Peter Omope, a Pastor of the Celestial Church of Christ, Jesu Yan Parish, located at Olambe Junction, Acute, Ogun State has been arrested by the state police for shooting an 18-year-old first time church visitor.

Te Pastor is said to have shot the young lady, Kemi Johnson at the entrance of the church.

Confirming the incident, on Saturday, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said that one Deji Olalekan made a report at the police divisional headquarters, Ajuwon, Akute.

According to him: “After dropping the madam, they took the vehicle to the house of their boss relation as directed.

“But on their way home, they were informed that the Oro sacrifice was ongoing at Olambe area which made it impossible for them to pass through the area.

“They then saw a celestial church where a vigil was ongoing and decided to join them since it was already late in the night.

“While they were at the entrance of the church, the suspect who happened to be the shepherd in- charge came out with a pump action rifle and before they could utter any explanation, he shot Kemi Johnson on the leg.

“Upon the distress call, the DPO, Ajuwon division SP Andrew Akinseye quickly mobilised his men and moved to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.

“The victim was quickly rushed to Ifako Ijaye general hospital, from where she was referred to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital and finally to Orthopedics Hospital Igbobi Lagos.

“The pump action rifle and five live cartridges had been recovered from the suspect.”

The PPRO stated that the state commissioner of police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further questioning.
