Residents of No 2 Salako Street, off Moyo Agoro Street, Ogba Lagos, were awoken this morning, Monday, January 10th, 2020 to a terrifying scene.
The co-tanents were roused from their sleep around 2 a.m by the shouts “ALLOY DON KILL PERSON” to meet a twelve-year-old boy lying dead and lifeless in his own blood, according to a neighbor who requested anonymity.

Alloy Ukpai also known as Alloy Jesus and is a well-known preacher on the street. Alloy began beating this young boy from 12 midnight till around 1 am.
When Alloy realized the youngster was dead, he unlocked the door to the room where he had imprisoned his two other apprentices and instructed them to accompany him to the business place (shop) to gather money to transport Sunday to the hospital. Getting to the shop, He told one of the boys to wait at the shop while carrying the other on his bike, telling him they were going to obtain medication for the injured child.
When they arrived at the street gate, he told the boy to come down and cross on foot while he drove through, so the security wouldn’t stop them. After crossing he speeded away.
