GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Jun 2, CMC – Pastor of the Outreach Ministries International Winner’s Cathedral church, Bishop Juan Edghill, is urging the public to help identify the persons seen in a video after fire had been set to the building on Sunday.
In a message posted on his Facebook page, Bishop Edghill, who is also the Minister of Public Works in the Guyana government, said all “tips will be treated with strict confidence.
“We are asking for the public’s help in identifying the individual seen in the video below setting fire to the Outreach Ministries International Winners’ Cathedral church building at 26 Durban Street, Lodge. If you have any information, please contact Juan Edghill jr at 654-5027 or the nearest police station or call 911.”
Bishop Edghill said although the damage and loss are significant, he is extremely grateful for the swift response and commendable efforts of the Guyana Fire Service (GPF) in containing the blaze.
Initially, it was suspected that the fire was electrical in origin, but the surveillance video recording from a building next door captured footage of a man in a hooded jacket entering the bottom flat of church with a bottle in hand just before 5am (local time).
The man was later seen hurrying out of the building, leaving a fire behind.
