However, the pastor was finally called in for questioning by a team of 4 led by Asst Commissioner of Police, Adaku Uche Anya. Reacting to the arrest, many Nigerians wondered why it took the police this long to arrest the pastor and to this, the Nigerian police through their spokesperson, Frank Mba revealed why they had to delay his arrest. Mba who shared with Punch confirmed that Biodun Fatoyinbo was in their custody, as he added that the police wanted to get statements from several witnesses so they could build a solid case before inviting him.
He said: “We have done a whole lot of background investigations and spoken to a whole lot of people before now. It was a deliberate investigative procedure to bring him last. Although we may invite others later depending on how investigations go. We were not in a hurry to bring him because we wanted to have enough background information that would be used in interrogating him. We have done an extensive investigation.”
