Men of the Cross-river police command have rrested the Pastor of United Evangelical Church, Michael Bassey, 45, for unlawful possession of a human skull.
According to the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Sikiru Akande, the pastor was arrested upon the police receiving a complaint from a concerned citizen on the threat to life. He said that the suspect was arrested at his residence in the state.
“The suspect was arrested with one human skull tied with the complainant’s picture and carved human image with red clothes. Investigation is still ongoing and the suspect will be arraigned in court,” he said
Bassey, however, claimed innocence as he told reporters that he was not into any diabolical act. “I don’t know anything about this human skull. I am innocent of the charges against me,” he said.
