Police arrest pastor for chaining nine-year-old son


The Ogun State Police Command has arrested the fleeing pastor who chained his son for over a month.
Pastor Francis Taiwo had chained his son, Korede Taiwo, in a room inside the Key of Joy Celestial Church of Christ, Ajibawo, in Ado Odo/Ota Local Government Area of the state.

A team of the police operatives from Onipanu Division of the command and the Nigeria ‎Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ota had rescued the victim on Friday.


The NSCDC operatives had gone on surveillance of petroleum pipeline in Ajibawo when neighbours of the pastor informed them about the boy’s ordeal.

They swung into action and arrested Korede’s step mother, Kehinde, who told the police that the father had chained the victim for stealing.
