The Founder of Sotitobire Praising Chapel Akure, Prophet Alfa Babatunde, will begin defence next Thursday in the ongoing trial at the Ondo State High Court sitting in Akure over the disappearance of one-year-old Gold Kolawole in his church last year.
The court presided over by Justice Olusegun Odusola also admitted as exhibit, one of the retrieved phones of Prophet Babatunde from the 7th defendant, Peter Anjorin.
The last prosecution witness, Mr Johnson Adebayo, of the Department of State Service, DSS, while giving evidence testified that he was only directed by the management to lead the 7th defendant, Peter Anjorin, to a vehicle to pick his personal property, within the DSS premises.
Adebayo, said the 7th defendant who was accompanied by a Lawyer, Akinyemi Omoware, picked three phones from the car, including one Samsung Galaxy note 10, which he said, belonged to him.
“After some days, the management sent for me. On arrival, I met the 7th defendant in the office. It was then I realised that the last phone picked by the 7th defendant, Samsung Galaxy note 10, belonged to Alfa Babatunde.
The court, however, admitted the phone as exhibit.
The prosecution led by the State Attorney General and Commissioner for justice, Mr Adekola Olawoye, closed it case with the 9th witness.
Justice Odunsola, however, adjourned the case till June,25, 29, and 30, 2020 for commencement of defence in the case, while June 23, earlier scheduled for bail application still remains.
