The State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba has released Dr. Sign Fireman on bail after receiving orders from above.
The flamboyant and controversial Pastor whose real name is Ofuche Ukoha was arrested last week after being implicated in the murder of a 12 year old hawker by her killer Ikechukwu Egbo.
18 year old, Egbo told police detectives, that the Pastor told him to bring him the faeces of a dead virgin. He was reportedly tasked after begging the Pastor for alms to celebrate the Christmas holiday.
The suspect said, “I attend Perfect Christianity Mission Headquarters around Ketu Street, Aguda, but I live with my parents in Badagry. I just finished secondary school and I have been very broke. So, I approached Pastor Sign Fireman for money, but he told me that I should strangulate a little girl.
“He explained that while strangulating the girl, she would pass out faeces in the throes of death. The pastor said I should obtain the faeces and bring it to him. He said if I could do this, he would give me N100,000.
“So, on December 30, 2013, I approached a young girl, Bose Ogoja. Her mother sells food in Badagry and I usually patronise them, so she trusted me. I told the girl that I wanted to show her something and she should follow me. I took her to an abandoned NITEL building and locked the door.
“I pressed her neck tightly and she passed out faeces. I was however not able to get the faeces because I was caught before I could escape.”
A source at the SCID said he did not know the rationale behind why Sign Fireman was bailed but that the orders came from above.
