Horror in Enugu: Prophet Accused of Quadruple Child Murder, Church Demolished

IBAGWA AKA, ENUGU STATE – A wave of outrage and grief has swept through Ibagwa Aka Town in Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area of Enugu State following the horrific discovery of four bludgeoned children and the subsequent demolition of a church belonging to a prophet now in police custody. Prophet Chinedu Ezedike, founder of the ‘Light of God Synagogue Church of Nigeria – The Last Bus stop,’ stands accused by shocked residents of ritualistically murdering four young siblings.

The chilling incident, which reportedly occurred around May 18, 2025, saw the lifeless bodies of the four children, all from the same parents, found brutally bludgeoned with a mortar in a house adjacent to Ezedike’s church. The discovery immediately ignited suspicions among neighbors, who swiftly pointed fingers at the Prophet.

While Prophet Ezedike vehemently denies the allegations, claiming his driver might have perpetrated the heinous act, community members remain unconvinced. They contend that “tell-tale signs” contradict his denials, suggesting the crime was committed for ritualistic purposes.

The depth of their anger and suspicion was evident as an enraged mob reportedly vandalized cars found at the church premises after its demolition.

The Enugu State Government acted swiftly in response to the public outcry and the gravity of the accusations. The structure housing Prophet Ezedike’s church and residence has been razed, a drastic measure reflecting the community’s demand for immediate justice and the government’s stance against such alleged atrocities.

Prophet Ezedike has been taken into police custody as investigations into the horrific murders are underway. The community is now gripped by a mix of grief, fear, and a burning desire for the truth. As the self-proclaimed “Last Bus Stop,” the prophet’s journey appears to have indeed reached a grim and public halt, with his fate now resting in the hands of the law and the justice system. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dark underbelly of alleged ritual killings that continue to plague parts of the nation.
