Ondo State Police Command Insists Body Of Missing Baby Not Exhumed From Akure Church

Published

on

The Ondo State police authority in Akure has shut down rumours going around that the body of the missing 1-year old Kolawole Gold, was exhumed from the Sotitobire Miracle Church in Akure.

Several irate youths in Akure besieged the church premises this morning setting it ablaze following the rumours that the body of little Kolawole Gold who went missing in the church in November was exhumed from the church’s altar.

Femi Joseph, the spokesperson of the Ondo State Police Command said the rumour is untrue. Read his statement below;

“The Ondo State police command wishes to notify the public particularly the residents of Akure in Ondo State that they should disregard the rumour going around that body of a recently declared missing boy in the state have been exhumed from Sotitobire church in Akure.

It is rather unfortunate that this misleading news spearheaded by a popular TV station has ignited spontaneous reactions from the irate youths leading to wanton destruction of lives and properties.

The irate youths set the church building ablaze. Some officers dispatched to the scene to calm down the situation were pelted with stones leading to many injuries.

Their patrol vehicle was also damaged. This rejoinder became important to disabuse the minds of many Nigerians who might have fallen for this propaganda and wicked lies.

The general public should also not be deceived by reports that the command has abandoned the investigation of the matter, as the case file is already on the way to the DPP for legal advice. However, this latest happening has necessitated more reinforcement to the scene of the incident to contain the situation.
