Armed Bandits Attack First ECWA Church in Ayetoro Kiri, Kill One and Abduct Worshippers

Armed bandits launched an attack on the First ECWA Church in Ayetoro Kiri, Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State early Sunday, December 14, 2025, leaving one person dead and several worshippers reportedly kidnapped. The deceased, identified only as Jayjay, was killed during the assault. The total number of abducted worshippers has not yet been confirmed, as security operatives and local authorities continue their assessment. This attack comes amid rising insecurity in Okun land, following a similar incident on November 30, 2025, when armed men raided a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Ejiba, Yagba West Local Government Area. During that attack, the cleric Orlando and several worshippers were abducted. The assailants initially demanded a ₦500 million ransom, later reducing it to ₦200 million, giving families a two-day deadline and warning of unspecified consequences if the demand was not met. Residents also recalled that Ayetoro Kiri faced an earlier threat about three weeks ago when armed assailants attempted to raid a local school. On that occasion, the community vigilante group successfully repelled the attackers, preventing any casualties or abductions. The latest church attack has intensified fears among locals, who are urging the Kogi State Government and security agencies to step up efforts to protect lives and prevent further incidents.

I Won’t Join APC, I’m Committed to PDP – Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan Ahead of 2027 Elections

Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central has confirmed that she has been approached several times by officials from the Presidency and some colleagues to join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), but she has consistently declined, affirming her commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Speaking on the Mic On Podcast with Seun Okinbaloye, she explained that joining the APC is not an option for her. “I was in APC briefly at the start of everything. Why should I go and join APC? I don’t have to follow the bandwagon or succumb to threats or cajolery. I’ve been approached many times, even as recently as yesterday someone joked, ‘We’re still expecting, we would love to have you.’ But I love my space, I love my peace, and I’m okay with my party now,” she said. Akpoti-Uduaghan also revealed she is considering running for the Senate again in 2027, with discussions ongoing within her party. She addressed speculations about a possible contest against former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello, saying she is unafraid. “If I decide to contest after consulting my family, constituents, and party, and I am on the ballot against Yahaya Bello, then I would say, bring it on. I am not scared of him. He was a sitting governor and used all his powers against me, yet I defeated his candidate in 2023,” she said. The senator, a first-term lawmaker in the 10th Assembly, represents Kogi Central, the same district Bello hails from. She won her seat in 2023 under the PDP after a tribunal in Lokoja overturned the initial victory of APC candidate Abubakar Sadiku-Ohere, declaring her the winner with 54,074 votes against Ohere’s 51,291. While she intends to run under the PDP again, Akpoti-Uduaghan said she could consider switching parties if the PDP fails to resolve its ongoing leadership crisis. “If I decide to contest in 2027 and the PDP hasn’t resolved its crisis, I would need just a month to choose a platform, and my supporters will move with me,” she added.

Nollywood Actress Doris Ogala Attempts Suicide After Pastor Chris Okafor Ends Relationship

The incident occurred after Ogala discovered that Okafor had ended their relationship and proposed to another woman. In distress, she stabbed her hand, causing heavy bleeding. Actor Digidi Dunhill, who was seen accompanying her to the hospital, shared a video online, pleading, “Please I don’t know who this Chris is.

On Saturday, December 13, 2025, Ogala publicly confronted the pastor, accusing him of abandoning her despite promising marriage.

She said, “After everything, after promising me marriage and disgracing me like this, turning my life upside down, you want to marry? My heart is broken. Who will marry me after sharing my miscarriage video? My sex video with you, you carried my body and sent to your lawyer, and your lawyer sent it to another lawyer that sent it to my lawyer. After sharing my body publicly, you now want to marry after destroying my life. Was I behaving like this before you met me?” The allegations have generated significant attention online, raising concerns about Ogala’s mental and emotional wellbeing.

Ike Ibeabuchi Challenges Usyk in 2026 Showdown

Ike Ibeabuchi is back in the heavyweight scene and has publicly challenged Oleksandr Usyk to a fight in Kyiv in 2026. Speaking in the Ukrainian capital, the 52-year-old Nigerian stated, “You are the Undisputed Champion. You are Ukraine’s champion. Fight me here in Kyiv in 2026.” Ibeabuchi is scheduled to fight Kabiru Towolawi on December 24, 2025, in Lagos, Nigeria, on Prizefighting.tv PPV. He said the bout will prove whether his knockout power remains intact. “The world wants to see if the old fire is truly back. When I defeat Kabiru, I will have proven my claim to your titles, Usyk,” he explained. “I have done my part, I have shaken off the rust of two decades. Now, I call on the only man who matters: You speak of fighting for your people. I offer you a chance to do just that: Defend your titles, defend your country.” He emphasized that the location of a potential fight with Usyk is irrelevant. “It does not matter if the fight is in Ukraine, or the UK, or Nigeria, or the US. My knockout power is the same. My power has a visa that allows it to travel worldwide.” Ibeabuchi added a historical comparison to illustrate his confidence: “I will knock you out, Usyk, just like George Foreman knocked out Michael Moorer! I will get the titles that are rightfully mine and become the oldest heavyweight champion in history!” Known as “The President,” Ibeabuchi highlighted the enduring power of his punches. “They say speed fades, stamina wanes, but the heavy power that is always in the locker. That is what separates a true heavyweight from the rest,” he said. He clarified that his knockout ability relies on technique rather than athleticism alone. “My power is not reliant on how fast I move or how long I last; it relies on leverage and technique. “I still have the ability to drop a locomotive. That knockout power, Usyk, is the last thing to leave, and I still carry it. “When I hit you, you will feel the 21 victories and 16 knockouts of my past, and the hunger of my future.” Ibeabuchi referenced George Foreman’s 1994 victory over Michael Moorer to demonstrate that age does not preclude knockout power. “My power travels. I will knock you out like George Foreman knocked out Moorer,” he said.

At Least 11 Killed In Antisemitic Attack On Hanukkah Celebration At Sydney’s Bondi Beach

Bondi Beach saw a horrific attack on Sunday when two gunmen opened fire during a Hanukkah celebration, leaving at least 11 people dead. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the assault as an act of antisemitic terrorism that struck at the heart of the nation. The shooting occurred at the Chanukah by the Sea event, one of the many gatherings held to mark the start of the eight-day Jewish festival, at one of Sydney’s most iconic beaches. While Australia has experienced a rise in antisemitic incidents over the past year, authorities have not linked them to Sunday’s attack. Police said one gunman was fatally shot at the scene, while the second was arrested and is in critical condition. One of the suspects was reportedly known to security services, though there had been no specific threat. At least 29 others were injured, including two police officers, according to New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon. Investigators are also examining several suspicious items, including improvised explosive devices found in one of the suspects’ vehicles. “This attack was designed to target Sydney’s Jewish community,” said New South Wales Premier Chris Minns. The violence erupted late in the afternoon as thousands of beachgoers enjoyed the summer day. Eyewitnesses described chaos as people ran from the water while gunfire rang out. Footage showed two men in black firing rifles from a footbridge above the event, while a separate dramatic clip captured a bystander tackling and disarming one of the gunmen before setting the weapon on the ground. Minns called the man a “genuine hero.” Among the dead was Rabbi Eli Schlanger, assistant rabbi at Chabad of Bondi and a key organizer of the event, according to the Orthodox Jewish movement. Israel’s Foreign Ministry also confirmed that one of the victims was an Israeli citizen. The attack, the deadliest in Australia in nearly 30 years, has left the nation grappling with grief while authorities continue to investigate the motive and circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
