However, Bassey denied the allegations, saying though he was the founder of Victory is Sweet Ministries, he knew nothing about the skull, effigies and charms found in his possession.
He said, “I am a prophet, I don’t know anything about the skull, my mother gave me Bible and garment as a young boy, then I started helping people by liberating them from various curses and enchantments.”
“I started by liberating my family who always “sacrificed” their male children for the female ones to survive, I broke that covenant and I have been liberating people in Cross River and beyond, I am not a killer, I only help people.”
“I am not a herbalist, I am a prophet, I was ordained at a Church ( names withheld)at Azikiwe Street, Calabar by my spiritual father. After I liberate people, they come back and show appreciation, I am not a native doctor.”
Sikiru Akande, the Commissioner of Police in Cross Rivers while briefing newsmen at the Command Headquarters Diamond Hill Calabar, Cross River, praised all active members of the state who have been supplying true information with a view to joining hands with police in eradicating crime in the state.
The new Commander, Anti Kidnapping & Cultism Squad, AKCTS was also lauded for his prescient approach and operational tactics which have produced positive results.
Akande stated: “We have gathered momentum to fight crime in a unique and proactive way, and we have liaised with Community leaders to keep smoking criminals out on daily basis.”
“We are parading about 31 of them for various offences including possession of human parts, skulls, armed robbery, murder, amongst others, it is absurd and utterly surprising that at this age and time, somebody would be killing a human being instead of engaging in something useful to add value.”
“We arrested some persons, and we discovered that one of them buried a human head in a pit in the middle of his own room, while the other was using human skull and engaging in other fetish activities in the name of religion.”
“We are using this opportunity to call on residents to desist from activities near the waterfronts, especially when the tide is high. We are assuring the public that the police will not rest on its oars until we get the criminals that committed the dastardly acts near a higher institution.”
