Just In: DSS Arraigns The General Overseer Of Sotitobire Church, Akure, Over Missing Baby

The department of State Services (DSS) has arraigned Alfa Babatunde, the General Overseer of Sotitobire Miracle Centre, Akure, Ondo State. It was done early on Monday 23 December 2019 before a magistrate court on two counts charge of kidnap and felony.

The general Overseer was arraigned alongside six others identified as Peter Anjorin, Esther Kayode, Egunjobi Motunrayo, Grace Ogunjobi, Margaret Oyebola, and Omodara Olayinka. The arraignment was linked to the missing of Kolawole Gold, a 1-year boy at the church premises.

The boy’s mother had dropped him at the Sotitobire church’s crèche department but the boy went missing before the end of the service. Following an unconfirmed report that the boy was buried on the altar of the church, angry youth set the church on fire last week.

The spokesperson of the Ondo State Police Command, Femi Joseph, said fake news led to the burning of the church. Alfa Babatunde had earlier been arrested by the DSS based on a petition concerning the missing child.
