Prophet Samuel Babatunde, 77-year-old pictured above who is the
founder of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Itedo Isinmi Ayo Parish, Egan
Road in Iyana-Iyesi area of Ota in Ogun state,
has been arrested
alongside three others, by men of the Ogun State Police command, after
some human parts were discovered to have been buried inside his
church premises.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Ahmed Iliyasu, told newsmen
while parading the suspects yesterday, that the men were arrested after a
serial children kidnapper, Jeremiah Adeola, who was also arrested last
Saturday, confessed that he abducts children and delivers them to the
77-year-old prophet. The police boss said a 43-year-old herbalist,
Haruna Afolabi, worked with the suspects to bury the human parts at the
entrance of the church.
"Operatives attached to the police Area Command in Ota on Sunday
received technical intelligence about Adeola and eventually apprehended
him. On the strength of the intelligence, detectives from Ota Area
Command were detailed to effect the arrest of the suspect; and at about
10:20am of the date, their efforts paid off when the said Jeremiah
Adeola was promptly arrested".
He added that after investigations have been concluded, the police charge the suspects to court.
