A team of security operatives, led by the Divisional Police Officer of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area, have discovered a suspected human Skull and other items suspected to be meant for rituals in a church in a village in Enugu.
The operatives discovered that they recovered the items after raiding a church building.
The structure, named a synagogue, belongs to one Prophet Chinedu Solomon Ezedike, who is allegedly linked to the heartbreaking murder of four innocent siblings in the area.
The government immediately demolished the structure where the incident occurred in line with the state’s laws.
However, to further investigate the pastor’s activities, the government widened its scope to include his other properties, leading to the latest discovery.
Barr Ferdinand Ukwueze, Chairman of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area, confirmed the sad development in a Monday post on his Facebook page.
He said, “two days ago, yet in the course of combing locations reasonably suspected to be solitary sites and camps of divers shades of criminal activities, acting on intelligence, I visited a site at Abile Hill, Isi-Agu, Ibagwa-Aka, in the company of the Divisional Police Officer of Igbo-Eze South, and other security operatives.
“The location, currently being used for the construction of Prophet Chinedu Ezedike’s so-called Synagogue, was discovered to be a suspected site for ritual activities.
“To our greatest dismay, a human skull and a ritual staff were discovered from the site, lending further credence to the disturbing and tragic circumstances surrounding the claims and allegations against Ezedike. The recovered items were duly handed over to the Police for further examination as investigations continue.
“More of these hidden locations will be discovered and visited, as we remain relentless in our pursuit against all forms of criminality in our Local Government Area.
