Oyo State Police
Command 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 other suspects arrested.
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 terrorizing the area.
He, however, said that such an attitude was not expected from a pastor.
