“I Lied To My Mother”— New Converts Who Killed RCCG Pastor After He Gave Them Shelter, Confess


Two fleeing murder suspects who killed Pastor Babatunde Dada of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) on 6th Avenue, Festac Town, have been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command. 

 Farouk Mohammed and Jamiu Kasali, who claimed to be upcoming musicians had stabbed the 46-year-old pastor to death on December 2, 2021 and fled with his bag containing some money.

 It would be recalled that both suspects had approached the unsuspecting pastor at the church, on the pretext that they were strangers in Lagos and had nowhere to stay. 

 They had attended church service the Sunday before the incident, and had also came out during an altar call to 'surrender their lives to Jesus'. 

 The clergyman had allowed them stay in a room in the church, which also served as his residence only to be attacked at about 12pm the very next day and left to die. 

 15-year-old Mohammed, in an interview, told reporters that he lied to his mother that he was travelling to Lagos for a show, being an up and coming Musician. 

 “I lied to my mother that I would get at least, N200K from the show. We are upcoming musicians. We have been in the industry for three years. When things were not going on as planned, we decided to do something else, in order to invest in our music industry. 

“Our mission in Lagos was to look for where to perform. But that plan changed immediately we saw Pastor with the bag containing money,” he said. 

 On his own part, Kasali told reporters how they attacked the pastor. 

 “On the day we struck, the Pastor came to Church in the morning, gave us money for food and left. Later, he came in with a bag containing money. A Few hours before then, Farouk got a telephone call from his mother, urging him to come home quickly that she was sick. We were contemplating on how he would get money to take his mother to the hospital when the Pastor walked in with the bag containing money.
