Native Doctor Arrested for Killing Pastor for Rituals
In 2020, a horrifying case emerged in Ogun State, Nigeria, when a 48- year- old native doctor, identified as Ogunkoya, was arrested for killing Pastor Ezekiel Kalejaiye and using his body parts for rituals. The chilling incident was uncovered by the Ogun State Police Command during a routine stop- and- search operation along Isoyin Road
DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the State Police Public Relations Officer, disclosed the disturbing details of the crime. According to Ogunkoya’ s confession, the pastor had visited him seeking spiritual powers to attract a larger congregation to his church. However, the native doctor saw an opportunity to use the pastor for his own sinister purposes.
Ogunkoya admitted that he prepared a sleeping solution, which he gave to the pastor. Once the pastor fell into a deep sleep, Ogunkoya used a knife to kill him. He then harvested specific body parts required for a concoction he was preparing for another client.
In his statement, Ogunkoya explained, ” The pastor came to me for power so his church could grow. I used the opportunity to use him for my personal job. I know I have done wrong, but I ask for forgiveness. This one just happened the way it did. ” He claimed to have assisted many people, including other pastors, in the past.
The native doctor’ s arrest sparked outrage and horror among the local community. Pastor Ezekiel Kalejaiye was a respected figure, and his brutal murder shocked those who knew him.
DSP Oyeyemi assured the public that thorough investigations were underway. He stated that Ogunkoya would face murder charges in court once the investigation was completed.
This tragic incident highlights the dangers of desperation and blind trust in unscrupulous individuals. The police have urged the public to be cautious and report any suspicious activities to prevent similar occurrences. Pastor Kalejaiye’ s death serves as a grim reminder of the consequences of engaging with deceitful practices in the pursuit of power or success.
