C A C Pastor accused of killing his church drummer- Victim’s family reveals

The family of Pelumi Babayemi has accused the
pastor of a Christ Apostolic Church, David
Ayorinde, of allegedly killing their son, alleging
that the Nigeria Police Force tried to cover up the
case.


The family alleged that prior to the death of
Pelumi, the pastor, whose church is in Abekoko
area of Ifo (Ogun State), had turned him against
them by hypnotizing the victim.


According to Punch, 22-year-old Pelumi, who
played drums, had gone to visit Ayorinde in his
house when he slumped.


The mother of the victim, Peju, said Ayorinde
arrested her and her husband on the pretext that
their son had committed a crime.
She added that after Pelumi slumped, the pastor
went to report to the police instead of taking him
to a hospital in order to save his life.


Peju said, “Pelumi was my only child. He played
drums and used to go to churches to play. The
owner of one of the churches he played for came
to us and asked us to allow him to stay with his
family with the promise that he would work as a
secretary in their bakery. We obliged and he
started living with them.

“All of a sudden, Pelumi left the place. We
searched for him for a while and when he came
back home, he told us that he met a guy in one of
the places he went to play drums, who took him
to Ayorinde that he should be playing drums in
his church. He moved to the pastor’s place. We
kept asking Pelumi to take us to where he was
now staying, but he didn’t because the pastor
had already hypnotized him.


“On July 19, members of the family of the pastor
he formerly stayed with were arrested and his
father and I were also arrested. We were taken to
the Ifo Police Station on the pretext that Pelumi
had stabbed someone and the person was in a
critical condition in a hospital. Unknown to us, it
was Ayorinde, who fabricated the lie.

“We got to the police station around 2 pm and we
were not allowed to see him. It was around 5.30
pm that the policemen told us that Pelumi had
died.”


The father of the deceased, Ebenezer, said the
circumstances surrounding his son’s death
showed that he did not die of natural causes.
He also alleged that the police were trying to
cover up the case by tampering with evidence.
The deceased’s father explained, “We learnt that
my son left the bakery around 11 am and went to
Ayorinde’s place. It was while he was at
Ayorinde’s house that he was told to enter a
room. As soon as he stepped into the room, he
allegedly fell down and died.

“When we went to the hospital, the doctor said
the autopsy showed that if Pelumi had been
taken to the hospital immediately, he would have
survived because he had about four hours to live.
But instead of the pastor to have taken him to a
hospital, he covered him up and went to the
police station and bribed the police to do his
bidding.


“Pelumi fell down around 11 am and we were not
informed until around 2 pm. The police tampered
with his pictures when he died. The police took
his body from the mortuary back to the pastor’s
house and took a different set of pictures.
Pelumi’s belongings are still in the pastor’s place
but as soon as the incident happened, Ayorinde
removed the signboard of his church.”


Meanwhile, the accused pastor has been
arrested and taken into police custody.
