It took the timely intervention of the police to rescue the Pastor and take him into their custody before the angry crowd could lynch him.

A Facebook user, Peter Okon, who witnessed the scene, also wrote that the baby boy was kidnapped on the morning of Thursday, August 24, 2017, and sold to the Pastor who slaughtered him for ritual purposes.

This is what Okon posted on his wall:

“The police arrested and interrogated the guy this morning over the missing baby boy and the guy led them to the Pastor he sold him to.
