A clergyman, Pastor Harrison Charles, has been arrested by the Anambra State government for allegedly snatching up to 75 married women from their husbands.
Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Dr Ejimofor Opara, confirmed Harrison’s arrest in a Facebook post.
Harrison’s victims, mostly members of his church, were said to have accused him of forcing them to swap wives and also taking church members’ wives for himself, reports The Nation.
Opara said the clergyman had been handed over to the police, adding that a joint investigation between the Anambra State Police Command and the state government had commenced.
He called on anyone with information on the pastor’s activities to report to the state government.
Opara said: “Pastor Harrison Charles, owner of Day Spring Assembly in Awada, Onitsha, was arrested by operatives of Agunechemba following a viral video containing several allegations against him.
“He is currently being investigated by the police in collaboration with the Anambra State Government.
“During his arrest, about 11 babies were found in his home. He claims to be the father of these eleven babies, stating they are from 11 of his wives.
