Luck ran out on a man alleged to be a pastor of a new generation
pentecostal church in Lagos State when he was caught red-handed trying
to bury the corpse of a two-year-old girl.
According to police sources, the pastor, Dare Adewole, reportedly of
the Christ Gospel Apostolic Church at 32/34 Karimu Ilaka Street in the
Egbeda area of the state, was caught by policemen attached to the Idimu
area while attempting to bury the remains of the yet unidentified child.
According to reports,
Adewole was initially detained at Idimu Police Station but had since
been transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal
Investigative Department of the Lagos State Police Command in Panti,
Yaba.
According to police, the suspect was arrested after a tip-off by
neighbours of the pastor, who had reportedly been monitoring him when
they noticed his movements. Some his neighbours said they had always
been suspicious of the pastor.
One of them said: “People had always doubted his sincerity of being a man of God due to the way he behaves.”
The acting image maker in charge of the state police command, Damasus Ozoani, confirmed the incident.
Ozoani added: “It is true the police have made arrests but I cannot tell you the number of arrests.
“The case is beyond what the division can handle. It has been transferred to the State CID, Panti.”
Ozoani further stated that the police were yet to identify the two-year-old girl.
