An Apostolic Church of Christ Pastor, Izuchukwu Anoloba, and others have been arrested by operatives of the Imo State Police Command for kidnapping a Catholic priest, Fidelis Ekemgba.
The state Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Hussaini, while parading the suspects asserted that, the suspects held the priest for over seven days and made him to pay a ransom of N5million to them.
The CP described the syndicate as a deadly one, affirming that the pastor was arrested in Lagos following intelligence gathering by men of the anti-kidnapping unit of the command.
The priest, 45, who is in charge of St. Peters Catholic parish in Umunohu Amakaohia in the Ihitte/Uboma Local Government Area of the state, was double-crossed and whisked away by his abductors.
Commending his men for an excellent job, the CP said that he would continue to make the state uncomfortable for criminals.
35 years old, Anoloba told journalists that he got N1.5million from the ransom the priest paid them.
“I am a pastor with Apostolic Church of Christ in Lagos. I got N1.5million from the kidnap of the priest. I never knew I would be arrested. I regret my actions because I am now a disgrace to the body of Christ and my family.”
