Umaru pleaded guilty to the two-count charge of burglary and stealing before the court and confessed that he prefers to steal in churches because it is easier to do so as he does not need to carry arms or go with anybody for operations.
The suspect, who was initially a scavenger, confessed that he went into full time stealing in churches some years ago after the death of his father who had served with the Nigerian Army.
He said he had stolen in many churches in the area and sometimes got a lot of money.
Umaru was caught in the act when he burgled the Redeemed Christian Church of God.
He had initially broken into Anglican Church but when he did not find any money in the offering box, he stole some musical instruments and went away with them.
Not satisfied with his success that night, he went to the Redeemed Christian Church of God to steal and while he broke into the church, a security man raised the alarm and he jumped into the next house to escape.
While he was trying to escape, he was caught with the stolen items by some of the residents of the area and handed over to the police at Oko-Oba division.
