The operatives of the Abia State Police Command have arrested an amorous and self-proclaimed Bishop and General Overseer of a new-generation Church/Prayer Ministry (names withheld) preaching on the altar hours after he abandoned a married evangelist in an Aba hotel where they had gone for a sex romp.

The bishop and his married lover, a mother of five, were said to have lodged in a popular guest house located around Ogbor Hill, Aba in Abia State.

It was gathered that the lovers checked into the hotel on Saturday night before the bishop sneaked out pretending that he was going to buy food at about 11 p.m.

It was learnt that the lifeless body of the evangelist was recovered from the hotel on Sunday morning by the officials of the guest house, who suspected foul play.
