The police in Benin
arrested one Apostle Ikenna Okafor on Sunday for allegedly burying charm in his
church premises in Benin.
The
identity of what the suspect buried was unknown even though residents around
the church located along Esigie St. in Benin alleged it was a live animal.
The
police took away the suspect to avoid being lynched by angry residents who
stormed the church.
An
eyewitness, Mr Chinedu Nnamdi, said his father woke him up around 2 a.m. on
Saturday night to watch what the Pastor was doing.
According
to him, the pastor buried something in front of the church and later performed
a little ritual by walking round the church several times.
Confirming
the report, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Edo Police Command, DSP
Osifo Abiodun, said the suspect was under investigation.
The
spokesman explained that the suspect has made useful statements that will
assist the police in their investigation.
