The Ondo State Government has charged Prophet Babtudende Alfa and six other persons to court over the disappearance of a one-year-old boy, Gold Kolawole.
The boy’s family has accused the Prophet and his church of negligence over the matter, while the latter has also claimed the family threatened him with thugs.Last week, angry youths burnt down the church after the corpse of a 12-month old baby was allegedly exhumed from its premises. One of the other six defendants, Peter Anjorin, was charged with destroying evidence that would have aided the speedy investigation of the matter.However, in a ruling on Monday, Magistrate Charity Adeyanju noted that the court doesn’t have the jurisdiction to hear the case.
