Dr. Mefor stated that investigations have commenced to determine the authenticity of the allegations levelled against the cleric.
According to him, “If the allegations are verified, he will be charged to court for prosecution.”
The commissioner appealed to residents of the state, especially members of Pastor Charles’ church, to remain calm and maintain peace while investigations continue.
With his arrest, Pastor Charles becomes the ninth pastor apprehended by the Anambra State Government within the last three weeks over alleged questionable religious practices.
