Prophet Babatunde Alfa, the founder of Sotitobire Praising Chapel, and five others have been sentenced to life imprisonment for last year’s disappearance of a one-year-old child, Gold Kolawole from the church.
They were found guilty on two- count charges bordering on kidnapping, aiding and abetting to kidnap preferred against them.
It was gathered that the little boy was abducted by an unknown person during the church service at the children section of Sotitobire Praising Chapel, located at Oshinle Quarters in Akure, the state capital, in November 2019, and the whereabouts of the boy was never known.
Justice Olusegun Odusola said the prosecution proved circumstantial evidence against the accused persons.
Other defendants jailed include Omodara Olayinka, Margaret Oyebola, Grace Ogunjobi, Egunjobi Motunrayo and Esther Kayode.
