“After about a month, the woman came back to my church to give testimonies that the prayer she received in my church has solved her
problems.
“She also stated that she had been battling with the problems for the past eight years at Akinsanya’s Church without solution.
“When Akinsanya heard of the testimonies, he vowed to kill me because almighty God used me to solve the problem of his former church member”,
Ogunsola stated.
Following the report, IGP Adamu directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP in charge of FSARS, Lagos, Durosimi Olatoye to hunt down
the suspects.
