The Ondo state police command has arraigned a pastor, John Abiodun, and a university lecturer, Dr Lanre Olu-Adeyemi, before the Ondo State High Court, Akure, for allegedly spreading fake news about the founder of a church, the Promised Land Prophetic Ministry, Akure, Pastor Gbenga Akinbiyi.

According to the police, Abiodun and Olu-Adeyemi were members of the church before they fell out with the pastor. They allegedly went about spreading fake news on the social media that the church and its founder, Akinbiyi, as well as other members allegedly buried a placenta and a newborn baby in the altar.
