The Police In Nsukka Have Arrested A Catholic Priest, (name Withheld) For Allege by abasifo(m): 12:51pm On May 25, 2009
.

The suspect, who is the priest of a parish of the Catholic Church, Nsukka, was arrested on Friday by the Nsukka Divisional Police and transferred to the state Anti-robbery Squad, Enugu, for further investigations.

Our correspondent gathered that the husband of the woman, Chief Reminus Okenyi, had reported the kidnap of his wife to the police on Wednesday when he saw her car in front of his house with just her bag and mobile telephone in the car.

Not long after, he received a telephone call from number 07088619479 and he was asked if he had any problem with the priest who was his cousin. The caller thereafter asked him to make N4m available if he wanted his wife back.

Reminus promised to pay the money, but instead reported to the police who went after the cleric. The investigators visited priest’s residence, but he was not found for two days.

He was, however, arrested at the police station where he came to drop a petition for the Inspector-General of Police.

A police source said the suspect had confessed to the crime and also gave useful information that aided the rescue of the kidnapped woman.

The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Nsukka Urban Police Station, Mr. Ike Mba, confirmed the involvement and arrest of the Catholic Church priest to our correspondent on Sunday.

He stated that the suspect had been transferred to the SARS for further investigations and prosecution.

Meanwhile, the Assistant Commissioner in charge of the SCID, Mr. Damilola Adegbuyi, has defended Mba over allegations that he was abetting criminals in the area.

Adegbuyi explained that the recent protest against the DPO was politically motivated, describing Mba as a disciplined officer who had worked hard to reduce crime in Nsukka area of the state.

To the poster
PLS QUOTE THE SOURCE OF YOUR STORY. IT SOUNDS LIKE A TALE FROM A YELLOW NAGAZINE, I AM SURE THAT NO CATHOLIC PRIEST WILL DESCEND TO THAT LEVEL
