“We started hearing the boy saying meaningless things from inside the wall,” she said.

Adebayo said that people broke the wall and rescued the boy the next morning, adding that his grandmother later came to pick him up.

Another neighbour, Felicia Olaniyi, the owner of the food canteen at the other side of the house said: “The boy was said to have escaped from his grandmother one evening while she was taking him to a church for healing. The boy must have fallen in-between the walls of the two buildings.”

Determined to get to the root of the matter and more revelations, Channels Television crew proceeded to the church where the boy was taken to by his grandmother for healing, overseen by an old woman, Prophetess Dorcas Adebayo.
