Reverend Father Paul Obayi poses for a picture as he sits amidst several artefacts that he recovered from various shrines and stored in his museum in Nsukka, Enugu Nigeria, September 29, 2021.

The collection includes carvings of pagan deities and masks, some of them more than a century old and considered central to the pre-Christian religion of the Igbo people, who traditionally believed them to be sacred and to have supernatural powers.
