Nigerians were met with shock when
photos of a boy chained for months at
a church premises surfaced online.
Francis Taiwo, the father of nine year
old Korede Taiwo who was chained
for weeks without food at the Celestial
Church of Christ (Key of Joy Parish), in
Ajibawo area near Otta in Ogun state,
was arrested yesterday July 24th.
According to the statement he made at
the Otta police station, Francis who is
a pastor in the church, said he
chained his son because of his stealing
habit.
According to him, he wanted to
deliver his son from the spirit of
stealing. Korede’s mother is dead and
has been living with his father and
step mother.
He was rescued last Friday by NSCDC
officials.
