According to the statement, the DPO and his team embarked on Intelligence and technical based investigation which led to the arrest of the prophet at about 5 am on Thursday last week. 

The police recovered dangerous charms from his home. 

The suspect confessed to have committed most of the allegations levelled against him, the police said. 

The culprit said he has been on the run since he heard that Police were on his trail. 

Speaking on the incident, the State Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun,  directed that the suspect be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for thorough investigation. 

He also warned those hiding under the umbrella of religion to perpetrate evils to desist from it or get ready to face the wrath of the law. 

The police commissioner also warned residents to be careful of who they run to for spiritual help as they might be wolves in sheepskin. 

He added that "such persons are out to milk their victims dry before destroying their lives."
