Photos: Police Arrests Pastor Behind Serial Car Theft in Abia
Category: Nigeria National News
Operatives of the Abia State Police Command have arrested a pastor,
Onyenweaku Chibunnam, for allegedly stealing a Toyota Camry in Ebem
Ohafia community, of the Ohafia Local Government Area of the state.
Chibunnam was arrested with an accomplice, Prince Nnabugwu, who confessed that they belonged to a car-snatching syndicate.
Parading the suspects at the Police Officers Mess in Umuahia, the state
capital, the Commissioner of Police in Abia State, Leye Oyebade, said
the suspects were arrested after stealing the Toyota Camry from where
its owner packed it last Saturday.
Oyebade added that the suspects, who were arrested on Sunday based on a tip-off, confessed to have stolen six Toyota Camry cars from Aba and sold some of them to one Maxwell in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Chibunnam, who is the founder of a new generation church identified as the Assembly of the Redeemed at Ohafia, said they did not snatch the car, but stole it from where it was parked.
He explained that it was their sixth in the last few months, adding that he usually sold the cars at 60,000 to one Maxwell who resided in Port Harcourt.
He said, “Maxwell contacted me sometime last year to buy my car that I
put up for sale, but he didn’t give me a good price for it, so, I
couldn’t sell it to him. But when I stole an old model Toyota Camry last
year, I called him to come and take the car I stole.
“We started having a misunderstanding when he requested the car’s original papers and I couldn’t provide them. I later told him that I stole the car. Maxwell became more interested in the business and gave me a master key with which I could steal Toyota Camry cars.”
Chibunnam, who said he used the money from the crime to fund his 30-member church, however, blamed the devil for his stealing lifestyle. He promised not to return to crime if he was set free by the police.
Punch correspondent learnt that the owner of the stolen black Camry Saloon had recovered it.
Meanwhile, the Abia State CP has warned criminals in the state to relocate, saying the command would not relent in its war against criminality in the state.
