Robbers loot Bishop Tengatenga residence


Rt Rev James Tengatenga was just named as the new head of the ACC.

Armed robbers raided the official residence of Anglican Church Bishop, Rt Rev James Tengatenga at Namiwawa in Blantyre going away with computers and cash.

Police at Chilomoni confirmed the incident but referred Nyasa Times reporter to Blantyre Police Station. They also said the Bishop’s hired guards were arrested for questioning.

However, Blantyre Police Station spokesperson Elizabeth Divala was not available as his phone went unanswered after several attempts.

A source at the Anglican secretariat told Nyasa Times, the robbers raided the residence on Wednesday night and took away two laptops and three desktop computers, hard cash and some foreign currencies particularly the Sterling Pound and American Dollars.

“Everything was valued at K1.6 million,” said the source.

He said at the time of the incident the Bishop was outside the country and it happened two days before Bishop Tengatenga was elected the new Chairperson of the Anglican Consultative Council beating four candidates who had been nominated.
