Human skull, ritual items recovered in Enugu church

A team of security operatives, led by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area in Enugu State, raided a church building under construction and recovered a human skull in the process.

The structure, named Synagogue, belongs to one Prophet Chinedu Solomon Ezedike, who is allegedly linked to the heartbreaking murder of four little siblings.

It could be recalled that the four children were weeks back gruesomely murdered in the council area, attracting outrage from Enugu people and beyond.

Following the incident, the structure where the incident occurred was immediately demolished by the government.

But to further probe the pastor’s activities, the government widened its scope to his other property, leading to the latest discovery.

This was confirmed by the Chairman of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area, Ferdinand Ukwueze, in a post on his Facebook page, Monday.

He said: “Two days ago, yet in the course of combing locations reasonably suspected to be solitary sites and camps of diverse shades of criminal activities, acting on intelligence, I visited a site at Abile Hill, Isi-Agu, Ibagwa-Aka, in the company of the Divisional Police Officer of Igbo-Eze South, and other security operatives.

“The location, currently being used for the construction of Prophet Ezedike’s so-called Synagogue, was discovered to be a suspected site for ritual activities.”
