C&S Elder Found Dead in Ondo Hotel Hours Before Installation

'The actions taken after the deceased's death raise concerns about the handling of the body and possible conspiracy,' said DSP Abayomi Jimoh.

A 71-year-old Cherubim and Seraphim Church elder, Elder Omotayo Ezekiel Fajana, was found dead in a hotel in Ondo State's Akungba-Akoko area just hours before a scheduled installation ceremony. The police have launched an investigation into the incident and arrested three suspects, including a nephew of the deceased.

Fajana was in Akungba-Akoko for the installation as Head Prayer Warrior Father (Baba Aladura) of a church faction at Ogo Orimolade C&S Church on Okerigbo-Ikare Road. However, the ceremony turned tragic when the respected church elder was found dead in a hotel room under circumstances the police consider suspicious.

According to DSP Abayomi Jimoh, the Ondo State Police Command spokesperson, preliminary investigations have raised concerns about the handling of the deceased's body after his death. The police are probing allegations that some church officials and hotel staff moved Fajana's remains from the hotel to a mortuary in Ikare-Akoko without first obtaining a medical certificate or official confirmation of the cause of death from a qualified doctor.

'The actions taken after the deceased's death raise concerns about the handling of the body and possible conspiracy,' said DSP Abayomi Jimoh. The police have ordered a comprehensive investigation to establish the actual cause of death and determine whether any criminal act was involved.

This incident has generated reactions within religious circles and across the Akoko community, given Fajana's status and the significance of the installation ceremony that was abruptly halted. Residents and church members are awaiting the outcome of the investigation as questions continue to surround the circumstances of his death.

Elder Omotayo Ezekiel Fajana was respected for his dedication to the Cherubim and Seraphim Church and was widely admired by his community. His death has left a void in the church and community, and many are seeking answers about the circumstances surrounding his passing.
