A 37 year old prophetess Bose Oluwole
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.
Residents of her Ijebu-Ode
Road, Odomola, Epe home where the incident happened immediately informed
the police of her hideous crime.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
