BREAKING: ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON ANAMBRA PDP GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE SIR JUDE EZENWAFOR — HON. PRINCE CHINEDU NSOFOR (KPAKPANDO NDIGBO) CONDEMNS DASTARDLY ACT

BY JOSEPH MONDAY

Anambra, Nigeria — Hon. Prince Chinedu Nsofor, frontline PDP senatorial aspirant in the August 16th Anambra South Senatorial District bye-election, has issued a strong condemnation of the recent assassination attempt on Ambassador Sir Jude Ezenwafor, the PDP governorship candidate in the forthcoming Anambra State gubernatorial election.

The attempted attack, which comes barely a week after Nsofor himself narrowly escaped a violent kidnapping, has sent shockwaves across political circles and ignited fresh concerns about the escalating insecurity in Nigeria. In a somber statement, Nsofor said, “This is not just a coordinated attack on a person, but an attack on democracy, justice, and the will of the people.”

Nsofor recalled his own traumatic experience on Thursday July 10th, 2025, when he was ambushed by armed men disguised in military uniforms while traveling by road through Loma, Kogi State. The vehicle he had chartered for a night journey, in a bid to save campaign costs, was forcefully diverted into the forest, where he and others were severely beaten and held captive for ransom. “It was only by divine intervention — rain scattering the captors — that I was able to untie myself and escape,” he recounted.

Expressing deep concern, he added, “Barely one week after my escape from kidnappers, our party’s governorship candidate faces an assassination attempt. Who is safe in this country anymore?”

Nsofor called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to overhaul Nigeria’s deteriorating security architecture, demanding a robust intelligence and operational framework to combat violent crime and terrorism. “The Federal Government must increase intelligence gathering, equip our security forces, and act decisively to fish out the evil terrorizing our land,” he stated.

While praying for the speedy recovery and fortitude of Ambassador Ezenwafor, Nsofor did not mince words in calling for divine justice. “I pray that the judgment of God will fall heavily on the wicked men who tried to take the life of His Excellency Sir Jude and on the bandits who kidnapped me last week. May their evil plans boomerang upon them a hundredfold, in the mighty name of Jesus.”

He emphasized that such attacks should never deter good people from answering the call to serve. “We must not allow Nigeria to become a place where noble aspirations are cut short by the bullet. My thoughts are with the people of Anambra and every conscientious Nigerian who is working for a better future.”

Identifying insecurity as the foremost challenge facing Nigeria, Nsofor proposed a bold and comprehensive legislative solution. “I will sponsor a bill to formally regulate the Fulani herdsmen enterprise by mandating a nationwide biometric registration system. Every herdsman must present a minimum of fifty credible guarantors and undergo biometric capturing to be issued a traceable ID card. Any herder found without this ID or operating unlawfully shall be deemed an illegal operator and face life imprisonment. Guarantors of any offender will also be held equally accountable. Through this system, we can trace, monitor, and eliminate rogue elements hiding behind a legitimate trade,” he declared.

In his closing remarks, Hon. Chinedu Nsofor raised heartfelt prayers for national healing and peace:
“I pray for divine intervention in our land. May the Almighty God protect every sincere leader and candidate from the snare of the wicked. I pray that the spirit of violence, terrorism, kidnapping, political thuggery, and assassination will be destroyed completely in Nigeria. May our military and security agencies be empowered, and may the God of justice avenge every bloodshed by evil men. I ask that the peace of God flood across the North, South, East, and West of our great nation. May no parent mourn their child because of politics, and may Nigeria rise again with a new order of safety, unity, and progress. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.”

Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor

……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”

The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.

The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.

Testimonies of God’s Power

One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.

Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.

These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.

God Works by Principle, Not Gossip

In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.

The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.

Join the Movement

Grace Nation Worldwide is open for all who desire a life transformed by divine intervention. Weekly services include:

Sunday Service: 7:00 AM

Grace Nation Island Service (Ogombo): Wednesday, 5:00 PM

Midweek PHDS Service: Thursday, 7:00 AM

Attending these services under the ministry of the Generational Prophet ensures encounters with God’s supernatural power, life-changing miracles, and lasting breakthroughs.

Grace Nation Worldwide is not just a church—it is a reality where faith meets the supernatural.
