long time in churches.© 2014Nigeriafilms.com
