A pastor, Izuchukwu Anoloba (35), has been arrested along with others for the abduction of a Catholic priest, Fr Fidelis Ekemgba.
Father Ekemba, who is in charge of St. Peters Catholic Parish in Umunohu Amakaohia in Ihitte/Uboma Local Government Area of Imo State, was double-crossed and whisked away by the syndicate.
The priest was held for over one week until he parted with N5 million ransom.
Imo State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Hussaini, said that the pastor was arrested in Lagos.
Pastor Anoloba told journalists that he got N1.5m from the ransom collected from the priest.
“I am a pastor with Apostolic Church of Christ in Lagos. I got N1.5 million 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,” Pastor Anoloba said.
