Following the investigation into the murder of a 400 level Lagos State University Student, new information seems to be unfolding.
The Pastor who performed the money ritual using the heart of Favor Daley-Oladele, an undergraduate of Lagos State University (LASU) confessed to the crime and according to reports, he was believed to be a pastor of The Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria.
However, The Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria has come out to say that the pastor is not a member of their church.
In a statement which was released by C&S Chief Public Relations Officer, Apostle M. O. Adeyemi, it stated that there was no record that Philips was associated with the church or its officers in the Irewolede/Isokan Local Government Area of Osun State, where he committed the crime.
Adeyemi said, “We have contacted all our officers in the zone and they said they did not know him or his church. Besides, our youth fellowship members went as far as locating his church and came with the reports, including photographs, that there was no signpost or imprint of the C&S in his place of worship.”

On the other hand, Mrs Bola Adeeko, the mother of the 23-year-old, Owolabi has denied involvement in the murder.
According to Bola, she was deceived by her son and Philips that the heart of a goat was used to prepare a concoction for her and Owolabi.
Bola said, “I did not know anything about the girl’s killing. I was surprised when the police told me that my son had committed murder.
I wasn’t aware that the concoction given to me was made with human parts. I am devastated. In fact, I have not eaten anything since Friday, when I was arrested.”
