A policeman was on Wednesday killed by a mob at the Sotitobire Praising Chapel, Oshinle Quarters, Akure, the Ondo State capital. The angry youths also set the church ablaze following the protest over a missing one-year-old boy during church service in November. It was gathered that the residents of the area got angry when some pastors of the church started morning service on Wednesday. They alleged that the church was not showing remorse about the missing boy. The pastor of the church, Prophet Alfa Babatunde, was said to be in the custody of the Directorate of State Service.
