Nigerians
living around the Oke-Ado area of Ibadan, Oyo State, as well as shop
owners and automobile dealers along Molete road in the town, on
Thursday, watched a sad drama involving a pastor in the area and a mad
man.
The pastor, whose name was giving as Timothy, according to an
eyewitness, got to Ososami junctions of Oke-Ado around 5.20 p.m and went
to meet the mentally-deranged man, popularly known as Tunde, who was
sitting in front of a building in the area.
According to Semiu, a shop owner around the spot of the incident,
the pastor began to read the Bible on sighting the mad man, while he
moved closer to him and laid hand on his head. “At a point, there was a
hot argument between the duo, which made the pastor to raise his voice
as he was offering a deliverance prayer for Tunde, the mad man. The hot
prayer lasted for over 15 minutes before another strange drama began,”
Semiu said.
Speaking further, another witness, an okada rider, said at a point,
the mad man removed the pastor’s hand from his head, adding that
“suddenly, a strange spirit got hold of the pastor and he began to
remove his cloth. He was naked and laid flat on the ground, speaking a
strange language, with foam oozing out of his mouth.”
The mad man, it was gathered, initially left him in this position and
sat at some distance away from the pastor, before the duo later sat
closer to each other, while onlookers watched the strange drama. As at
Thursday night, Pastor Timothy remained in the state of insanity.
