In Ondo state, the police command says it is not true that the body of a missing child was found at the altar of Sotitobire Miracle Church in Akure, the state capital.

 

Irate youths had set the church on fire on Wednesday over a rumour that the corpse of a one-year-old boy declared missing was exhumed in the church.

 

The baby, Gold Kolawole was declared missing during a church service in November.

 

The spokesperson of the Ondo state police command, Femi Joseph said a popular television station in the state had misled the people to believe the rumour.

 

The state Commissioner of Police, Undie Adie called for peace while also denying the claim that the body of a year-old boy was exhumed from the church.
