The police had three months ago launched a manhunt for Ezuma, the founder of Jesus Intervention Household Ministry in Ejigbo.
After weeks of evading arrest, the police eventually caught him at his residence following tip-off.
He was declared wanted after an alleged male prostitute, Prince Chinecherem, was arrested and charged to court after a 16-year-old victim, Anthony Ikem, made revelations that implicated them.
Ikem, who was found sneaking out of the suspect’s home with a polythene bag containing used condoms and other items, was accosted by neighbours and he confessed he was one of several sex partners of the pastor.
Ikem, according to the police, also confirmed that the Ezuma usually gave them to service some of his male clients, including VIPs.
On the strength of his confessions, the teenager was taken to the hospital for checks and it was discovered he was HIV positive, a status Ezuma was alleged to have lived with for over three years.
It was gathered that some residents of the community were worried he was corrupting their male children and initiating them into the club, hence, their keen interest to see that he was arrested and prosecuted.
Pressure is reportedly being mounted on police from high quarters to release Ezuma prompting the security operatives to move him to the Gender Section at the Police Command Ikeja.
