Francis Taiwo, the controversial Pastor of The Key Joy Celestial Church, who initially attempting to escape law enforcement authorities after chaining his 9-year-old son for several weeks, has confessed the reasons behind his action.

He also told officials that he married Korede’s mother Marine Taiwo, from Delta State who bore four children for him before their divorce in 2007.

IGP IDRIS: ARASE STOLE 24 POLICE VEHICLES – ARASE REFUTES CLAIMS

Ibrahim Idris, the acting Inspector-General of Police has accused his predecessor, Solomon Arase of leaving the force with 24 police vehicles, claiming that seven retired Deputy Inspectors-General of Police, also made away with several cars belonging to the force.

The acting IGP who made this revelation while addressing newsmen on Sunday in Abuja, said he had written Arase to return the cars.

In his words,: “So, what I am telling you is that I have signed a directive to my SIP (I have a special investigation panel, I set it up). It is going to investigate all the vehicle purchases, contributions to the police and the distribution of those vehicles in the last three years; we are going to look into that.

“When I took over, there was no vehicle, even the vehicle I would use. I discovered the last IG went away with 24 vehicles; the DIGs, some of them eight, some of them seven. The IG’s vehicles included two BMW 7 series, one armoured; and he left me with an old car.

“The last time I followed the President with it, he was asking me, ‘what are you doing with this old car’ because if you see the headlight, the thing has changed colour, which means they parked it and rains and everything had fallen on it, but the new ones that were bought, he (Arase) went with all of them; they are part of the 24.

“I wrote back to him and said, we have a policy that says when a policeman retires, if you are an IG, AIG, a CP, you are entitled to some vehicles; please, the extra, return it. Four vehicles are enough for an average human being, but what will you even do with four vehicles; but he took 24 vehicles, including two BMW cars.

“I wrote to him (Arase), I wrote to the DIGs.”

However, Arase was quick to deny it, calling the accusation a "malicious propaganda ".

He said, “What am I going to do with 24 cars? Do I want to open a car shop? This is a malicious accusation. There are ways of verifying issues rather than engaging in media propaganda.”
