The Delta State Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Mustafa, has confirmed the arrest of a popular Nigerian pastor known as Rev. Ignatius Ogboi of Salvation Army Church, Mbiri.
Briefing newsmen, the Police boss said 3,871 live cartridges, a loaded English made double barrel gun, over N4 million and Tramadol were recovered from the pastor.
 Mustafa, further stated that Ogboi, 51, was sponsoring kidnappers and armed robbers operating within Agbor and Umunede and its environs.
The cleric, who admitted ownership of the exhibits, however, denied the suspected case of kidnapping, illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition and prohibited drugs, including Tramadol, levelled against him.

Ogboi said he only helped the vigilantes in his community to procure the recovered items found in his possession after they complained that they were buying them at exorbitant rates elsewhere.
