A church pastor has been arrested in Imo state in connection with a kidnapping case and also for possession of Indian hemp. 
 
General overseer of Divine Justice Church, Owerri, Imo State, Pastor 
Clement Ezeigbo, who is currently cooling his heels in the police Anti 
Kidnap Unit of the state police command, told the police: “I don’t know 
anything about kidnapping but I am the owner of the Indian hemp (Igbo) 
but the good thing is that I don’t smoke it but I use it to prepare my 
food. I enjoy eating food prepared with Indian hemp.”

“I don’t think there is anything wrong when you use Indian hemp to 
prepare your food; it gives inspiration and it makes one have sober 
reflection and that is why I recommend it to my Church members. 
 
 I use to
 preach to my members against smoking it but I encourage them to cook 
their food with hemp. “Some of my members do prepare some delicacies 
with it, which they serve me. I love Indian hemp because after eating 
Indian hemp, it gives me inspiration, then when I mount the pulpit, you 
will notice the efficacy of hemp.” Explaining what brought him to the 
police, he told CrimeWatch that “on the fateful day, I was in my Church,
 praying when the police stormed the place, claiming they were looking 
for some kidnappers, who used to hide their victims near my Church. I 
told them that I was not aware of the hideouts of kidnappers. 
 
 You see, 
it was while searching my Church that they saw the Indian hemp. Well, I 
did not deny ownership of the hemp, it belongs to me; I love it.”

When he was confronted by Crime- Watch whether it was right for a man
 of God to indulge in using Indian hemp, he said: “Let any man show me 
where it was written in the bible that thou should not cook with Indian 
hemp.”

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Katsina, told 
CrimeWatch that some kidnappers were living beside the Church. He said 
some victims were rescued by the police, who stormed the scene. Katsina 
said the pastor and other accomplices took to their heels on sighting 
the police. He said the police were able to arrest the pastor.

According to him, when a search was conducted on the Church premises,
 a bundle of Indian hemp was recovered. The CP added that the police 
were on the trail of the runaway kidnappers, who escaped arrest. (CrimeWatch)
