A
pastor, identified as Wale Fagbere, became motionless while trying to destroy a
shrine in Ketu, a community in Ayetoro, Yewa North Local Government Area of
Ogun State.
It
was gathered that the pastor whose church could not be ascertained as of the
time of filing this report reportedly became motionless and speechless after he
had allegedly destroyed some shrines in the town.
It
was gathered that the cleric was reported to have told his congregation that he
had a revelation to destroy all the shrines in Ketu community.
After
being found transfixed in the shrine, residents of the area raised the alarm,
following which custodians of the shrines came to the place.
The
priests insisted that they had to perform some rites before the cleric could
regain his sense.
The
rites were performed following the intervention of Alaye of Ayetoro, Oba
Abdulaziz Adelakun, who appealed to the priests to ‘release’ him.
The
state acting Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the
incident, adding that the cleric might be charged for “sacrilege and malicious
damage.”
He
said, “The command got the report at its division in Ayetoro that one
Evangelist Wale Fagbere went to Ketu to destroy traditional worshippers’
shrines. After the destruction, the man became motionless and could not talk.
“When
the policemen visited the place, the traditionalists said the subject could not
be taken away until some rites were performed. The victim was revived and
handed over to his family for more spiritual cleansing.”
