Gya: Gunman terrorizes church

LEADERS of an East Coast Demerara church whose members were attacked and robbed by a lone gunman are seeking police protection at night services.

The man robbed three members of the New Testament Church of God Worship Centre at Vryheid’s Lust and a female passerby just outside the building on Saturday night, minutes before a ceremonial convention was scheduled to start.

The Assistant Pastor of the church yesterday said that members have been worshipping in fear for some time now because the area is dismal and without street lights.

The three members of the church, at Lot 36 E Vryheid’s Lust Main Road, were confronted by a lone gunman and robbed of cash and jewellery.
