FOLLOW UP ON THE DEATH OF TWO BROTHERS DURING SPIRITUAL BATH: PASTOR FINALLY ARRESTED

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’.
If recalled, it was earlier 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.
