Chained victims: Shallow graves found in ‘prophet’s’ home

Police in Lagos State yesterday disclosed that shallow graves have been discovered on the premises of the house where 28 people were rescued last Friday. 

The state Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, who confirmed this, said some graves were also discovered in the swamp behind the house.
On Friday, police swooped on the house of a self-acclaimed prophet, Emmanuel Adeyemi, at Oyinbo Unity Estate, Olamidun Close, Yakoyo, Ojodu, where they rescued 28 people, including 13 children and 15 adults, who were chained up.
One of those rescued was Adeyemi’s teenage stepson, identified as Toba Adedoyin. Owoseni said: “We had another tipoff that there were people he buried in that compound and he confirmed it during interrogation. “Because the area is swampy, the suspect had allegedly buried some people in the swamp and about three others in the house. “When we asked him of their identities, he said it was some of his patients brought to his home from the hospital, after they were given up for dead, that finally died in his care and were buried in the swamp.https://newtelegraphonline.com/chained-victims-shallow-graves-found-prophets-home/
