Osun state police command has arrested a 35-year-old man,

Clement Oyetunde with a human skull and other charms at Adeowo area of Modakeke, Osun State.

The state commissioner of Police, Abubakar Marafa while briefing

journalists through the Police Public Relations Officer, Folashade

Odoro in Osogbo the state capital said that Clement was arrested on a

tip-off from some residents of the area.

The police chief explained that the suspect in connivance with one

Wasiu who is now at large buried the human skull inside his house

located at Adeowo area in Modakeke.

Marafa said nemesis caught up with Clement who was perpetrating evil

in his house on the pretext of being a pastor.

Clement 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.

According to Clement “I’m a pastor of the Cherubim & 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”.

He continued: “Few days later, I was sleeping in the house when 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, Ondo state. They insisted that

I must return the skull and the noise was too much for me to bear as

my skull 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.

The PPRO commended the people of the area, especially the landlord

association and the vigilante men for providing necessary information

to the police and aided the arrest of the suspect. Odoro assured that

the police would find Wasiu and that the duo would face the full wrath

of the law.
