Kwara prophet, son arrested over alleged murder of fresh graduate
Prophet Adeniyi Adebayo, also known as Prophet Ogunse, along with his son, Promise Ogunse, have been arrested in connection with the murder of a recent female graduate from the Kwara State College of Health Technology in Offa.
The identity of the victim has not yet been disclosed.
SaharaReporters learned that Promise Ogunse, the son of the founder of The Light of God Miracle Embassy Church Worldwide, is the prime suspect in the case.
According to sources, Promise, the eldest son of Pastor Ogunse, allegedly invited the victim from Offa to a hotel in Ilorin last week, leading to the tragic incident.
The deceased had just completed her studies at the Kwara State College of Health Technology.
The source said, “Yes, the lady was invited by the pastor’s son to a hotel in Ilorin. Her dead body was found at a dumpsite. I think it was the hotel staff who dumped her there after the assailants fled.
“The police were able to apprehend the suspect and his father, who happens to be a pastor. They are currently being held at the police headquarters in Ilorin.”
When reached for comment, Kwara State Police Command spokesperson, DSP Toun Ejire-Adeyemi, said she would provide a response later.
“I will get back to you,” she said.
However, as of the time this report was filed, she had not yet provided an update.
