Police in Rivers State have arrested a Port Harcourt-based pastor, identified as Elijah, over allegations of homosexuality.

The man, in an attempt to gather evidence, played along and filmed the pastor in a compromising position before demanding sex.

Sources said the leaked footage caught the attention of the Octopus Strike Force, a special unit of the Rivers State Police Command, which began tracking the pastor.
Acting on intelligence, operatives arrested him at a relaxation spot in the city.
During interrogation, the pastor reportedly provided information about his activities involving both male adults and minors within and outside Port Harcourt.
Police spokesperson Grace Iringe-Koko confirmed the arrest on Tuesday, stating that the suspect had been taken into custody and charged to court.
