A 28 year old man identified as Oluwatosin Adegoke has allegedly burnt down a church in Lagos State.

The man, according to Sources, allegedly burnt down God of Truth Covenant Evangelical Church located at Akinbolade Street off Arobaba Street, Idimu area of Laaos State, for alleged fake prophecy by the General Overseer of the church.

The source said Adegoke, who had been a member of the church for several years, alleged that the owner of the church, a prophetess, was fake because, his condition didn’t improve despite all the prophecies revealed to by the Prophetess were unfulfilled.

Angered by the development, Adegoke was said to have resorted to destroying the church’s properties and consequently set the church ablaze with a substance suspected to be fuel after ordering the
prophetess to close the church and she ignored him.

After completing the action, enraged Adegoke, waited patiently in front of the church until he was arrested by police Policemen from Area M Command, ldimu, for arson.

It was, however, gathered that the prophetess claimed Adegoke was mentally ill hence his action, but Adegoke denied being manually ill.

Adegoke was subsequently
arraigned before the Ejigbo Magistrates Court for arson where he pleaded guilty to the offence charged while the Prosecutor, Inspector Benedict Aigbokhan, applied for a short adjournment to enable him present the facts of the matter before the court.

Presiding Magistrate, E. O.
Ogunkanmi, ordered that Adegoke be remanded in the Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos and adjourned the matter to
Monday, July 26.
