A self-professed pastor has been nabbed in Abia state for his alleged involvement in car theft.
The yet-to-be-named pastor was said to be linked to a car robbery syndicate in the Amaekpu-Ohafia area of the state.
According to a Facebook user, Airo Brown, who shared the photos, the pastor was caught stealing a car in the area.
The user tagged the photos thus: ‘This pastor is behind all the missing cars in Ohafia. He has been captured through the vigilante group in Amaekpu-Ohafia. These are missing car plate numbers, so check if yours is here!!!”
He was beaten to a pulp and tied up by irate mob including a vigilante group who reportedly caught him in the act.
Other items like several vehicle license plates and car keys were said to have been found in his possession.
Although the police is yet to comment on the incident as at press time, the self-acclaimed pastor reportedly confessed to the crime.
