There was pandemonium in Ipinsa community, Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State after a coffin was discovered in the foundation of a church building.
The shocking discovery was made by some members of the church who then called the attention of the traditional ruler of the town to the development even as some members of the community had already begun throwing stones and other objects at the pastor, identified as Biodun.
According to reporters Abiodun had allegedly buried a coffin and some other fetish items in the piece of land used as church in Ipinsa community.
Following the discovery, the traditional ruler of the community, Oba Omoniyi Olufunmilayo, ordered that the pastor’s land and his house located at Ayedun area of Akure should be sealed with palm fronds.
“After discovering what the pastor did on the land, the community asked him to remove the items but the pastor refused, hence the action of the youths,” a source said.
“The failure of the pastor to remove the fetish items on the land prompted the people of the community to take action against him. They don’t want him to turn any part of the community to his shrine.
“The Akapinsa of Ipinsaland, Oba Omoniyi Olufunmilayo ordered that palm fronds should be placed in front of his house and the land which traditionally means the house has been sealed up and nobody can enter the properties until the Kabiyesi reversed the order.”
