In a shocking incident, a 21-year-old woman named Sukura Owodunni was reportedly severely burned in an incident involving a pastor named Taiwo Odebiyi. The unfortunate incident occurred during a special prayer session at the pastor's Cherubim and Seraphim Maberu Parish in Offin, located in the Sagamu area of Ogun State.

Owodunni had been invited to the church by Pastor Odebiyi for what was meant to be a deliverance session. As part of the prayer ritual, the pastor instructed the young woman to procure items for the session, including Amazing Grace perfume, local eggs, and a candle.

During the prayer session, Pastor Odebiyi allegedly poured perfume on Owodunni's body and lit the candle. Tragically, a fire broke out as the candle was lit, engulfing Owodunni in flames. She suffered serious burns to her chest, shoulder, and legs.

Eyewitnesses at the scene reported the incident to the authorities, leading to the swift intervention of the Divisional Police Officer in Adigbe, CSP Abdulfattah Ogunsanya, and his team. They immediately apprehended the pastor on the premises.

State Police Public Relations Officer SP Omolola Odutola confirmed the incident, noting that an investigation had been initiated to uncover the tragic event's circumstances. The young victim was rushed to the hospital for medical attention, as she had been left without support to cover her medical expenses following the incident.

"Our men have arrested the suspect. The case will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department after perfecting the preliminary investigation," Odutola stated.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the need for thorough investigation and accountability in such cases. The young woman's painful ordeal underscores the importance of ensuring safety and responsible practices in all religious and spiritual settings.
