-H-O-CK-E-R: Strange Shrine Found In Osun - Leader Says It’s A Church. Members Worship Only At Night - Founder’s Skeleton, Many Skulls Found Written by Tunde Oyekola A replica of Okija shrine was yesterday discovered at Ido-Osun in Egbedore Local Government Area of Osun State. The traditional ruler of the town, Oba Aderemi Adedapo Sapoyoro and policemen led the people of the town to the shrine discovered on the parcel of land on the Ido-Osun Airport. The policemen forced the shrine open where the skeleton of the supposed founder was recovered. Several skulls and human parts were also recovered in the shrine. The name of the founder of the shrine was given as Jacob Adebayo Oladele. The current leader of the shrine, Ms. Oluwaloni Oladele, claimed that the place was a church and that they worshipped God. She added that the founder of the church was their Jesus Christ, claiming that he transformed and would soon re-appear. She gave the name of the church as Millennium Gospel Mission (MGM). According to her, members of the group do not worship in the day but in the night. She gave the name of the founder as Jacob Adebayo Oladele. No fewer than 15 members of the sect were arrested by the police in connection with the incident. The people of the community had complained to Oba Adedapo who later invited the leader of the group to his palace for interrogation. Ms. Oladele said further that the founder of the group was their own Jesus Christ, adding that people come to the place from across the country to receive blessings. While speaking, Oba Adedapo said that the land where the group was using as shrine belonged to government and that they took no permission from him. He said that his subjects that were using the place to farm had been driven away by the group who allegedly created fears in the minds of people by issuing a warning to the people of the community to steer clear of the area. wonder's shall never end oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in my country, in the name of church |
