The
fleeing pastor identified as Francis Taiwo, who chained his 9-year-old son for
weeks, has been arrested.
The
Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who
confirmed the arrest to Premium Times said the suspect was arrested on Sunday,
with the assistance of his church members.
The
suspect had been on the run since police and officials of the Nigeria Security
and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, burst into his church on Friday to rescue the
victim, Korede.
The
victim’s stepmother had earlier been arrested by the police who announced that
the malnourished boy will be handed to the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social
Welfare for further rehabilitation.
Mr.
Adejobi said Mr. Taiwo, a pastor at the Key of Joy Celestial Church, Ajibawo,
Atan-Ota town of Ogun
State, will be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed.
