The church area
The Lagos State Police
Command has arrested a pastor, Samuel Olusoji, in connection with the death of
two of his church members, who reportedly got drowned during a ‘spiritual
bath’.
We reported on Monday,
December 22, that two brothers, 23-year-old Abiodun and Ayinde Oniru, 20, died
while they went for a ‘spiritual bath’ at a river in Ogombo, Ajah, Lagos.
The bath, it was
gathered, was an annual spiritual cleansing, organised by Olusoji who pastors
the Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Ori-Oke Ibukun, Ilasan, Ajah, Lagos.
It was reported that
after the deaths, Olusoji allegedly fled the church to evade arrest, while most
church members also withdrew. However, the police had arrested the assistant
pastor, who was also the church secretary.
According to Punch, Olusoji
had been arrested by the police. The pastor, it was learnt, was arrested at
about 9am on Tuesday after four days on the run.
