Police nabs Pastor over charm buried in church premises

The police in Benin, Edo State arrested one Apostle Ikenna Okafor on Sunday for allegedly burying charm in his church premises in Benin.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the identity of what the suspect buried was unknown though residents around the church, located along Esigie Street in Benin, allege it was a live animal.
The police took away the suspect to avoid being lynched by angry residents who stormed the church.

The spokesman explained that the suspect has made useful statements that will assist the police in their investigation.
