Police shut down Church for Burying A Two-Year-Old Baby Alive


The Nigeria Police has sealed off the Christ Gospel Apostolic Church located in Egbeda area of Lagos and arrested the pastor for allegedly burying a two-year-old baby, alive.
Report says policemen attached to the Idimu Division invaded the church recently and exhumed the body of the victim for autopsy and subsequently arrested the pastor of the church whose name was given as Dare Ogunloye.
It was gathered that the Divisional Police Officer, Mike Ochuko, ordered his men to exhume the corpse from the church premises for autopsy.


Sources said the traditional ruler of Egbeda kingdom, Oba Samson Balogun who waded into the case had called on the Lagos State Government to shut the church if the allegation was true.
The man of God met his Waterloo when a resident close to the church who had gone out to ease himself at about 2 am saw the man burying the child within the church premise.

The Pastor is currently been detained at the police station.

State Power Plants Already Making Impact


The Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola, said that the power plants constructed in the state are already making impact in different sectors of the economy.
Addressing the stakeholders at the Lagos Economic Summit, Governor Fashola said that the two power plants at Alausa and Lagos Island, constructed after the last summit, had improved power supply in hospitals, 14 schools, police commands and some courts.
“The power plants generated 259 jobs during the construction alone.  It has impacted security in the state and over 42 streets have been lit-up across the state.
“About 198 generators have been decommissioned,” he said.
The governor, however, emphasised the need for more of such power plants to help boost power supply in the state which requires over 10,000 megawatts of electricity to meet demand.
It is currently getting only 1,000 megawatts from the national grid.

Governor Fashola pointed out that a study conducted by the State government among 22 traders in Iyana Ipaja area of the state, before and after lighting up some streets, showed that their average monthly incomes grew by 42 per cent, from 78,000 Naira to 110, 760 Naira, a development he said highlighted the impact power could have on the income of Nigerians if adequately provided.

He stressed that the traders attributed
