The police in Rivers State have arrested Prophet Umeke Miracle, the leader of Dynamic Flame of Fire Ministries, for allegedly detaining his wife, Success, in their home for five days.
According to the Rivers State Police Commissioner, CP Olugbenga Adepoju, Prophet Miracle was taken to the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for further investigation.
The arrest followed a police operation led by DPO Abacha, who freed Success from a house in the GRA area of Port Harcourt. Reports indicate that she had been held against her will and denied communication with her family.
Success later told the police that her husband had been financially controlling her since their marriage in 2017, forbidding her from opening a bank account or handling money while also failing to provide for her personal needs.
In an attempt to gain financial independence, Success secretly opened an account and started a small business. However, her husband allegedly discovered the account, accused her of theft, and forcibly confined her.
Prophet Miracle denied the accusations, insisting he should be spoken to first instead of his wife. He was later taken in for questioning after initially requesting to preach in church before meeting with the police.
The case is now under investigation by the Rivers State Police.
