Officers of the Nigeria Police have sealed off the Christ Gospel Apostolic Church located at Destiny Avenue in Egbeda area of Lagos, where a two-year-old baby girl was allegedly buried alive.
It was gathered that the police at Idimu Division stormed the church and exhumed the body of the victim for autopsy and arrested the pastor of the church identified as Dare Ogunloye.
A police source said the Divisional Police Officer, Mike Ochuko, instructed his men to exhume the corpse from the church premises for autopsy.
To get to the root of the matter, the traditional ruler of Egbeda kingdom, Oba Samson Balogun has urged the Lagos State Government to close down the church permanently if the allegation was true.
When LEADERSHIP visited the area, it was observed that to ensure that the premises remains sealed, a team of policemen was inside and outside the church auditorium, while their Mazda patrol vehicle with registration number BD 36 AW was used to block the entrance of the church.
The bubble was said to have burst on the pastor when a resident close to the church who had gone out to ease himself at about 2am allegedly caught him burying the child in a shallow grave within the church premises.
