A 65-year-old pastor was on Friday robbed by armed bandits in Kingston, Georgetown. Reports are the incident occurred at about 16:30h after Pastor Durswami Venkatasami of Enterprise, East Coast Demerara (ECD), uplifted his pension. 
According to Venkatasami, he had just left the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) where he uplifted his pension which had stacked up for three months, and as he was in the vicinity of Kingston, he was attacked by the criminals that were armed with knives and a gun.
It is unclear if the men trailed the elderly man from NIS.
However, reports reaching this publication indicated that the men jumped into the path of the pastor’s bus, forcing him to stop. As the vehicle came to a halt, the suspects ran to the driver’s seat and held the pastor at gunpoint, while demanding that he hand over his valuables.
He was relieved of all of his money, his minibus keys, and his cellular phone.
Venkatasami was left traumatised.
