There was a mild drama in Akure, the Ondo State capital, when a self- acclaimed pastor with one of the Pentecostal churches, was arrested for allegedly hawking fetish items.
The pastor, Adeniyi Johnson, said to be mentally challenged, was arrested by resident of Ijomu in Akure metropolis while hawking the items as fried meat in the area. The pastor, according to eyewitness account, brought out the items from his pocket and put them inside a tray before hawking.
Vanguard gathered that those who saw him immediately raised alarm and were trying to lynch him before some elders intervened and suggested he should be taken to the Oba’s palace. Reports had it that the suspect, who is in police custody, was formally in the Iju/Ita Ogbolu branch of the church, before he was transferred to Ipogun branch. When he was reportedly quizzed by the palace chiefs, the suspect said he was divinely instructed to share the items so as to save his ailing son.
On hearing his confession, the crowd that followed him to the palace attempted to stone him to death, but the palace chiefs reportedly prevented them as the suspect was taken into the inner chambers of the Oba. The suspect reportedly told the chiefs that his son was dying and that unless people eat the fried meat he was hawking that the son might not survive. He was said to have pleaded with those who arrested him to allow him finish what he had started so as to save his dying son. The chiefs later arranged for his transfer to the custody of the Police.
Vanguard learned that he is being detained at the Police Area Command headquarters of the state for interrogation. Sources at his church revealed that he had been sacked over a month ago to enable his family take care of his mental problem.
*FOR REAL?you people should be careful how you buy and eat stuff like this,imagine!
But chill Stella, u fit buy this kind meat if u see am :-) Frankly speaking, why are Nigerians always acting barbaric? Why attempt to lynch him? He is obviously mentally deranged and should be committed to a psychiatric home. It is well
ReplyDeleteThank you Jare
DeleteA full grown man hawking fried meat
Why are you trying to act as if you don't know what's happening around... I don't see anything with a full grown man hawking wares to make ends meet
DeleteI thought as much! This man is a sick man and u will be surprised there is no son anywhere. Who will buy this kind of meat frm him if the person is also not mad??? Make dem carry am enter psychiatric hospital biko.
DeleteHe doesn't look sick jare
DeleteHe should be jailed for life.
We don't need his type in this world
The church is to blame. They knew he had mental challenges and yet they transferred him to another zone to pastor the church? Or am I missing something? How can a mentally challenged person be a pastor? Yet they didn't inform the new church he was sent.. very unfair.
DeleteNot unless that mental story is false, he prolly has a spiritual obligation to fulfil truly. Whether it is meant for his son or not is another matter. Is the meat human meat or goat meat? Where are his family members to confirm the veracity of his gist?
So he was hawking fried meat in suit, that alone will attract attention which I think is why he was caught. If he looked rugged and sat behind a kiosk selling the meat, they would have finished buying and eating the meat without suspecting anything. God save us
Fake pastor.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm!!
End time "O" pastor.
ReplyDeleteEnd time 'O'loobuuku eunuch.
DeleteJames, I'm your hater... I will troll on you the way you troll others
DeleteLMAO @ Jame's hater.
DeleteU r welcome.
Hmmmmm, you claim to be a pastor but you can't pray for your son's healing. God have mercy
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with pastors these days? They are just destroying people's faith. Dts how one mfmm pastor from UEL Beckton was gbenshing vulnerable girls dt come for prayers and my friend fell into his trap. He not only gbensh her but defrauded her and told her to go and report him to the church dt nothing will happen. When she email the church, they ignored her and pastor is busy laying hands on ppl. I'll rather stay at home and pray abeg.
ReplyDeleteYour friend did not fall into any trap, she went for "sexual healing" and when she discovered she was #213 on the list, she turned around to cry wolf. Run girls tinz...she thinks her in between has the power to solve her problems
DeleteMFMM pastor? As in Mountain of fire ministries? In London? I refuse to believe this o.
DeleteWonderment!
ReplyDeleteThe man is mentally deranged. May God heal him. Maybe he was into fetish stuff before God decided to punish him with madness.
ReplyDeleteFool! God doesn't punish people with madness
DeleteIf his child is really sick I don't blame but if he is doing it for Something negative or evil then thunder should visit him.
ReplyDeleteWow! I hope you're not a Christian
DeleteI'm sure you won't blame me when I harvest your father's kidneys & liver to save my alcoholic girlfriend. It is you that thunder will visit for championing take someone else's life to save another...in fact I suspect you're working with that thief
Deleteand the church couldn't pray for him...smfh.

Buy fried meat from a well dressed man in suit
ReplyDeleteWe all need to watch and pray
ReplyDeleteSee fair weather people everywhere, when he was mentally sound he was celebrated as one of their pastors but when he became ill they sacked him and handed him over to his family members to go cure him. This is not fair, why won't the church take up the responsibility of caring for him at this time that he needs them the most? They just treated him like a common employee.
ReplyDeleteThank God he was not leached by the angry mob, help will locate you pastor, btw, the economic situation of the country is enough to make someone go mental sef.
I'm not suprised...
ReplyDeleteIs it not yaraba people again?...that's what they are known for!...

Who go buy fried meat from a suited man? Fear no go catch the person?
ReplyDeleteAll these pastors whoever is believing them, it's at ur detriment. Only believe what you read in the bible. And for all dos who pastor has chased away dere husbands in d name of he is not ur husband ndo.
ReplyDeleteThat is how I went to see a pastor that is my friends pastor on husband matter. The 1st time I went dere he claimed to see vision. That I will marry a very wealthy man, he will be well known dis one dat one, I said okay. No be say I ask am, na follow follow I do.
Months later, I escorted again, another revelation. I will marry a not so rich man, we wld have to struggle together. But that will be my husband.
I just thot in my mind, 6mtns ago u said smthn. 6mths later smthn different. Which am I to believe. I go to church Sundays, read my bible, pay my thithe and talk to "my God" myself.
Not saying we don't have good pastors out dere, but among the good there are also many fake. Don't let them play with ur destiny and lead you astray from that man you know in ur heart treats you well and is good for you.
That is why we need the spirit of discernment
DeleteReal end time pastor.
ReplyDeleteAnybody that will buy meat from a grown man wearing suite and hawking meat, dat person sef needs to be checked out at Yaba left along with the pastor.
Mothers also be careful of all dese your neighbours that will share food to your kids claiming they are doing birthday or just celebrating smthn. Sum ppl as charms are told to cook for neighbourhood children, cld be to "heal" their own child or for money rituals. Iv watched it in films.
No bi the "O" people again?
ReplyDeleteJuju and fetish na dem get am.
Even dia pastors r not exempted.
