Nine-year-old boy chained, tortured in church by father

A nine-year-old boy, Korede Taiwo, has been rescued after he was allegedly chained‎ and tortured for months inside a church in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The boy, who looked emaciated, was said to have been kept in solitary confinement in one of the rooms of the Celestial Church of Christ (Key of Joy Parish), Ajibawo area, via Atan Otta.
New Telegraph gathered that Korede was chained by his biological father, Francis Taiwo, who was a pastor in the church.
According to sources, the pastor’s cruel act was to punish the boy’s alleged stealing habit.
‎The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, ‎who confirmed the incident yesterday, said the victim’s father had fled upon the intervention of the law enforcement agents.
He, however, disclosed that the stepmother of the boy, Mrs Kehinde Taiwo, had been arrested.https://newtelegraphonline.com/nine-year-old-boy-chained-tortured-church-father/
