‘Pastor’ found with human skull says ‘I meant to use it to fortify my church land against armed robbers’ - Shepherd Digest Magazine

The white garment 55-year-old Isaiah wore depicted him as a prophet. He also claimed to be one. But the policemen manning the highways in Oyo State Police
Command found it difficult to correlate his claim with the human skull found in his possession on Thursday May 4, along Ibadan-Iseyin road.

However, Isaiah had an explanation: he wanted to use the human skull as fortification to ward off armed robbers from the land on which a branch of his church is being constructed.

The Oyo State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, had told Saturday Tribune on Friday, during a press briefing on the arrest of 18 suspects for different offences, that operatives of Federal Highway Patrol in the state command discovered the human skull in the prophet’s car late on Thursday during a stop-and-search exercise.

According to Odude, “the suspected ritualist, ‘Prophet’ Isaiah was arrested at about 11:30p.m. on his way to another branch of his church at Emini, via Ijaiye in Afijion Local Government Area of the state.”
