Favour and suspects Favour and suspects

The Cherubim and Seraphim Church has publicly denied self acclaimed pastor, Segun Philips, who was involved in the death of LASU undergraduate, Favour.

Philips who confessed to have collected N210,000 to use the victim for money rituals was reportedly said to be the head of the C&S, Solution Chapel, Oke-ile, Osun State.

However, the church in a statement by its Chief Public Relations Officer, Apostle M. O. Adeyemi, stated that there was no record that Philips was associated with the church or its officers in the Irewolede/Isokan Local Government Area of Osun State, where he allegedly committed the heinous crime.

Adeyemi stated, “We have contacted all our officers in the zone and they said they did not know him or his church. Besides, our youth fellowship members went as far as locating his church and came with the reports, including photographs, that there was no signpost or imprint of the C&S in his place of worship.”

Meanwhile, Mrs Bola Adeeko, the mother of the 23-year-old, Owolabi has denied involvement in the murder.

Bola claimed that she was deceived by her son and Philips that the heart of a goat was used to prepare a concoction for her and Owolabi.
