The murdered baby was popularly called "baby Joy Olubodun'' was the daughter of Mr Mathew Olubodun, the resident pastor of the Church.

Rhodes-Vivour declared: "if ever there was a criminal appeal completely devoid of any merit whatsoever this one scores very high marks.

Whoever kills with a sword shall die by a sword...So no one would pity this killer cos he took a life too. The world is just full of evil doers.
