Pastor Olusegun Otaru of the Voice of Cannan Temple (C&S) Aladura Church Ozuru in Adavi, Kogi State, who was arrested for killing a commercial sex worker, Miss Mercy Moses and dismembering her body parts has confessed to engaging in money rituals.
The pastor reportedly buried the body parts in his altar while preaching salvation messages to his church members.
The suspect who is a father of eight children made the revelation on Monday while being paraded along with his accomplices at the force headquarters in Lokoja.
Otaru, who was arrested by the police last week for his involvement in the killing of the 19-year-old girl for money ritual, blamed his actions on the devil and his quest to solve poverty that has bedevilled his family.
He disclosed that he has participated in the exhuming of three bodies from the burial grounds which he used to prepare concoction for money to no avail stressing that the failure of the concoction made him look for a fresh human being which he thought would be efficacious.
Otaru added that he learnt the trade from one Alfa at Abeokuta before he relocated home saying that he expected to reap over N2.5 million only from Miss Mercy Moses.
He said,
“We, first of all, took a turns to rape her and after we killed her. We also took turn to sleep with the dead body. We cut the head, the fingers and toes. We ground the fingers and the toes which we mix with other concoctions which we lick every morning expecting an inflow of money.”
