Police in Blantyre are keeping in custody a 28-year-old Linly Gerald after she was found in Mount Pleasant C.C.A.P Church in Blantyre at around 2AM of Sunday July 24, 2022.

Blantyre Police Deputy spokesperson Sergeant Aubrey Singanyama said the woman has been charged with breaking into a building with intent to commit a felony therein.

According to Singanyama, it is reported that the suspect committed the offence on July 24, 2022 at about 02:00hrs at Mount Pleasant C.C.A.P Church in Blantyre.

Police have gathered that during the said particular time, a security guard at the premises heard a strange sound inside the church building when it was closed.

Upon checking, he found no any sign of breaking of the doors and windows and this prompted him to peep through the window.

He later then noticed some blood stains on window glasses and reported the matter to his supervisor who opened the main entrance door.

“I will not settle for anything less because this nation was meant for greatness. I will not sit idle when I know that God does not want us to worship idols but him alone who will give us the ability, capacity and the strength to create wealth in this land,” he said.

The President appealed for peaceful co-existence among the faithful and ensure that the freedom of worship isn’t infringed and doesn’t infringe others.

In his sermon, based on Philippians Chapter 2 verses 12 to 13 and Acts Chapter 9 verse 33, Founder and President of Fountain of Victory Church International, Apostle Joseph Ziba, urged Christians to understand the responsibilities and roles of helping the country to develop.

The church has over 70 branches across Malawi and is established in South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Republic of Ireland, Philippines and the United Kingdom.
