Francis Taiwo, a Celestial Church of Christ minister who starved and kept his nine-year-old child in chains for quite a long time, has been captured.
The 40-year-old minister was secured by the police from the Onipanu division on Sunday at his congregation CCC, Key of Joy Parish – in Ajibawo, Atan, in the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Police sources said that Francis may be accused of endeavored murder, among different offenses, after the fulfillment of examination.
"The minister might be accused of endeavored murder. His activity was equipped for slaughtering the kid," one of the sources said.
It was accounted for that Francis fastened his child, Korede, to the sacred place in the congregation for over a month and starved him until he went into a state of unconsciousness trying to cast out the assumed soul that made the kid to take.
Korede was, be that as it may, safeguarded on Friday amid a joint operation by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps and the police, subsequent to accepting a tip-off from inhabitants of the territory.
Korede's stepmother, Kehinde, had likewise been captured for supposedly supporting the pitilessness dispensed to the kid.
Korede, who said he tried to be a specialist, had rebuked his dad for his taking propensity.
"The reality of the matter is that I stole a pot of soup and a bowl of eba in our home. I likewise stole in the area. My dad's powerlessness to offer cash to my stepmother for the upkeep of the family brought on it.
When I was fastened, my dad and stepmother bolstered me twice every day. Some days, I was not given any sustenance. I need to backpedal to class since I need to be a specialist later on. I would prefer not to retreat to my dad's home," Korede had said.
Francis, a father of five who hails from Benin Republic, admitted to the demonstration in his announcement to the police, including that Korede's mom was late.
He said, "I was appointed a minister in the CCC in 2012. I had separated two spouses, including Korede's mom, Maria; she is late at this point. She had four kids for me – two young men and two young ladies – before she separated me in 2007 after she brought forth Korede. I affixed Korede in light of the fact that he is controlled. A malevolent soul makes him to take. He needs deliverance. His kin are not living with me."
An inhabitant, who recognized himself just as Elijah, said Francis had been cautioned on a few events against unleashing brutality on the casualty.
He said, "His dad has been binding him for as far back as six months. He would chain him for a considerable length of time and discharge him. His grouse is that Korede takes and flees from home and he supposes a soul is controlling the youngster. He once took him to a stream in chains for deliverance."
The Ogun State police representative, SP Muyiwa Adejobi, said the case had been exchanged to the tyke work unit of the summon for examination.
"The case has been exchanged to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labor Unit of the summon for important examination and activities as coordinated by the Assistant Inspector-General of Police responsible for zone 2, AIG Abdulmajid Ali," he said.
