How Prophet Killed, Buried Female Undergraduate In Lagos

The Lagos state police command has arrested a 72-year-old prophet of Celestial Church of Christ in Ipaja area of Lagos state, Jacob Farinmade, for allegedly killing a female undergraduate, Bunmi, whom he impregnated.

Bunmi was said to be a student of Babcock university until 2014 when she was rusticated, her father then took her to her mother, Derayo Omisibi’s house to stay for a while.

Worried about the state of her daughter, Derayo sought spiritual help, after which she took Bunmi to the cleric for spiritual cleansing.

According to reports, the cleaning required that Bunmi stayed in the church premises were the clergyman and his over 10 wives also reside.

Sources said the cleric took advantage of Bunmi’s stay in his church to lure her to bed and impregnated her by keeping her in his church for the duration of her pregnancy and stopped her from receiving any ante-natal care.

Bunmi recently died while trying to give birth to her baby and instead of informing her mother about her demise, the clergyman hurriedly buried her in a shallow grave inside his church premises and thereafter called the mother to inform her that Bunmi had died.

Trouble loomed when the father of the deceased could not reach his daughter, which made him report the matter to the police and the clergyman was arrested.

The spokesman of the state police command, Bala Elkanah confirmed the incident, saying the suspect would be charged to court soon for murder.
