Update: Missing baby not exhumed from Akure church- Ondo state police command


The Ondo State Police Command has shut down rumours that the body of missing one-year-old Gold Kolawole, was exhumed from the Sotitobire Miracle Church in Akure, the state capital.

Some irate youths in the state capital stormed the church premises this morning and set it on fire following rumours that the body of Kolawole who went missing in the church in November, was exhumed from the altar.
In a statement released this afternoon, spokesperson of the state police command, Femi Joseph said the rumour is untrue. Read the statement below
“The Ondo State Police Command wishes to inform the general public particularly the People of Ondo State that they should disregard the rumours making the rounds that the body of a recently declared missing boy in the state has been exhumed from Sotitobire church in Akure.
It is most unfortunate that this misleading information spearheaded by a popular TV station has ignited a spontaneous reaction from the people leading to wanton destruction of properties and injuries to many.
The church building was also set ablaze by irate youths. Some of our officers dispatched to the scene to contain the situation were pelted with stones with many of them sustaining injuries.
Their patrol vehicle was also badly damaged. This rejoinder became necessary to disabuse the minds of many Nigerians who might have fallen for these wicked lies and propaganda.
The public should also not be hoodwinked by reports that the command has abandoned the investigation of the incident, as the case file is already on the way to the DPP for legal advice. Notwithstanding this latest incident, more reinforcement has been sent to the scene to contain the situation.” the statement read
