A Pentecostal Pastor, Wale Fagbere, was stricken after he allegedly invaded a shrine.
Residents of Ketu community in Aiyetoro area of Ogun on Sunday expressed mixed feelings over the report when they spoke in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Aiyetoro, Yewa North Council Area of the State.
Fagbere, who was reported to have been stricken by some angry gods, allegedly regained consciousness after custodians of the shrine carried out some rites on him.
One of the witnesses who is a commercial motorcyclist, said he was at the scene when it happened, and confirmed the incident.
“The pastor got stuck in the shrine and at a point the traditionalists were called in to set him free.
“He was there from morning till evening. At a point, his mother had to come to the scene to plead for him. “If not for the king who waded into the situation, things would have gone beyond human control,” he said.
NAN also visited the palace of the Alaye of Ayetoro, Oba Abdulazeez Adelakun, but one of the palace Chiefs, Kola Onifade said the monarch was the only person that could speak on the matter. He, however, noted that there was nothing more to say on the issue, saying it had been resolved.
The Pastor had on Thursday in Abeokuta at a press conference organised by the Ogun Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria said that many people mistook his posture at the shrine for paralysis.
