The Ogun State Police Command on Saturday commenced a manhunt for the pastor in charge of Key of Joy Celestial Church of Christ, Ajibawo area in Atan Ota, Ado Odo Ota Local Government Area of the state.


Meanwhile, the father is on the run but his wife, Kehinde Taiwo who doubles as Korede’s step mother has been arrested.


Kehinde Taiwo told Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi that the boy (Korede) was chained due to his habit of stealing.

Adejobi speaking to Punch said that Kehinde had revealed during interrogation that Korede’s father’s cruel act was due to the stealing habit exhibited by Korede.


Adejobi said, “Korede has been treated by the police and discharged. He is presently receiving every necessary attention from the police personnel in the Onipanu Division.


“The young boy will soon be handed over to the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development in Ogun State for necessary action.”
