Revered and idolised Bishop Jeremiah Dawodu, pastor of a Nigerian megachurch, has been arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Folasade, the ‘First Lady’ of the church. The arrest was public, humiliating and sensational – sending shockwaves through Lagos– but throughout it all, Bishop Dawodu maintains his innocence.
Following the success of solving the Okriki Three case, Philip Taiwo, an acclaimed investigative psychologist, is asked by his sister, a member of the church’s congregation, to clear the pastor’s name. As Taiwo plunges deeper into the investigation, he discovers secrets that go beyond the missing persons case, one’s that threaten to destroy the Bishop and the church.
Was it murder or suicide? Is someone framing the Bishop or the First Lady? Gaslight is a riveting follow up to Femi Kayode’s acclaimed debut, Lightseekers.
