The Ogun Police Command says it will prosecute a Pentecostal pastor, Wale Fagbere, who allegedly invaded a traditional shrine in Ketu area of Ayetoro in Ogun.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Mr Abimbola Oyeyemi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abeokuta on Monday that the cleric would be charged for malicious damage and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
“What he did was wrong and so he must be charged to court. If it was the other way round too, they will also be charged to court.
“Everyone has a right to worship whatever deity one chooses without fear or favour, “he said.
Oyeyemi, however, said he could not tell in which court the accused would be arraigned as at press time.
NAN reports that Fagbere on Saturday attempted to pull down a traditional shrine in Ketu, Yewa North Local Government Area of the state.
But he was reported to have immediately gone numb upon entering the shrine, attracting a crowd to the scene.
He, however, regained consciousness after the traditional ruler of the town, Oba Abdulaziz Adelakun, intervened and directed that some some traditional rites be carried out on him.

The bible says he has giving us the spirit of life and sound mind! when you doubt yourself in the spirit of Almighty God in the name of Christ Jesus, things like that may happen to you!! I am sure he saw the decoration inside the shrine and he got afraid a bit....next time , ask God to give you courage and totally defeat the spirit of fear in your life. without fear you can defeat such idols in the name of Christ Jesus.

. Just like Disciple Peter trying to walk on water in the manner of his Lord, he faced a momentary distraction and began to sink. He (Peter) later became the Greatest Apostle. Give this man time, if he was really CALLED to embark on that crusade, he will rise later.
