Later, Whitehead recalled the entire incident, including how the perpetrators seized his possessions while pointing a gun at his head. In addition to the clergyman’s bishop’s cross, they took his watch and many chains. He claimed that the attackers took his clergy collar off against his will in order to get at his chains. He thinks the shooters were unaware they were being recorded.

The wife of the pastor was also robbed, and all of her jewelry was seized. The thieves fled the scene of the theft on foot before getting into their white Mercedes-Benz. The total amount of stolen products was close to $1 million.
In an Instagram post, Whitehead bemoaned the attack and revealed that many members of his flock, including children, had been frightened. He also revealed that his 8-month-old daughter’s cheek had been touched by a gun.
He was furiously angry that this had occurred in his church. You destroyed the church, where I’m sure your grandmother worships God and Jesus, he remarked. You have no justification for entering a church and breaking its rules.

The pastor has also come under fire for starting out with such pricey possessions. In response to the criticism, he stated, “It’s about me buying what I want to buy,” according to Mr. Whitehead. “If I worked hard for it, it’s my right to buy what I want to buy.”
Additionally, he expressed his gratitude that it was not a mass shooting, as other congregations have experienced. and made a commitment to return to preaching as normal on Sunday.
In addition, he is offering a $50,000 reward to anyone who comes forward with information that can result in the robbery’s perpetrators being apprehended.
