This Baby died in the church right after his dedication (PHOTO)

I'm lost Here... Could it be that the child had health issues or the pastor has got a hand in this... 

A baby belonging to Godwin and Amaka Mark was said to have died after its dedication by a pastor who presides over a church at Baruwa area of Ipaja in Lagos.

According to LIB, the story was reported by a witness who insisted on being anonymous. The source said the Pastor (names withheld) dedicated the baby on June 1 but soon after the blessing, the baby gave up right there in church.

Mrs. Mark is now pointing accusing fingers at the Pastor who, according to her, had a hand in her baby’s death. It was rather unusual for a pastor dedicating a baby without carrying the child on his hand. What the Pastor did was to sprinkle oil and he prayed without even touching the baby. 

When someone who was invited by the couple, 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 their child was no more breathing, they called the pastor on his mobile phone. The pastor refused to come back to the church with the excuse 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”! Just that...

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 then threatened to sue Mrs Amaka Mark if she does not retract her statement within 7days. The couple made it very clear to the pastor that they were ready for any legal tussle with him. 

Gist now is that the pastor is now pleading with the couple in order not to make it public.

However though, could it be that the baby was not given a clean bill of health by a medical personnel before the church dedication. It will be interesting to observe how??

What do you think?
