The Oyo
State Police Command on Friday paraded a 55-year-old pastor over unlawful
possession of a human head, buffalo horn as well as gun powder and charms.
Police say
the pastor was arrested at about 10:30 pm on May 4 on his way to another branch
of the church at Imini in Afijo Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The police
also paraded 18 suspects arrested for alleged armed robbery, stealing and
cultism.
The
Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, told newsmen 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.
The pastor,
on his part, told newsmen that he got the human head during a demolition
exercise in Alagbado, Lagos.
Pastor
Isaiah, said to be the son of a herbalist, said he was taking the human head to
a branch of the church at Imini to offer sacrifice in order to chase away
thieves terrorising the area.
He, however,
admitted that such an attitude was not expected from a pastor.
