Prophet remanded in prison for filming Toluwanisings’ corpse after failed attempt to resurrect him
Moses Idowu has been arrested and charged following an unsuccessful attempt to resurrect a deceased singer. Reports indicate that Idowu filmed the singer’s corpse at a morgue during his visit, claiming he had the power to raise the dead.
The Oyo State Police Command took Idowu into custody after he filmed the body and subsequently shared the recording online. He faces four charges, which include unlawful filming and publication, indignity to a deceased human body, defamation, and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.
On Friday, police spokesperson DSP Ayanlade Olayinka confirmed that the court has ordered Idowu’s remand at a correctional facility and scheduled the next court appearance for December 2, 2026.
According to police statements, Idowu recorded the video without obtaining consent from the deceased’s family, thus subjecting the remains to indignity and exacerbating the family’s grief.
