The Ogun State Police Command has successfully apprehended a suspected cultist, Peter Falola, known as ‘Black Jesus,’ on charges of assault, arson, and vandalism.
According to a statement released by the command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, Falola was taken into custody on January 20 following an incident in the Agbado area of the state.
On January 15, 2025, around 9:00 am, Falola allegedly stormed the home of Oladipupo Adeniran, a resident of Ifelodun Street, Ago Ajeri, Agbado.
He threatened to burn down Adeniran’s house, with motives yet to be revealed by the police. During the altercation, Falola reportedly struck Adeniran on the head with an empty beer bottle.
As neighbors and residents promptly rushed Adeniran to the hospital for medical care, Falola allegedly set fire to the victim’s apartment, resulting in damages estimated at over N1.4 million.
The swift actions of the police command have led to Falola’s arrest, and further investigations into the case are ongoing.
