Attackers Of Osun Church During Vigil Arrested by edudaniel(m): 12:18pm On Aug 02, 2023

Three suspects have been paraded at the Osun State Police Command's headquarters for their alleged involvement in an attack on a Celestial Church located in Odu Village near Osogbo. The incident occurred during a vigil in the early hours of Tuesday.

According to reports, the attackers targeted the church during the vigil, leading to the abduction of 12 church members. Fortunately, the victims managed to escape when they encountered hunters and local volunteers who responded to a distress call.

During the attack, a female member of the church was reportedly subjected to a terrible ordeal, but her identity was not disclosed.

Esther Ayodeji, a musician who had been invited to perform at the vigil by the pastor in charge, provided an account of what transpired. She arrived at the church a few minutes after 10 pm on Monday to prepare for the vigil, which commenced around midnight. After her performance, she stepped out, leaving her drummers inside the church.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, advised religious organizations to avoid conducting late-night or early-morning programmes, especially in remote locations. The three arrested suspects found near the scene are currently under interrogation.

In addition to the church attack, the police also paraded other suspects, including those arrested for being members of unlawful societies and involvement in armed robbery. Adebayo Adedayo and Adeyemi Sodiq were apprehended for attacking a business owner in Iragbiji, stealing cash and items valued at N877,000.

Furthermore, Yusuf Baoku and Ajayi Ismail, who were arrested for attempted murder and membership in an unlawful society, along with other suspects, will face legal charges following the completion of the investigation.
