A pastor, identified as Oyenekan Oluwaseyi, from the Christ Liberty Evangelism Church, Rosco, Iyana Iyesi, Ota, along with three others, has been arrested in the Saje Area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria.
The suspects were apprehended with a human skull and other items in their possession.
According to reports, Oluwaseyi and his three accomplices, identified as Ibrahim Agbowewe (30 years old), Suleiman Ogunbunmi (40 years old), and Gafari Akinsanya (57 years old), were arrested by the Ogun State Police Command on a tip-off from members of the public who had observed their suspicious activities.
The suspects have reportedly confessed to their intentions to use the human skull for rituals, believed to be associated with blessings and money-making rituals. The police have recovered additional items, including a large calabash, a black Toyota Camry car, and a ram.
The investigations into the case are ongoing, with authorities looking to gather further details about the incident. The incident highlights the continued challenge of ritualistic practices in some parts of Nigeria, where individuals engage in superstitious beliefs and actions, often involving the use of human body parts. The police are actively working to address such cases and bring the culprits to justice.
While the law enforcement agencies take action against those involved in such illegal activities, awareness campaigns and education about the dangers of these rituals are essential to deter individuals from participating in such practices.
