KUALA LUMPUR – After being investigated for 10 days for alleged sexual offences in Shah Alam, a celebrity preacher was arrested and will be moved to the Petaling Jaya police headquarters for another probing session.

Petaling Jaya police chief ACP Nik Ezanne Mohd Faisal said this follows another two reports lodged against the 25-year-old preacher in the district, adding that the remand application will be made tomorrow after the remand order for Shah Alam police ends today.

“This is to enable us to investigate another two reports involving rape and harassment, as well as carnal intercourse against the order of nature, which we received earlier,” he said in a statement today.

On November 26, the suspect was detained at Shah Alam police headquarters and was remanded for five days beginning November 27, after the first report was lodged against him.

However, the remand was extended for another five days, starting December 2 until today, following another report.

Selangor Criminal Investigations Department chief Datuk Fadzil Ahmat said they had received eight reports involving the celebrity preacher, adding that two were classified as “no further action”. – Bernama, December 6, 2020
