Police detain officer for masterminding Delta GO’s escape

A mobile police officer, Mr Aminu Abrahim, has been arrested for helping the General Overseer of God’s Delight Gospel Assembly in Warri, Delta State, Pastor Johnmark Ighosoto, to escape

Pastor Ighosoto is being hunted by the police for allegations ranging from conspiracy, cybercrime, and defamation through a viral video against Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin.

Fufeyin, who is the General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, Effurun also in Delta, had petitioned the state Commissioner of Police, Ali Mohammed, over the video clip.

The petition said the video was recorded by his detractors to damage his reputation as a man of God.

However, Inspector Ahrahim who was said to have been a security detail to Pastor Ighosotu reportedly prevented the police team assigned to effect his arrest.
