A human skull and a ritual staff were among the exhibits uncovered at the proposed synagogue of an acclaimed Enugu prophet, Chinedu Ezedike.
Ezedike made news headlines a few weeks ago when he was arrested for allegedly killing four siblings in his church located at Ibagwa-Aka, Igboeze South LGA of the state.
He was arrested, and his church was subsequently demolished on the orders of the state government.
More revelations about his activities as a satanic prophet were revealed by the Chairman of Igboeze South LGA, Hon Ferdinand Ukwueze, on Monday.
Hon. Ukwueze, in a post on his Facebook page, stated that he, along with the Divisional Police Officer of Igbo-Eze South and other security operatives, two days ago, acting on intelligence, visited a site at Abile Hill, Isi-Agu, Ibagwa-Aka.
According to him, “The location, currently being used for the construction of Prophet Chinedu Ezedike’s so-called Synagogue, was discovered to be a suspected site for ritual activities.
“To our greatest dismay, a human skull and a ritual staff were discovered from the site, lending further credence to the disturbing and tragic circumstances surrounding the claims and allegations against Ezedike.
“The recovered items were duly handed over to the police for further examination as investigations continue.
“More of these hidden locations will be discovered and visited, as we remain relentless in our pursuit against all forms of criminality in our local government area.”
He reassured the people of the LGA that “under the administration of the Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, there will be no hiding place for crimes of any form.
“We are pursuing an egalitarian society where sons and daughters of Enugu State can aspire to and become anything of their choice legitimately without any fear of criminal molestation.”
He appreciated the support of the Nigeria Police, Department of State Services (DSS), the military, the men of Igbo-Eze South Neighbourhood Watch, the Forest Guards, and all well-meaning individuals who provided intelligence and cooperation over the past weeks.”
