According to Babafemi, High Priest Nnodu was arrested on Saturday, February 11, at his Seraphic and Sabbath Assembly church located at No. 1, Sabbath Close, Ijesha area of Lagos, following the arrest of two suspects: Oyoyo Mary Obasi and theology student, Udezuka Udoka, on Thursday, February 9 at the Lagos airport in connection with the seizure of 283 parcels of skunk weighing 14.90 kilograms and 204 grams of methamphetamine concealed in four 25-liter kegs of palm oil for export to Dubai.

In her statement, Mary indicted the General Overseer of her new church, Nnodu, and his son, Chisom Obi, who is now at large, as the persons who gave her the consignments for export after being forced to take an oath of secrecy as well as a chicken sacrifice in the church while High Priest Nnodu prayed for her for the success of the transaction.

Spilling the beans on how she was recruited by her church’s GO, Mary said the clergyman and his son used threats to compel her to take the job after they knew she knew their secrets, adding that High Priest Nnodu was always referring to the illicit drugs as “Ice and Bible” (street names for methamphetamine and cannabis) in their telephone text message chats.

The theology student, Udezuka, was introduced to Mary to assist her because she was new in the illicit business. Udezuka said he was paid N2 million for his role and had to do it because he needed the money for his education.
