Police said the man, Lanre Falodu, was taken to the church by his brother, Tunde, to seek spiritual solution to his problem.
It was gathered that Lanre escaped from where he was kept at about 5:30 am and was later found hanging from a tree within the church premises.
The pastor of the church discovered the lifeless body and informed Police in Owo after which cops came to the scene and took the body to the Owo General Hospital morgue.
According to the newspaper report: "Ondo State Police Command imagemaker, Wole Ogodo, said the matter had not been reported at the state police command in Akure, but promised to contact Owo Divisional Police Officer, DPO.
In another development, an aged woman reportedly committed suicide at Idanre area of the state.
Police imagemaker said the woman, believed to be mentally sick, poured petrol on her body, set herself ablaze and died before help could reach her.
Ogodo said the corpse had been deposited in a mortuary.
But a police source in Owo said the pastor of the church and father of the deceased had been questioned.
He confided in Vanguard that the deceased might have some mental challenge hence his sojourn in the church for spiritual deliverance.
The state police command has insisted in conducting the autopsy to ascertain the cause of his death".
