According to sources, the cele prophet only informed the girl’s mother of her death, after the had buried her in a shallow grave near his church premises.
It was the girl’s father who reported he matter to the police after he became unsettled when her mother could not offer any solid explanation about the whereabouts of the deceased.
The Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), is currently in charge of the matter and the cleric is being held there.
The spokesman of Lagos State Police Command, Mr Bala Elkanah confirmed the incident saying that the suspect had been charged to court for murder.
