Ernest Nwankwo, the General Overseer of Holy Family Ministry, a.k.a House of Mercy, located in the Ogolonto area of Ikorodu, Lagos, who allegedly runs a ritualists’ den, has finally been arrested by the Nigerian police almost a week after he escaped following the arrest of one of his church members who was caught trying to kidnap her neighbour’s 7 year old son.
The woman, Rosemary Chukwu, claimed her pastor had sent her to kidnap the boy for ritual purpose.
According to Vanguard, Nwankwo, who was arrested around Ebute Metta area of Lagos yesterday, is currently at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, Lagos.
Nwankwo has since denied that the building on Oshodi Street in Ikorodu where eight victims were found is a ritualists’ den. He said the building was used to keep lunatics.
