The police in Anambra, Onitsha arrested one Apostle Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere Odumeje on Friday for allegedly burying charm in his church premises in Anambra.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the identity of what the suspect buried was unknown though residents around the church, located along 88B BIDA Road in Onitsha, alleging it was a live animal.
The police took away the suspect to avoid being lynched by angry residents who attempt to storm the church.
