The operatives of the Osun Sate Police Command have arrested three suspects in connection with the attack on a Celestial Church located in Odu Village near Osogbo, Osun on Tuesday, August 1.
The suspects abducted 12 members of the church, but the victims fled from their captors when they ran into some hunters and other local volunteers that responded to the distress call.
During the incident, a member of the church was reportedly raped by the suspects.
The State’s Police Command Spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, while speaking with journalists, admonished religious bodies against having programmes late in the evening or early morning, especially in centres located in isolated places. Opalola added that the suspects will continue to be interrogated.
