According to the Tribune, a pastor of The Apostolic
Church, Oke Afata, Gbongan in Osun State on
Wednesday, hacked another pastor, one Julius
Olusoji Oguntoye, to death after accusing him of
stealing his glory.
It was gathered that the murder took place at
about 8.00 p.m. in front of the mission house of
The Apostolic Church, Okeola, Gbongan, which was

reportedly led other detectives to the scene where
they recovered the cutlass used by Adepoju to
inflict fatal injuries on his fellow pastor, and he
confessed to the crime.

Adepoju reportedly left his residence with a cutlass
and went to Oguntoye's official residence, and
accused him of casting a spell on him, thereby
'stealing his glory' and those of his children.
He was also said to have alleged that the deceased
rained curses on him, warning him to stop all those
things.
