Police Parade The Pastor Arrested With Severed Heart Of 18-Month-Old Baby As Her Mom Speaks

A 20-year-old mother, Faith Inyang, on Tuesday disclosed how a pastor, Tony Obo-Ekpeyong, allegedly broke into her home alongside six others to steal her 18-month old baby girl that was allegedly used for rituals, Punch reports.

Narrating the sad story of how the incident happened at the headquarters of the Cross River State Command in Calabar on Tuesday, Inyang said her baby was stolen at about 3am on August 24 by masked men whom she said she was able to identify.

She said she was able to identify the pastor because he and the other alleged assailants lived in the same neighbourhood as her.

The pastor who is the overseer of the Royal God’s Commandment Ministry and six others were arrested and paraded for allegedly killing the little baby and also for allegedly being in possession of what was suspected to be her heart.

Inyang said, “When they broke into our house, we pleaded with them not to hurt us. They came in with machetes and they used it on me and my cousin before taking my child away.

I recognised one of the men because of his stature; he lived around our area and he normally passed through our house. When they left, we came out and started shouting for help and some men in the area came out and trailed them to the church.
Everything became clear in the morning and the Police came in and arrested them. Up till now, I have not seen the body of my daughter, apart from the heart that was found there.”
