An alleged founder of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Idapomimo Zion, Alagbado, Lagos, Prophet’ Isaiah a.k.a Agbojesu, was apprehended on May 4, by security operatives during a stop and search operation, with human head, gunpowder, charms an buffalo horn.
The 55 year old pastor was arrested at about 10:30pm, by the Oyo State Police Command , on his way to another branch of the church at Imini in Afijo Council of Oyo State.
During interrogation, prophet Isaiah , disclosed that : “There was a demolition at Pakoto, Sango, Ogun State, where I reside, and it was there I found the human skull. Unfortunately, armed robbers have been disturbing us at my church branch in Oyo State, so I wanted to use the skull to make some spiritual fortification so that armed robbers would stop disturbing us there.
“The charmed soap found with me is to get favour and mercy. I also intended to bury the horn found with me along with the human skull for the fortification, because it is a large expanse of land. I know human skull may be used for other things but what I intended to use it for was to ward off armed robbers by making the site unattractive for them. All I would do was to mix some herbs with the skull, make some incantations and instruct the skull to ward off armed robbers from that particular area.
“Although I am now a prophet, my father used to be a herbalist. That was how I learnt how to prepare some spiritual potions. But I know that Christianity does not support charms and diabolism. I started my church in 1980. Apart from praying for my church members, I also help them prepare charms that will make people be at ease with them. I used to have about 26 church members, but the prophet who I employed to assist me took the members with him to establish his own church.
“I sincerely apologise and seek forgiveness from God, the government and the people”
