Prophet Alfa Babatunde, founder of Sotitobire Miracle Centre, Akure, Ondo State, has been sentenced to life imprisonment over his involvement in the disappearance of Gold Kolawole, a toddler, in his church.
He was sentenced on Tuesday, October 6, 2020, by Justice Olusegun Odusola of the Ondo State High Court, Akure.
Gold Kolawole, 1, was reported to have disappeared from the church in Akure on November 10 during a Sunday Service.
The prophet was jailed alongside six other defendants including Omodara Olayinka, Margaret Oyebola, Grace Ogunjobi, Egunjobi Motunrayo, Esther Kayode and Peter Anjorin.
Justice Odusola condemned in strong terms the complicity, compromise and lackadaisical attitude of the Ondo State Police command after Kolawole went missing, an incident that led to the burning of the church.
Prophet Babatunde was arrested on December 10, 2019, by the Department of the State Services following a petition by parents of the missing child.
