Angry Man Burns Popular Church In Lagos Over Failed Prophecies

The world is gradually coming to end as people are looking for ways to attach themselves to God without the quality of holy spirit, while man are looking for miracles at all means.

………. An angry man has reportedly set God of Truth Covenant Evangelical Church, ablaze in Lagos over alleged fake prophecies by the owner of the church.

The 28-year-old victim identified as Oluwatosin Adegoke, who is a member of God of Truth Covenant Evangelical Church, Idimu, Lagos, was said to have got tired of the church’s purported deceit over false prophecies and burnt down the church.

The church is located at Akinbolade Street, off Arobaba Street, Idimu area of Lagos state where Adogoke had been a member of the church for several years but his condition worsened.

According to the residents, Adegoke alleged that the owner of the church, a prophet was fake as prophecies issued to him had been unfulfilled and his condition worsened.

He ordered the prophetess to close the church but the owner ignored him. He then allegedly took a substance suspected to be a premium motor spirit to the church and set it ablaze. All the properties inside the church got burnt including musical equipment, public address system, and chairs. He waited in front of the church until he was arrested by police operatives from Area M Command, Idimu, for arson.

During interrogation, the prophetess claimed Adegoke was mentally ill and that was why he went to burn the church but Adegoke said his mental status was normal and asked the police to inquire from the cleric why he burnt the church twice. After interrogating him, the police found him culpable and subsequently charged him before the Ejigbo Magistrates Court for arson. Adegoke pleaded guilty.

The Presiding Magistrate, E. O. Ogunkanmi, ordered his remand in the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos and adjourned the matter to Monday, July 26.
