I’m Ready to Face Death, Says C&S Self Acclaimed Pastor Who Butchered LASU Student
By Eric Elezuo
42 years old self acclaimed pastor of the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Solution chapel in Ikoyi-Ile, Osun State, Segun Phillips, has said he is ready to die for his crime.
Phillips, an indigene of Osun State, who lives in Ikoyi-Ile, killed and butchered one Favour Daley Oyeleke. a 400 level Sociology student of the Lagos State University, Ojo in connivance with her boyfriend, one Owolabi.
Speaking to The Punch during an interview, the man who said he is a prophet narrated thus:
“I was trained at Elmessiah Cherubim and Seraphim at Sango. I was called by God, but I think I have deviated from my calling and that was why I involved myself in all these atrocities.”
Giving details of what transpired between him and Owolabi, he said:
“But the money ritual we wanted to perform required human body parts for it to work. He (Owolabi) asked me where we could get body parts of a human being and I told him I didn’t know because that was the first time I would be performing such. I told him that he was the one that would get the human being to be used for the ritual. Owolabi agreed to bring his girlfriend and when he brought the girlfriend, we killed her and removed all we needed from her. What I removed were the head, heart, breasts and hands. We used all these parts to prepare a concoction for Owolabi’s mother but she did not know that they were human body parts.”
The killer who had been disowned by the Cherubim and Seraphim Church worldwide, said he was trained in the business of money ritual by a certain Sunday Obasioni
“It was Sunday Obasioni that taught me how to use human body parts for money ritual. He taught me when I was still a trainee under him. He told me not to teach anyone, and because I was an illiterate, I used my phone to record how he explained that I would go about it and it was the recording I used when I wanted to do it for Owolabi’s mother,” he said.
Phillips begged the government to forgive so he could become a real evangelist of the gospel, but if otherwise, that he was ready to face the death penalty.
“I know the sentence that will be passed on me for murdering someone is death. Since that is the law of the country, I am ready to face the death penalty for what I did,” he concluded.
Abuja, the nation’s federal capital, came alive with joy and excitement on Wednesday as a new set of winners in the ongoing Globacom Festival of Joy promotion received mouth-watering prizes they won at a special presentation ceremony held at the premises of Globacom at Aminu Kano Crescent.

Sarah, a federal civil servant from Borno State, who emerged winner of the Toyota Prado in the draw of the promotion held in Abuja last Friday, expressed shock when she was called up. She dropped the call from Globacom several times because the news was too good to be believed.
She said, “I was prevailed upon by my colleagues to do a video call with the Glo staff who called me. Even when I saw the office environment, I was still doubtful.” She added that when she eventually agreed to visit the Glo office, she went with a hefty colleague just in case she was being set up.

U.S immigration and border officials will be able to arrest migrants at so-called “sensitive” locations again, after the Trump administration overturned policies limiting where such arrests could happen.
Officers will now be able to make arrests at designated “sensitive” areas, including houses of worship, schools, and hospitals.
Officials have been prohibited from doing this since 2011.
Later, the Biden administration expanded the regulation, further restricting the authority’s powers.
“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.
“The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.”
A second directive reinstates the ability for the U.S. to quickly deport any undocumented person arrested who is unable to prove they have been in the country for more than two years.
A 23-year-old Turkish OnlyFans model, Azranur AV aka Ezra Vandan, has been arrested by Istanbul police after announcing her plan to engage in sexual activity with 100 men within 24 hours.
Vandan’s social media post, in which she declared her intention to live-stream the act in an attempt to set a national record, was deemed “obscene” and “damaging” to public morals by authorities.
“My goal is to break a Turkish record first, then a world record!” she wrote in the now-viral post.
Her arrest was carried out by the Morality Bureau of the Istanbul Security Branch Directorate at a cosmetic surgery clinic in Atasehir, Istanbul.
