No fewer than four persons have died as many have been hospitalized due to a suspected case of cholera outbreak at the Celestial church of Christ, Apata Iye Circuit NNPC area Apata Ibadan.
This incident allegedly occurred last Sunday, when the church had a “Feast of Love” popularly known as “Ipese” in the Celestial doctrine where people are served food to eat.
Hours after the service many church members started Vomiting and stooling, which resembled symptoms of Cholera.
This eventually led many to be hospitalized and some were reportedly declared dead.
The church Leader Prophet Akin Kilanko while speaking with Oduduwa News, insists that the incident has nothing to do with rituals but it’s a Cholera outbreak.
He warns naysayers to desist from peddling fake and unverified stories and have the fear of God.
Meanwhile, a welder who has his workshop close to the Church premises, Adewale Babatunde is surprised as to why the Victims are only members of the Church who were at the Sunday service and not anyone else in the neighbourhood.
Meanwhile, the Oyo state ministry of Health has highlighted some areas in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital as areas being closely watched for Cholera outbreak.
