During the ministration, Tobi
who is a sickler and epileptic fell and it was assumed that he had
fallen under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
However it was discovered at the wee
hours of the next day that on the floor lay the lifeless body of Tobi who had
experienced epileptic convulsions during the midnight prayers and had died in
the process.
It was further reported that Tobi’s
landlord alerted the police who arrested Kehinde at the Iree police station. Few
days after receiving bail, he was rearrested and transferred to the Osun State
Criminal Investigation Department Command.
While addressing news men, the Police
Spokesperson for the state, Sade Odoro, denied reports that the teenage pastor
was being held in their custody claiming that the parents of the deceased did
not make the case a criminal one since they knew the health condition of their
child.

according to reports also revealed that Kehinde was truly being held by the
State police.
