In related News, hoodlums broke into the Catholic Church in Illah, Oshimili North LGA of Delta State. They stole the Blessed Sacrament, otherwise known as Holy Communion from the tabernacle.

The hoodlums also vandalized the entrance to the tabernacle to gain access to the communion, they also broke into the sacristy and stole sacred books. The bandits who came under the cover of night, made straight to the tabernacle, broke into it to remove the communion before invading the sacristy and carted away the books. A source, which doesn’t want to be named, stated that other materials including cassocks, chasubles, vestments and others were spared.
