Bitrus Albarka, a pastor in Jos, Plateau State, who was arrested for allegedly staging his kidnapping, claims he did it due to financial difficulties.

According to a statement issued by the NPF Plateau State command, the ECWA pastor collaborated with his gangs to extort money from his church members by staging his own kidnap.

JOS PASTOR WAS ARRESTED FOR KIDNAPPING HIMSELF TWICE AND DEMANDING RANSOM FROM MEMBERS OF HIS CHURCH.

“I put myself into these activities because of the financial challenges I am facing,” the cleric said while being paraded on January 12. I felt guilty when I did the first one.

When I left, the money I was carrying had run out. I was considering returning. I was simply perplexed. That’s why I did the second. “I’m sorry for what I did.”

“I burned the vehicle because I was guilty of what I did,” he said, explaining why he burned a vehicle owned by a senior pastor of the church. I was simply perplexed. I have no idea what happened to me. Because I am a pastor, the Holy Spirit would not let me go without confessing my sin.
