Enugu State security operatives have discovered a human skull at a church construction site, allegedly tied to a suspected ritualist.

This human skull was discovered during a joint security operation led by the Divisional Police Officer of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area.

The building was allegedly referred to as the Synagogue.

According to the Chairman of Igbo-Eze South LGA, Barrister Ferdinand Ukwueze, security officials were acting on credible intelligence when they raided the site believed to be used for ritual activities.

Sharing details of the operation in a Facebook post on Sunday, June 9, Barr. Ukwueze stated:

“Two days ago, while combing areas reasonably suspected to harbor criminal activities, I joined the Divisional Police Officer of Igbo-Eze South and other security agents to inspect a site at Abile Hill. The site, currently under construction for what Prophet Chinedu Ezedike claims to be a Synagogue, turned out to be deeply suspicious. A human skull and a ritual staff were found at the location—evidence that supports the growing concerns and allegations surrounding Ezedike’s activities.”

Barr. Ukwueze reaffirmed the administration’s resolve to root out crime from the region, stating:

“This discovery strengthens our commitment to eliminating all forms of criminality in Igbo-Eze South. Under the leadership of His Excellency, Governor Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, we are building a safe, just society where every citizen of Enugu State can pursue their dreams free from fear and criminal intimidation.”

“A society declines when good people remain silent in the face of evil. Together, we must continue to protect our land,” he concluded.

The building has, however, been demolished by the government.
