The two suspects involved have been arrested and the body and the head of the boy were brought to the station.
It had earlier been reported that
the pastor, identified as Adedoyin Oyekan and one Eric were arrested at
Odokereke, Odogunyan of Ikorodu on Thursday.
Eric, who was said to be a friend to the victim’s father, allegedly stole the boy around 11.am on Wednesday, after his father left him in his care. It was gathered the suspect was said to have taken the boy to the pastor’s church where they beheaded and buried him between 2.am and 4.am yesterday.
When the victim’s father came back to take his son, Eric claimed he had sent him home. Eric opened up during interrogation and led detectives to the pastor’s place where the child’s mutilated body was buried.
“Investigation has commenced and
the case would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba, Lagos”, Olarinde said.
The suspects were rescued from
being lynched by some angry residents of the area after committing the offence
at 16, Apata Abo Street, Odokekere, Odogunyan.
The police spokesman said
investigation was still on.
Wickedness in high places. It is sad! Most of these pastors are wolves in sheep skin. If i have any dealings with anyone now and he started claiming to be pastor quoting this bible or the other passages, I simply run away because most of them are terrible horrible people using the name of God in vain. ALLAH's judgement and Punishment awaits them all. AMEEN!
ReplyDeleteI wonder, you didn't condemn the entire christainity, if it were to be Muslim/Islam, the whole religion would have awash with insult. Crime is crime irrespective of religion.
DeleteWhy calling a ritualistic a pastor? This is a devil. I hate it if they refer to such as man of God
ReplyDelete!!! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME TO U ALL THESE FAKE PASTORS !!!! I MEAN TO THE FAKE PASTORS.
ReplyDeleteMr Kingsley Ebare, I quite understand ur plight and just the same way I feel about the work of my Father. But the truth is, the man said he is a pastor and they referred to him as a pastor, he was arrested as a pastor and committed the ritual killing crime as a pastor. No one should be blamed for referring to him as a pastor other than the pastor himself who knew he's not a pastor but called himself a pastor or who is a fake pastor but all the same, if he has any Church at all which he oversees, then he is a pastor but just being a fake one.
Mr Isiaka, I want u to know that there are still very truthful pastors may be not many but there are still. All u need to do is to be open minded and the Lord will bring one that's genuine and truthful your path that will minister to u the everlasting powerful word of God that is able to save and deliver ur soul from eternal damnation which only could be done by the blood of Jesus Christ God's Son. There's no need to run away from all pastors but believe in Jesus Christ as ur Savior and Lord and everything shall be alright. It'a pity that God's work especially in Nigeria has turned this sour and bitter. Notwithstanding, there are still some, may be very very few that are still genuine in the call of God as a pastor but the majority (May be to the tune of about 95%) as I see are FAKE pastors but God is patiently watching and waiting and all we can do is to PRAY for them and TELL them as we are opportuned by His grace IJN. This kind of crime in God's name is a very shameful disgrace that should not even be imagined. Have a blessed one IJN. Friday, 06092017 @ 11:10am.
I think the name pastor has become a nick name. No pastor in the right meaning of the word would engage in heinous crimes. I could just introduce myself as pastor so and so but that does not mean I am one. I could build a house and call it a church but that name does not make it one, Lets just beware of babalawo posing as pastors and shrines labelled as churches.
