The police in Edo State arrested one Apostle Ikenna Okafor for allegedly burying charm in his church premises in Benin yesterday
It was reported that the identity of what the suspect buried is unknown even though residents around the church located along Esigie St. in Benin alleged it was a live animal.
The police went with the suspect to avoid him being lynched by angry residents who stormed the church.
An eyewitness, Mr Chinedu Nnamdi, said his father woke him up by 2am of sunday morning to watch what the Pastor was doing.
According to the witness, 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 is still under investigation.
The spokesman explained that the suspect had made useful statements that will assist the police in their investigation.
