According to Pastor Anthony Obo of God’s Commandment Ministry in Cross Rivers state, who was reportedly arrested last week after the heart of an eighteen-month-old baby was allegedly found in his church, ‘the ritual items found in his church are nothing but drama costumes.
The pastor stated this while been paraded alongside five others before newsmen yesterday, when he said the ‘occult items’ found in his church were costumes which the youths in his church recently used for a drama presentation while the blood found in a bucket in his church was from a goat and a chicken he killed to celebrate his baby’s dedication last week. In his words, he said;
“The red chairs covered in white sheet and the black bag and other occult items were used by the youth of my church for art and drama presentation, while the blood in the red bucket is that of the goat and chicken I killed to celebrate the dedication of my child who was one year last week.”
But according to the state police command’s public relations officer, Irene Ugbo, who paraded the suspects, another suspect in police custody confessed to have been sent by the pastor to kidnap and kill the baby, whose heart was found in a basin in the church.
“The heart has been sent to the University of Calabar for forensic examination, while we are investigating where the body of the baby was dumped or buried,” she said
She added that the police is presently investigating the photos of different persons found in Pastor Anthony’s church, who the state chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria PFN has distanced themselves from, saying they do not know him as a pastor in the state.
