It was a jubilation galore for members of the Sotitobire Praising Chapel, Akure, the Ondo State capital as the Court of Appeal siting in the town discharged and acquitted the founder of the church, Alfa Babatunde, who was earlier convicted by the state High Court over the missing of a one-year-old boy, Gold Kolawole.

The lower court, presided over by Justice Olusegun Odusola in 2020, sentenced Babatunde and five others – Omodara Olayinka, Margaret Oyebola, Grace Ogunjobi, Egunjobi Motunrayo and Esther Kayode – to life imprisonment, having found them guilty of the charges. He said,”The court has affirmed that DSS can investigate any case and does not have a jurisdictional problem to investigate a case like this.”
