Wednesday, November 13, 2024 - The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a prophetess, Folashade Kikiowo Adekola, over the d3ath of a 28-year-old woman, Jumoke Adesuwa, and her newborn baby.
It was gathered that Adesuwa bled to d3ath from complications after
childbirth at the prophetess’ church, Christ Engracing Deliverance Ministry,
located in the Oke-Aro area of Akure, the state capital.
The newborn reportedly d!ed immediately.
The prophetess was arrested after Adesuwa’s brother reported the matter
to the Oke Aro Police Station.
The spokesperson of the command, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, who confirmed
the arrest in an interview on Tuesday, November 12, stated that Adekola had
been taken to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for
further investigation.
“The case was reported by the deceased’s brother who informed us that
his sister d!ed after childbirth in the church. The prophetess is now in
custody, and investigations are ongoing,” Odunlami said.
It was learnt that Adesuwa left her house for days, to the church for
spiritual incarceration towards her delivery, without her husband’s knowledge.
A family source who pleaded anonymity revealed that the deceased’s
husband, Ayodele Adesuwa, had earlier given her money to register at any
government hospital. But she did not tell her husband when she left the house
for five days to the church, for spiritual incarceration towards her
delivery.
“The husband of the deceased came from the farm in Idanre after five
days away from home and asked for his wife. So, one of the neighours told him
that she had left for church to be delivered of a baby,” the source
narrated.
“Someone from the church called in the evening to inform him that his
wife had been delivered of a baby. The deceased’s husband called me and we
rushed to the said church called ‘Muzuzo’ at Oke-Aro.
“When we got there, we were told that the baby d!ed in the process, but
the mother was alive. On sighting the deceased, we saw her in a pool of blood
bleeding profusely. So, we rushed her to a nearby hospital."
"Due to the worst condition of the deceased, she was rejected at
three hospitals and she d!ed in the process of reviving her in the last
hospital that admitted her.
“To our surprise, we got to the church to collect the baby’s remains and
we found the corpse in a room in the church. The condition of the room was very
worrisome as it does not look like a delivery room.
“We approached the Oke-Aro Police station in Akure to report the case which led to the arrest of the prophetess in charge. The remains of the woman have been deposited at the mortuary,” he added.
