Pastor Arrested For Allegedly Killing His Friend For Rituals

If not that the man’s wife called him earlier and
he told her he was in Pastor’s house, no one
would know:
Nigerian Police operatives attached to Ogun State
Police Command have arrested a popular pastor
in the state identified as Pastor Abimbola Alonge,
for allegedly killing his friend, Yusuf Kamilu, for
rituals.
Mr Kamilu’s wife, Adijat, said after her husband
was found at a junction lying half-dead the
following morning, the pastor lied to them on
phone that he traveled.
According to her she said :
“At about 10am when he left the house on
Tuesday, Pastor Alonge called him on phone, and
my husband replied that he was already about
leaving. He promised to come back at about 6pm
because I was not feeling alright too, and I was
even using drugs.
“By 3pm that same day, I called him on phone
again asking whether my ATM card was with him
because I needed to withdraw some money. He
still answered me cracking a joke, and I heard the
voices of about four persons laughing in the
background. He said it was my ATM card that he
was eating now in pastor’s house. That was the
joke, but it made me to know that he was still at
that place [Pastor's house].”
Kamilu allegedly told his wife that his pastor
friend said they were both going to an important
meeting but did not disclose the place to him.
Mr Kamilu, who hails from Abeokuta and was
living on Ade Oshunowo Street, Giwa Junction,
Oke Aro, near Agbado, was said to have visited
Pastor Alonge on June 10, 2014, but he was later
found unconscious and lying at a junction. A
resident, Jinadu said he was deeply shocked to
see Kamilu, 54, lying stone dead. According to
him, the man’s eyes and tongue had been
removed.
Investigation by LEADERSHIP revealed that the
victim was brutally murdered. The incident was
said to have been reported at Ayinla police
division. The policemen were said to have rushed
the victim to the Lagos State University Teaching
Hospital in Ikeja, where he died on Friday, June
13.
The pastor, whose church is known as Exodus
Anointed Church of Christ, located in Adiyan,
Agbado in Ogun State, and Kamilu, a theatre
practitioner, had been friends for about 15 years.
The pastor is said to have married three wives,
but retained only one who gave birth to two
children.
Police sources say the Pastor is undergoing
serious interrogation.
