The Body of the late 9 years old son of Pastor Francis AM Mambu named Jeremiah John Mambu, had been exhumed past Saturday, 30th November 2024, three months after the boy died. The Death of Pastor Mambu’s Son was alleged to be a deliberate act by Pastor Mambu to take the boy’s life.
Pathologist Dr Simeon Owizz Koroma and other doctors and the police, were present at the post mortem on Saturday.
The post mortem result found that the main cause of death was ‘wet’ drowning which led to asphyxiation.
It was also unearthed that the deceased Jeremiah, sustained injuries to his skull around the temple area when he fell inside the water where he drowned.
Pastor Francis A. M. Mambu has been pronounced innocent of the allegation of ritual murder.
The police have alleged from confessions made to them, that some boys pushed Jeremiah from the Orogu Bridge river at Allen Town while they were on a swimming session on Tuesday 23rd August 2024.
According to eye witnesses on that day, the main suspect vigorously pushed Jeremiah from the back which caused him to fall inside the stream. The suspect is alleged to have since disappeared due to death threats issued against him and members of his family.
For years Pastor Francis A. M. Mambu the General Overseer of Faith Healing Bible Church, had been fearing for the safety of his family including his 17 years old daughter, Grace Mambu whom he sent to the USA to be taken care of by the branch Pastor of the Faith Healing Bible Church branch in Virginia, Pastor Peter Sandi.
A brilliant girl at school, Grace was to become reclusive and inattentive at school because of the death threats.
Pastor Mambu, a Fire Brand Evangelical Preacher, denounces and strongly preaches against all forms of idol worship, occultism and corruption so he had been in the bad books of many especially occultists who have been issuing death threats to the Church, Pastor Mambu and family.
The late boy, Jeremiah, was said to have been lured to that bridge which is over 60 metres high by some unknown people before the unfortunate incident took place.
Some arrests have been made and the investigation continues.
