Nigerian Parents Arrested In America After Son Dies During 40-Day Fasting

Nigerian parents, Titilayo and Kehinde Omosebi, have been arrested by the Reedsburg Police in Wisconsin, US, after their son, Ayanfe, starved to death during a religious fast.

According to the Facebook page of Reedsburg Police, the father of the deceased, Kehinde walked into the police station to report that his son had died on Sunday. Police revealed that they went to the home of the Omosebis and had to force their way in, as the doors were padlocked from the inside.

Religion is good if done the right way and not very body can do 40days the highest I have done was 7 days and not without food in the evening. People should know one thing the grace we all carry is different.
