UPDATED: Ondo Pastor locked 50 children up for 6 months, waiting to meet Jesus Christ in September
The combined security officers have rescued at least 50 children that were kept in the underground apartment of a church for six months in the Valentino Area of Ondo town in Ondo State.
Newsflash Nigeria gathered that the security officers stormed the church identified as Ondo Church on Friday evening to rescue their kids.
The source gathered that the children were locked up for over six months, waiting to meet Jesus Christ in September this year.
A group in the town, Ekimogun Youths Connect, has disclosed the children were kept in the custody of the church for over six months.
The group, in a statement issued by its president, Mr Famakinwa Lucaskakaki, and made available to our correspondent, said it swung into action together with the police and the Amotekun officers to rescue the victims.
The statement read in part, “About 14:00hrs of yesterday, Friday 1st of July, 2022, I was reliably informed that a particular Church in Valentino, Ondo City, called ‘Ondo Church’, locked people up in the church for over six months, telling them that Jesus Christ will come and meet them by September this year.
“The National President of the Great Constitutional Rights and Justice Forum, in the person of Comrade Omotayo Omolayo, was also briefed and we mobilised down to the venue and we met about 50 people locked up in the church.
“The church has rooms where the pastor locked his members. The process of rescuing these ones with the help of Police officers, Amotekun, Atariajanaku and vigilante group, caused a lot of pandemonium that the people under lock started beating us.
“The pastor, the church workers and the people under lock have been arrested and whisked to Akure.”
