A horrifying attack occurred during a Sunday service at the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) in Idiroko, Ipokia Local Government Area of Ogun State, as gunmen stormed the premises and brutally killed a 54-year-old prophet, Yomi Adetula.

The incident happened at the CCC Eagle Parish on Baggage Road, Odo Eran, Idiroko, around 10:30 am. According to witnesses, three armed assailants entered the church, shot the prophet, and gruesomely mutilated his head with an axe to ensure his death.

Ogun State Police Spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the tragic event in a statement released on Sunday afternoon. Describing the scene, Odutola said, “Police officers arrived at the location and found Yomi Adetula, a 54-year-old male, lying lifeless in a pool of blood, his white celestial garment soaked. His body bore multiple gunshot wounds, and his head had been severely mutilated with an axe.”

Eyewitness accounts revealed that the attackers used a long double-barrel gun to shoot their target before fleeing toward the border area. The prophet’s remains have since been taken to the General Hospital Morgue in Ilaro, while the police intensify efforts to uncover the motive and apprehend the perpetrators.

“Normalcy has been restored, and an investigation has been launched to provide more details and ensure justice for this tragic event,” Odutola assured.
