Bandits Attack Kwara Church, Kill Three Worshippers and Abduct Pastor

Wale busari03 mins

Gunmen stormed the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) at Oke Isegun in Eruku, a border community with Kogi in Ekiti LGA, Kwara State, abducting an unknown number of worshippers, including the pastor. A video captured during a live stream, seen by TheCable, shows the congregation in the middle of a service when gunshots rang out around the church. Panic spread as the worshippers scrambled for safety, while several armed bandits forced their way into the building. Reports indicate that at least five attackers ransacked the church, stealing belongings from worshippers. The PUNCH reported that three people were killed during the assault, while the pastor and several church members were taken away. A witness said, “The gunmen came into the church while people were gathered. They started shooting, and three people died immediately. They later rounded up some worshippers, including the pastor, and marched them into the bush.” Community leader Benjamin Ayeoribe added that Eruku has faced repeated bandit attacks over the last three weeks, with calls for help to local and state authorities yielding no results. “We have begged the local and state governments for help, but nothing concrete has come. We are living in fear every day,” he said. The attack comes less than 48 hours after bandits raided Government Girls Secondary School in Maga, Kebbi State, abducting 25 schoolgirls.

Nicki Minaj Speaks At UN On Christian Persecution In Nigeria

Wale busari03 mins

Rapper Nicki Minaj has used her platform at the United Nations to draw attention to the growing persecution of Christians in Nigeria, calling for urgent international intervention. Speaking from the UN podium, Minaj described the dire situation facing Nigerian Christians. “In Nigeria, Christians are being targeted, driven from their homes, and killed. Churches have been burned. Families have been torn apart. Entire communities live in fear simply because of how they pray,” she said. She noted that religious persecution is not unique to Nigeria, stressing that similar threats exist in many countries worldwide. “This problem is not only growing in Nigeria but in other parts of the world. It demands urgent action,” Minaj said. Making it clear that her call is about unity rather than division, she added, “Protecting Christians in Nigeria is not about taking sides. It is about uniting humanity.” Minaj also highlighted the responsibility of global institutions, saying, “When one’s church, mosque, or place of worship is destroyed, everyone’s heart should break a little. The foundation of the United Nations, with its core mandate to ensure peace and security, should shake.” She praised peacebuilders and faith leaders who have confronted intolerance and violence, saying their work inspires her to fight for the security and freedom of all who pray. She concluded: “I hope this encourages all of us to work together urgently so that every person can enjoy the right to believe, worship, and live in peace.” The speech was organized in collaboration with U.S. Ambassador to the UN Michael Waltz and adviser Alex Bruesewitz, highlighting growing international concern over religious violence in Nigeria. https://twitter.com/NigeriaStories/status/1990865568811921769?t=JOCWA4ueuQYTfIKofqUNEg&s=19

Wale busari02 mins

Ruger has addressed the growing online chatter about his relationship with Davido after a fan reignited tension with a post on X. The drama began when a Davido supporter wrote: “When you’re ready to apologize and beg Davido publicly, your song will enter No 1.” Ruger quickly rebuffed the claim, questioning its basis: “And did Davido tell you I did anything wrong to him?” He later made a follow-up post, clarifying that he and Davido still share mutual respect despite fans pushing a different narrative. Ruger wrote: “I love Davido and I know he loves me too. People on his team still repost my stuff. I will never believe this agenda that he doesn’t f* with me unless he says it to my face or publicly. But if him talk am, everywhere go first blur sha.”** His remarks signal that any supposed feud exists only in fan circles, not between the artists themselves.

“I Will Beat You Mercilessly” – Nwabali Blasts Lege Miami Over Alleged Insult To Late Father

Wale busari02 mins

Super Eagles goalkeeper Nwabali has slammed content creator Lege Miami over comments he claims disrespected his late father. Taking to his Instagram Story, Nwabali demanded that Lege remove his father’s name from any content, writing: “LegeMiamii, remove my late dad’s name from your mouth if you’re doing your content. If you don’t respect people’s dad, you should learn to respect the dead. I’m not your regular type of footballer. I’ll beat you mercilessly. You’re free to insult me, but leave my late dad out of it.” Lege Miami responded with a lengthy voice note via direct message. He apologized if mentioning Nwabali’s father caused offense but also criticized the goalkeeper’s behavior on the pitch. Lege accused Nwabali of being controlling, rude to teammates, and acting arrogantly during games, arguing that his actions affected team performance. He further warned Nwabali not to message him again, saying: “You’re not in a position to come to my DM. If not because of Osimhen and Bassy, I would rubbish you. You need to make a public apology to Nigerians and show humility.” The exchange highlights a tense clash between the two personalities, with Nwabali defending the honor of his late father and Lege standing by his content while questioning Nwabali’s conduct. The incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media about respect, boundaries, and accountability for public figures. https://twitter.com/EN0CX/status/1990850396802129928?t=uboMpOZ1Lhhb1IsNIkQTsw&s=19

Wale busari02 mins

The mobile phones of Aliko Dangote, CEO of Dangote Group, and Femi Otedola, chairman of First HoldCo Plc, have reportedly been hacked, TheCable can report. Sources close to both businessmen revealed that their devices were compromised over the past week. While Otedola’s phone was hacked once, Dangote’s device was reportedly breached twice within two days. It remains unclear whether both men have fully regained access to their phones, but insiders said the hackers have demanded money. “The hackers are asking for money from both men,” an insider told TheCable. Dangote and Otedola, who share a close friendship and often refer to each other as “brothers,” have been involved in various business engagements. Otedola attended the announcement of Dangote’s plan to expand his refinery’s capacity from 650,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day. Describing Dangote as “Africa’s pride,” Otedola praised his friend’s long-term investments. “Aliko’s relentless commitment to investing in Nigeria and Africa will outlive him, as these are legacy investments that will define generations,” he said. “Soon, Nigerians will own part of this refinery, a powerful reminder that this vision is not just for Dangote, but for all Nigerians and Africans.” Otedola, author of the bestselling book Making It Big, recently boosted his stake in First HoldCo Plc, acquiring 64.87 million shares valued at N2.01 billion.

House Of Representatives Passes Bill For Second Reading To Lower Age For Senate And Governorship To 30

Wale busari03 mins

The House of Representatives on Tuesday approved for second reading a bill proposing to amend the 1999 Constitution to reduce the minimum age for Senate and governorship elections from 35 to 30 years. The bill, titled “A Bill for an Act to Alter the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) to Reduce the Age for Qualification for Membership of the Senate and Office of the Governor and for Related Matters (HB. 2235),” is sponsored by Hon. Esin Etim and 24 other lawmakers. Currently, candidates for the Senate and governorship must be at least 35 years old, while those seeking election to the House of Representatives can contest from age 25. Etim, representing Offong/Oruko/Udung Uko Federal Constituency in Akwa Ibom State, argued that the existing age limits block young Nigerians from progressing in politics and restrict opportunities for leadership development. He highlighted that the 10-year gap between eligibility for the House and higher offices prevents young legislators who start at 25 from contesting for the Senate or governorship after two terms, as they would still be only 33 years old. “This bill seeks to reduce the required age from 35 to 30, maintaining the traditional five-year gap between eligibility for the House and higher offices,” Etim said. “A member starting at 25 would still be too young to advance after two terms. This House should address that.” Speaker Tajudeen Abbas then called for a voice vote, and lawmakers overwhelmingly supported the bill for second reading. The bill has now been referred to the House Committee on Constitution Review for further legislative action.
