FCT Police Arrest Man Claiming to Be Pastor Over Alleged Interstate Car-Theft Ring
The FCT Police Command says it has arrested Edwin Nwabueze, who identified himself as a pastor, over his alleged involvement in an interstate vehicle-theft syndicate. Police said a Toyota Camry was stolen at UTC Plaza in Garki, Abuja. Nwabueze was arrested at his residence on October 27, 2026, following an investigation into the theft. Operatives later arrested a second suspect, Sadiq Jamiu. Police say preliminary findings linked Nwabueze to earlier vehicle-theft cases in Benue State and suggest the suspects may be involved in stealing and selling vehicles across several states. The suspects remain in custody as investigations continue. Police say they will be charged after the investigation is concluded.
