A Lagos-based woman, Grace Abu, has alleged that her neighbour had an affair with her husband, a pastor, and later got her 17-year-old son, Praise, arrested and detained for allegedly kidnapping her stepson, Samuel. Samuel was later found in an orphanage, but Praise remained in a juvenile correctional centre for three months. He was released on March 11 but has since fallen ill. The woman reportedly had three children for the pastor outside of wedlock.
Key Points:
- Praise was arrested on December 17, 2025, and held for about three months.
- Samuel was found on January 21, 2026, but his mother still insisted Praise be held.
- Praise's sister says he is still receiving treatment in the hospital after his release.
- The pastor and his current wife were also arrested but later released.
- The family is now separated, and Praise has not spoken to his mother since his release.
