The cleric was reportedly apprehended after a leaked video surfaced, allegedly showing him in a compromising situation.
One Mr Elijah, the General Overseer of a new-generation church in Port Harcourt, has been arrested by the Rivers State Police Command over alleged homosexuality.
The cleric was reportedly apprehended after a leaked video surfaced, allegedly showing him in a compromising situation.
The PUNCH reported that his troubles began when a male acquaintance, with whom he was allegedly making advances, secretly recorded their interaction and later released the footage.
A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “We don’t know how the Octopus Strike Force of the Rivers State Police Command got hold of the video, but they began tracking the pastor. “Eventually, acting on credible intelligence, officers trailed him to one of his regular hangouts and arrested him.”
During interrogation, the cleric allegedly made confessional statements about his involvement in similar activities with both adults and minors within and outside Port Harcourt.
When contacted, the spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the arrest and disclosed that the suspect had already been arraigned.
“Yes, I can confirm the pastor’s arrest. He is in custody, and investigations are ongoing. In fact, he has already been charged to court,” Iringe-Koko, a Superintendent of Police, said.
