A Nigerian-based Pastor has been apprehended for allegedly kidnapping and killing one of his church members whose name was given as Princewill Ezeji.
The Pastor identified as Michael Mbonu is now in the grip of the police for allegedly killing the church member.
The state Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Ladodo in a statement said that apart from the prophet, four other suspects were also arrested for murdering the graduate of philosophy.
He indicated that the arrest of the suspect was as a result of digital analysis led by the Police commander, Godfrey Victor.
He said the deceased had gone missing after buying a vehicle.

“Five persons were subsequently arrested. They are Mbonu Michael, 27; a prophet, Kingsley Udemba, 24; Nwogu Anslem, 59; Blessing Michael, 25 and Chidinma Godwin, 27.
It is important to note that on August 3, the deceased, Princewill Eleji, a graduate of Philosophy, bought a Lexus vehicle and went to see his prophet, Michael Mbonu.
From that date, the victim was nowhere to be seen. While that was going on, one Kingsley Udemba, a close friend, showed up and claimed that the victim went missing because he defrauded him.
“The parents of the missing person had to raise N960,000 and paid Udemba, yet the boy was not released. Upon investigation and through digital analysis, though Kingsley collected the ransom as agreed, he had no knowledge about the victim’s whereabouts.
“The prophet who was following the parents to look for Princewill was indicted. On interrogation, he confessed to the crime. He took operatives to see the decomposed corpse of the victim. The victim’s car, telephone and sim card were recovered. Charms and Bible were also recovered,” he said when addressing the media.
