| Scene of the mad man and the pastor, at Oke-Ado, Ibadan, Oyo State |
PEOPLE living at 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 drama involving a pastor and a mad man.
The pastor, whose name is 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 the 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 told the Nigerian Tribune.
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.
The pastor remained in state of insanity until the Nigerian Tribune left the scene of the incident.
