BABY ALLEGEDLY DIES IN CHURCH AFTER DEDICATION [PHOTO]

"A witness to the sad incident sent me the story...but I am going to leave out the name
of the church and the pastor who dedicated the baby, because I haven't been able to
verify the authenticity of the story, but the person who sent it to me swears this happened. Her story below...

"The story is about a couple who
attends a church around the IPO axis in Lagos. The name of the Church is (name withheld) opposite the MTN mast in
Baruwa around Ipaja area of Lagos State. The Pastor whose name is (name withheld) dedicated a baby on sunday
1st June, 2014 and the baby (pictured above) died right there in the church.

It was an unusual thing to have seen a pastor dedicating a baby without carrying the baby on his hand. What the Pastor did was to sprinkle oil andche prayed without even touching the
baby. When someone who was invited by the couple, Godwin and Amaka Mark
asked them why the pastor wasn't carrying the baby, they stated that it was a norm in that church for babies to
be dedicated in that manner. Soon after the benediction, the Pastor disappeared
from the church and when the parents of the dead baby realized that theircchild was no more breathing, they
called the pastor on his mobile phone.

The pastor refused to come back to the church stating that he had already taken off his clothes. He was further told that the baby which he had just
dedicated was dead and his response was, "it is well"!

The bereaved parents had to go and bury their dead child with the assistance of the invited guests. The following day, the pastor sent some
people to pay a condolence visit to the bereaved couple. The mother of the deceased child said that the pastor
knows about the death of her child and when she expressed her displeasure over
the Pastor's actions, the emissary went back to inform the pastor.

The pastor has threatened to sue Mrs Amaka Mark if she does not retract her statement within 7days.
Mr and Mrs Mark made it very clear to the pastor that they were ready for any legal tussle with him. Now the pastor has been pleading with the couple in
order not to make it public."
