There was
pandemonium and slight drama at the Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, under the
leadership of Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin in Warri, Delta State, as a woman
tried to strangle her few month-old baby.
The woman
(names withheld) was caught by observed members of the church who called the
attention of the security officers in the church premises. The baby was rescued
and the mother was taken to the Ebrumede Police Station for questioning.
The woman
confessed that she tried killing the child because of frustration as her
husband has abandoned her and the child. So, she was at the church to kill the
child to get the attention of the prophet.
The child has been taken to the hospital for medical attention and was confirmed to be in a good state of health.
A Report
revealed that another woman dumped her child in the church premises but was
later found. Therefore, security has
been beefed up in the church premises to avoid another occurrence of mothers
abandoning or trying to kill their babies
