Gunmen invade Ogun Church, kill Prophet during sunday service

In a tragic incident, Prophet Yomi Adetula, the spiritual head of the Celestial Church of Christ, Eagle Parish, in Idiroko, Ogun State, was shot dead during a church service on Sunday by three gunmen.

The attack occurred in the full view of worshippers, leaving the congregation in shock. Adetula, aged 54, was not only a prophet but also a Commander in the Ogun State So-Safe Security outfit.

According to a statement from the Ogun State Police Public Relations Office, the attackers fired multiple shots at the prophet and gruesomely mangled his head with an axe before fleeing the scene.

The statement detailed the events, saying:
“On 19/01/25, at approximately 10:30hrs, the Divisional Police Officer in Idiroko received a report of a killing at the Celestial Church of Christ along Old Baggage Road, Odo Eran, Idiroko.

“Police officers arrived at the scene to find the lifeless body of Yomi Adetula lying in a pool of blood. His white Celestial garment was stained, and his body was riddled with bullets. The attackers had also mutilated his head to ensure his death.”

Eyewitnesses reported that the three assailants entered the church, aimed at the prophet with a double-barrel gun, and fired a fatal shot, leaving no chance of survival.

The prophet’s remains have been deposited at the General Hospital in Ilaro, while police investigations are ongoing. Authorities suspect the killers fled towards the border area and have vowed to apprehend them.

The Ogun State Police Command has assured the public that no effort will be spared in bringing the perpetrators of this horrific act to justice.
