Apostolic Visitation to Odo-Owa: The First Auditorium. (Part 2)
The St. Joseph's Apostolic Church Coordinating Council Cathedral Oke-Iye now named C.A.C Oke Isegun DCC headquarters houses the first commissioned auditorium built by Apostle Ayo Babalola on 3rd April,1948. History has it that the site of this auditorium was formerly a forbidden, uninhabitable, enchanted forest known as Igbo omo tuntun where the hunchbacks, people killed mysteriously by spells or thunderbolt and thieves were buried. The reigning King in those days pleaded with Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola to help chase away the evil spirits in the forest which he did with the power of the Holy Ghost Fire and within three days a space was cleared and a structure erected till completion in 1948. 3 special strong wooden chairs that have stood the test of time till today are located in this auditorium one of which was made for him to sit on during church services, that of Prophet Olulana Babajide and the third is that of the Biological father of Apostle Babalola himself. Also in the church compound lies the grave of Madam Martha Talabi Rotimi, the Biological mother of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola who died on 12th January, 1981, 22 years after Apostle Babalola's death.
