Firstclass newsline gathered that the 32-year-old victim was found
dead in the church auditorium on Thursday, last week, at the Peace
Estate, Baruwa, Ipaja.
It was learnt that the father of four had entered the church on the
fateful day, crying for help.
He was said to have suddenly collapsed on the floor and died.
Policemen from the Ipaja division were said to have been invited. They
arrested the pastor and another member of the church, Folashade Ebun.
Ebun told a source that she was on the church premises when the
deceased entered the church.
The mother of three said the deceased, who lived in the Abule area of
Ipaja and worked in a block moulding factory, had run into the church
for help.
She said, "That Thursday morning, I was sweeping the church auditorium
in readiness for a programme. While sweeping, a man ran into the
church, crying for help.
"He was shouting 'pastor help meo, I will dieo'. I thought someone was
chasing him, but I later discovered he was alone.
"He fell to the ground and I quickly called the pastor, who came in
almost immediately.
"Sincerely, we have nothing to do with his death. I have confidence in
the God that we serve. He will vindicate us."
Twenty-seven-year old Oluwasomidotun told firstclass newsline he was
preparing for a church meeting when Ebun, who lives in the church,
called him.
He said, "I am the presiding pastor of the church and I also live on
the church premises. On that day, I was preparing for a programme when
I heard Folashade (Ebun) shouting, 'pastor, come and help'.
"I ran into the church auditorium. I saw her standing next to a man on
the ground.
"She told me that the man ran into the church calling for help, and
that he suddenly slumped and died."
The pastor said the owner of the church later advised him to report
the incident to the police.
The policemen, who however suspected a foul play, arrested both the
pastor and Ebun.
The case was said to have been transferred to the Department of
Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
Firstclass newsline gathered that the victim had been divorced for
about seven years, and had lived alone before the incident.
His uncle, Chief Idowu Animashaun, said he learnt about the incident
two days after it happened.
He said, "Waheed lived a reckless life; that was why I stopped him
from coming to my house."
His ex-wife, who gave her name simply as Moshundat, said their
marriage crashed due to his lifestyle.
"I was married to Waheed for eight years and I had four children for him.
"But in the later part of our marriage, he took to drinking and
leaving home for as long as two months without asking how the children
and I were surviving.
"I don't know who to suspect for his death," she said.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Command, Kenneth
Nwosu, when contacted said he would get back to firstclass newsline
crew.
But he had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
