In a shocking incident that occurred in Ogun State, a pastor identified as Taiwo Odebiyi allegedly set a 21-year-old lady named Sukura Owodunni ablaze during a deliverance session.
The incident took place on August 17, 2023, at the Cherubim and Seraphim Maberu Parish in Offin, Sagamu.
According to reports, Owodunni had visited the church after receiving an invitation from the pastor for a special prayer. During the session, she was instructed to purchase Amazing Grace perfume, local eggs, and a candle for the deliverance.
