Trouble started when people who visited the church found the story not to be true but found members of the church holding the mid-week service. It will be recalled that the church had suspended service for a long time over the missing boy saga. According to the source, the church members resisted the mob and invited police which infuriated the mob, leading to setting the church, vehicles, and some other houses within the area ablaze. The General Overseer of the Church, Prophet Babatunde Alfa, was arrested by the men of DSS last week Tuesday over the missing boy. However, while reacting to the allegations, the State Command Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Femi Joseph, dismissed the allegation against the police as false.
