A pastor of a Living Faith Church, a k a Winners Chapel Chapel, Adeniyi John, was Wednesday
evening caught by a mob at Ijomu area of Akure metropolis of Ondo
State with pieces of fried meat suspected to be human parts.
The man was also alleged to be in possession of some fetish items that were kept inside his bag.
An eye witness said the
middle-aged pastor shocked the people in the area when he brought out
pieces of fried meat from his bag, spread them in a tray and started
calling people to come and join him to eat.
This invitation by the pastor
caused the curiosity of the people around who shouted “eran eyan ni,
eran eyan ni” meaning “It is human mean meat, it is human meat, they
have started again”.
While some people suggested
instant judgement for him on the basis of his action and fetish items on
him, others pleaded that he should be taken to the Deji’s palace to
explain his mission with the meat.
The action of Johnson
attracted a large crowd, that was becoming uncontrollable as some of
them insisted that the man should be lynched.
As more people were gathering,
Johnson pleaded that he had just been transferred to Ipogun in Ifedore
Local Government Area branch of the church from Iju/ Ita-ogbolu in Akure
North Local Government.
Amidst confusion, the man was moved to the palace of Deji of Akure, where he was quizzed by chiefs at the palace.
While explaining what led him
to the action, Johnson said he was divinely instructed to go and share
the meat to save his dying son.
He appealed to the people to allow him to go and continue what he called his end time mission based on a revelation from God.
Sensing the rising tension,
the pastor was whisked away to the Area Command headquarters of the
Ondo State Police Command, for further interrogation.
