Church Member Caught Wearing 7-year-old Neighbour's Pant and Bra for Ritual at Night in Lagos (Photos)

Tension rose at a street in Lagos state on Saturday midnight as a man was caught in an attempt to fulfill ritual requirements with the daughter of his landlord. 

A man identified as brother Hyacinth has been arrested in Lagos for wearing the pant and bra belonging to his 7-year-old neighbour, Ijeoma, for alleged ritual. He was nabbed by some soldiers at Oduloju street, Sabo-Oniba at around 3a.m on Saturday, while fulfilling a ritual requirement.

 

According to an exclusive report by Naaija, the Abia state indegene who lives in a room with his wife and children, allegedly owns over five shops with the business name ‘A.Y’ in ASPAMDA trade fair complex and 7 plots of land at Igbede.

His neighbours said that he is very kind and generous. He has, reportedly, assisted his landlord since he packed in and has offered driving his children to school. He is a Deeper Lifer member and is popularly know as ‘brother.’

 

An eyewitness revealed that the soldiers who caught him while performing the ritual on a bridge in the area, had heard a recurring chant of incantations with the name "Ijeoma" and quietly moved closer to the direction of the voice.

However, the suspect noticed their presence and ran away, but the soldiers pursued and tracked him to his house where the wife pleaded for mercy but the case was subsequently handed over to the Oduloju community.

 

He was later transferred to the Sabo-Ajangbadi police station where he is currently being detained.
