Anambra State government has confirmed the arrest of a clergy man, Pastor Harrison Charles, owner of Day Spring Assembly in Awada, Onitsha, who has been accused of taking up to 75 married women from their husbands and made them his wife.
Several allegations in video forms have flooded the social media of confessions and accusations of his victims and their relatives who claimed the clergy man sometimes swaps wives with other people’s husbands in his church, and outrightly taking some other people’s wives for himself.
Since the Anambra State government began their crackdown on fake pastors, which led to the arraignment of eight of them in court, many victims of fake pastors have been coming up to reveal their ordeals in the hands of these men.
Though there was controversy over the arrest of Pastor Harrison Charles, which some people saying he has not yet been arrested. But Special Adviser to the governor of Anambra State on Media, Dr Ejimofor Opara in a post on Facebook said the clergy man has been arrested.
He added that he has been handed over to the police, and that a joint investigation between the Anambra State Police Command and the State government has commenced, while calling on anyone who has facts about his dealings with the pastor should feel free to reach Special Adviser to the Governor on Community Security, Mr. Ken Emeakayi for testimonies.
Ejimofor 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 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.
“While investigations continue, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Community Security, Mr. Ken Emeakayi, has urged anyone with additional information to report it to the State Government via 08034182108.”
