Protest to Adeboye: CAN warns Eedris Abdulkareem, others, says direct your protests to the Government

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged secular musicians who protested to the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, to direct their future protests to the government.

This was stated by the association in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja by its National Director, Legal and Public Affairs, Mr Samuel Vondip.

Some musicians, including led by Eedris Abdulkareem and Baba Fryo on Monday staged a peaceful protest at the RCCG Redemption Camp on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, calling on Pastor Adeboye to speak up against what they termed the injustice in the country.


”While we appreciate the concern of the protesters over the issues they raised and the call for a better nation, we strongly believe that singling out one of our leaders and members, to say the least, is unfair.

”The entire exercise, in our view, was ill-motivated. The people who staged this insulting protest against a highly revered Servant of God in the person of Pastor Adeboye are totally ignorant of the operations of CAN.

”It needs to be known to all that Adebayo had addressed the press on several occasions, saying that as a ‘man under authority’, he cannot speak on issues that CAN or PFN have spoken about,” Vondip said.

He said that any protest against Adeboye would be viewed by CAN as a systematic insult against church leaders in Nigeria.

”Why should any group of people think that it is their right to protest and demand that Pastor Adeboye must speak on the issues they listed when CAN and PFN had spoken about them?

”On about three occasions, CAN had taken many of the issues raised by the protesters to President Muhammadu Buhari

”CAN had requested the government to do more to get the people in Boko Haram captivity released.

“We specifically mentioned the remaining Chibok girls, Leah Sharibu, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, the Islamic preacher who is still kept in detention against the ruling of the court,” he said.

''Remember when I started out in the industry... My dresses were so short, my mum would say I use handkerchiefs to sew my dresses! Over time, especially when I became a mom and a wife, I became conservative and 'covered' with my sense of style and music.
Now you might ask...'what is she doing?' My answer is my current look is intentional in connection to my current sound. 'will it be permanent?' - I don't think so🤣🤣🤣...who knows? I'm just exploring my many sides and loving myself in the process....I'm just Omawonder''

Oyo Governorship: INEC closes case in Adelabu’s petition against Makinde

The Independent National Electoral Commission has closed its case in the petition filed by the All Progressives Congress candidate, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, challenging the victory of Mr Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party in the March 9 governorship election in Oyo State.

The counsel for INEC, Mr Akinlolu Kehinde (SAN), closed the case on Tuesday after calling only one witness in the petition before the Oyo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal.

Kehinde told the tribunal that he was closing his case because INEC had discharged its burden of proof on the matter based on the evidence of his witness and petitioners’ witnesses.


According to the News Agency of Nigeria, INEC only called an INEC staff member, Mrs Kehinde Aderike, who was the Electoral Officer in Ibadan South-East Local Government Area during the election.

The tribunal led by Justice Muhammed Sirajo called on Makinde’s counsel, Mr Ahamefula Ejelam (SAN), to open his case.

Ejelam told the tribunal that he did not envisage that INEC would only call one witness and close his case.

He told the tribunal that his witnesses were coming from different local governments in Oyo State and that he needed time to contact them.

Ejelam prayed the tribunal to adjourn the case till Thursday for him to open his case and an adjournment was consequently granted by the tribunal.

Earlier, Aderike told the tribunal during cross-examination by Ejelam that there was no report of polling units not getting election materials during the governorship election.

She also told the tribunal that she ensured that the election went on smoothly as an electoral officer.

Adelabu and his party, the APC, had earlier called their witnesses and closed their case in the petition while the other respondents in the matter were the PDP and INEC.

Suspect who allegedly murdered landlord & his mistress, makes you turn… says his wife organized their murder (photo)

The Lagos State Police Command, on Tuesday, announced the arrest of one Promise Oguegbu for allegedly killing an accountant, Rasaki Balogun, and his mistress, Muyibat Alabi, in the Ejigbo area of the state.

Punch had reported that Balogun’s wife, Akorede, who discovered the corpses of her husband and Alabi at his second home, reported the incident to the police.

It was gathered that police investigation led to Oguegbu, who was arrested.

While speaking with journalists during a parade by the state Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Panti, Yaba, on Tuesday, the 25-year-old Oguegbu, however, accused Akorede of killing her husband and his mistress.


Oguegbu, one of Balogun’s tenants, stated that he saw when Akorede poured a substance into Balogun and Alabi’s mouths, adding that she pleaded with him (Oguegbu) not to expose her and bribed him with her husband’s car.

The suspect said, “I just came back from South Korea. On Tuesday, June 18, 2019, my landlord’s wife (Akorede) came around and called me to assist her with something. I asked her what it was and she said I should join her in the main building.

“When I got there, I saw a huge man in the sitting room, the man ordered me to tie the landlord girlfriend’s hands. My landlord and his girlfriend were shouting for help, but there was nothing I could do because I was afraid.

“I did not kill my landlord; it was my landlord’s wife who poured something into his mouth and that of his girlfriend. I saw her (Akorede) doing it. She gave me the key to her husband’s car and said I should not expose her. I did not report to the police because I was scared.

“The police arrested the woman (Akorede) and the man who was with her, but I don’t know where they are at the moment. I am not the one to carry their cross; they are not innocent of this crime. The police should also bring them to answer to the crime.”

When confronted with Oguegbu’s claims, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, said the matter was still being investigated.

Lobatan! Heavily pregnant TBoss spotted at a medical diagnostic center in Abuja (photos)

Lobatan! Ex- BBNaija housemate, TBoss is heavily pregnant and here are photos to show for it. First she was rumoured to be carrying Ubi’s baby, a thing she denied and even sent out a long note saying she has known Ubi Franklin for many years. Then ‘researchers’ came up with another theory saying, Uti is actually the father of her child. This again she denied. In fact she denied ever being pregnant. On Uti’s part, he felt pained and loved at the same time, and also suggested no one was pregnant.

But alas, yesterday, July 9th, a Nigerian who is very vast with social media, was at a medical diagnostic centre in Abuja where she spotted TBoss. Being a ‘wakeup’ girl, she stylishly took her photos (unaware of course… it’s obvious from the photos) and slammed it on her Facebook page announcing her pregnancy news to the world. ONE MORE PHOTO BELOW… Girl like blogger!
