The Oyo State
Police Command on Friday paraded a 55-year-old pastor for alleged
unlawful possession of a human head, buffalo horn as well as gun powder
and charms. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the police also
paraded 18 suspects arrested for alleged armed robbery, stealing and
cultism. The Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, told journalists in
Ibadan that the pastor, said to be the founder of Cherubim and Seraphim
Church, Idapomimo Zion, Alagbado, Lagos, was arrested by operatives of
the Federal Highway Patrol during a “stop and search’’ operation.
Mr. Odude said that
the pastor was arrested at about 10:30 p.m. on May 4 on his way to
another branch of the church at Imini in Afijo Local Government Area of
Oyo State. The suspect, on his part, told journalists that he got the
human head during a demolition exercise in Alagbado, Lagos. Mr. Isaiah,
who claimed to be the son of a herbalist, said that he was taking the
human head to the branch of the church at Imini to offer sacrifice in
order to chase away thieves terrorising the area.He, however, said that
such an attitude was not expected from a pastor. Items recovered from
other robbery suspects were eight vehicles, 14 cell phones and 106
rounds of ammunition.
