SHOCKING: Nine-year old boy, chained, tortured by church, rescued in Ogun

The NSCDC said in a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday that Taiwo Korede was on Friday rescued from the Celestial Church of Christ (Key of Joy Parish, Ajiwo) at Ajibawo in Ado Odo/Ota local government area of Ogun State.
