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.
Punch newspaper reported 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.”
