Wonders, they say, shall never cease. At St. Mary's Parish in Jos,
Plateau State, it's mysterious to the leadership and members of the
church how N300,000 that was realised as collection suddenly turned into
bundle of papers.
The strange
incident happened at the banking hall of Zenith Bank main branch in
Jos, where the Church Secretary, Miss Ifeoma Eze had gone to deposit the
whole collection that day.
Ifeoma explained that the money was
intact when she left home for the bank but on getting to the counter she
could not fathom how the money turned into pieces of paper when she
opened the polythene bag that contained the money.
She was so
confused and scared that she started screaming and was oblivious of the
attention she was attracting as bewildered customers tried to console
her.
Miss Ifeoma said she was particularly confused because she
was wondering how to relay the story to the Parish Priest who entrusted
the money to her.
"It is a story I find difficulty in telling anyone because not many people can believe it,'' she added.
Confirming
that she actually took the "real" money with her, Miss Ifeoma said she
even changed the smaller denominations into bigger ones to ease the
deposit processes in the bank.
Although some members of the
church thinks there was a foul play somewhere, but Rev. Father Emmanuel
Ray-Ikpe, the Parish Priest, described the incident as "unfortunate,
surprising and mysterious".
"I have never heard of such a thing
before but it has happened to us; to our Church. There is nothing we can
do about it. My secretary came back from the bank crying. Only God
knows what exactly happened... We have left everything in the hands of
God our creator,'' the Reverend Father said.
