The Anambra State government has detained a well-known priest for reportedly kidnapping up to 75 married women from their husbands.

In a Facebook post, Dr. Ejimofor Opara, the Governor's Special Advisor on Media, confirmed his detention.

He was accused by his victims, who were primarily churchgoers, of coercing them into exchanging marriages and stealing churchgoers' wives for himself.

He said: “A popular Anambra cleric 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 eleven babies were found in his home. He claims to be the father of these eleven babies, stating they are from eleven of his wives.

“He also claims he does not know the number of wives he has married or the total number of children he has.
