Apostle Ayoola Oladele, a Lagos-based prophet and founder of Let Us Worship Ministries Healing and Salvation, was reportedly led by the Holy Spirit to pray for a man thought to be mentally ill. Acting on divine instruction, Apostle Oladele approached the man and laid hands on him. This act of faith led to the restoration of Sunday Ugochukwu’s memory.

Upon regaining his memory, Ugochukwu revealed his identity, which was later confirmed by his family in Ebonyi State. The family, who had presumed him dead after his sudden disappearance 17 years ago, expressed immense gratitude to God and Apostle Oladele for the divine intervention.

A former military officer turned prophet, Apostle Ayoola Oladele is known for his powerful healing ministry. He shared that his spiritual strength comes from prayer, fasting, and solitary retreats on mountain tops, emulating the practices of Jesus Christ.

The Ugochukwu family hailed the incident as a testament to God’s miraculous power. They celebrated the prophet for being an instrument of God’s work, describing the event as nothing short of extraordinary.

Ibadan Christmas Stampede: CDHR Condemns Tragic Death of Over 30 Children, Calls for Justice”

Over 30 children tragically lost their lives during a Christmas funfair held on Wednesday, December 18, at Islamic High School, Basorun, Ibadan, Oyo State. The incident occurred due to a stampede caused by overcrowding and poor event management, leaving families devastated during what was meant to be a joyful occasion.

The event, organized by Queen Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, in collaboration with Agidigbo FM, owned by philanthropist and radio presenter Oriyomi Hamzat, aimed to distribute gifts and scholarships to children. However, the chaotic arrangements turned the celebration into a nightmare.

Governor Seyi Makinde confirmed the tragedy, expressing deep sorrow over the loss of young lives. “This is a very sad day for us in Oyo State,” the governor said, as he sympathized with grieving families. He ordered the suspension of the event and deployed security personnel and medical teams to restore order and assist the injured.

In response, the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) condemned the mass deaths, attributing the disaster to the organizers’ failure to implement proper planning and safety measures for an event meant to host over 5,000 children. CDHR also expressed heartfelt condolences to the affected families and the Ibadan community.

The organization urged the Oyo State Government and security agencies to conduct a thorough investigation, publish their findings, and hold those responsible accountable for any negligence that led to the tragedy.
