Adeniyi Johnson, a pastor from Living Faith Church also known as Winners Chapel was caught by a mob with pieces of fried meat suspected to be human parts at Ijomu area of Akure metropolis of Ondo state, Nigeria on Wednesday, May 18. This Day reported that the ‘flesh eating pastor’ was caught in the act in possession of some fetish items and some pieces of fried meat suspected to be human parts that were kept inside his bag.

The frightening sight got the shocked people shouting “eran eyan ni, eran eyan ni” meaning “It is human meat, it is human meat”.

The enraged crowd suggested that the man should be lynched due to his suspicious behaviour and the horrible items found on him as a form of punishment for his crime. However, he was whisked to the palace of Deji of Akure where he told the chief on interrogation that he had just been transferred to Ipogun in Ifedore local government area branch of the church from Iju/ Ita-ogbolu in Akure north local government.
