(pictured above) of the Celestial Church of
Christ in Epe, Lagos has been arrested by the
police for allegedly setting her 9 year old
daughter, Damilola, on fire. The woman said
her child was possessed with witchcraft and
was trying to deliver her according to God's
instruction to her. She allegedly poured
kerosene on the little girl's body and set it
ablaze.
Damilola is currently at the Epe General
Hospital where she is being treated for first
degree burns in the emergency ward.
PM News reports that residents of her Ijebu-
Ode Road, Odomola, Epe home where the
incident happened immediately informed the
police of her hideous crime. Continue...
During interrogation, she confessed to the
crime but said she was only obeying the
command of God
"I saw in my vision while praying that
my daughter is from the witchcraft
world. When I prayed to God over it, I
received the instruction through Holy
Spirit to burn my daughter's body in
order to deliver her from the evil
society."
She was immediately charged before an
Igbosere magistrate court by the police for
attempted murder but the presiding
magistrate, Mrs. C. J. Momodu directed the
case be transferred to a family court due to
the age of the young girl. The case comes up
for hearing at the Family Court on June 2nd
