State.osun-thieve suspectThe state Commissioner of Police, Abubakar
Marafa made this disclosure while briefing newsmen, at the headquarters
of the Police command. He hinted that the suspect’s arrest was made
possible through a tip off from some residents of the area.Speaking
through the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mrs Folasade Odoro,
the Police boss said Clement, in connivance with one Wasiu, who is now
at large, buried the human skull inside his house, located at Adeowo
area, Modakeke.
According to him, the suspect, who confessed to the
crime, said some unseen spirits were chasing him in the dead of the
night and forced him to reveal how the human skull was buried in the
house, which he was using as church.Responding to question from
journalists, Clement said “I am a pastor of the Cherubim and Seraphim,
Oke-Itura parish, Adeowo area of Modakeke in Osun State. It was Wasiu
that brought the skull to me. We buried it at my backyard. Wasiu left
immediately and I don’t know his whereabouts, now.“Few days later, while
I was sleeping in the house, I heard strange voices singing and
drumming in Christian way as if they were worshiping. The tune suddenly
changed into traditional song and some invisible spirits started telling
me that I should return the skull of Iya-Osun.”
“They told me
that the skull we buried in my house was Mama Osun’s skull and that the
woman was from Ondo in Ondo State. They insisted that I must return the
skull and the noise was too much for me to bear as my head was
swelling.“That was why I ran out from the house and called for help so
that the spirits would not kill me inside the house. It was then that
the people in my area gathered and they eventually called the police,”
Clement narrated.While commending the people of the area, especially the
landlord association and the vigilante men for providing useful
information that culminated in the arrest of the suspect, Marafa assured
that the police would apprehend Wasiu, stressing that the duo would
face the full wrath of the law.
