DON’T TURN KWARA TO ANOTHER SAMBISA, DOUBLE EFFORTS TO END THE SPATE OF KILLING, KIDNAPPING, AND TERRORISM: CDHR CHARGES THE STATE GOVERNMENT, SECURITY APPARATUS
DON’T TURN KWARA TO ANOTHER SAMBISA, DOUBLE EFFORTS TO END THE SPATE OF KILLING, KIDNAPPING, AND TERRORISM: CDHR CHARGES THE STATE GOVERNMENT, SECURITY APPARATUS
The residents and indigenes of kwara communities are living in fear and apprehension due to the recent rise in the spate of killing and kidnapping in different parts of Kwara communities. Some few weeks back, it was reported virally that a new bandit group arrived in the state named Mahmouda. To prove the authenticity of the viral news, the group strikes around Baruteen local government, and scores of innocent Nigerians were killed.
Cdhr gathered that
Seven people were killed in attacks on the Kwara community when gunmen suspected to be members of the new terrorist group, Mahmouda, attacked communities in Baruten and Kaiama local government areas. The assailants who reportedly were on military camouflage, riding motorcycles, stormed the market square at 9:30 pm on Monday and opened fire on the residents before they zoomed off.
Among whose lives were lost include four Fulanis, a vigilante, and a 19-year-old youth. According to another source, a similar attack occurred the same day in neighbouring Kaiama, where a vigilante was killed.
In another development, gunmen suspected to be kidnappers abducted seven travellers along the Obbo-Aiyegunle road in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State. Cdhr gathered that the incident occurred over the weekend. The affected victims were travellers and passengers in a Sienna bus coming from FCT to Offa town, kwara state.The gunmen reportedly blocked the road and stopped the vehicle, belonging to an Offa-based transport company with registration number KW FFA 50 XD, at gunpoint. Seven people were kidnapped, leaving the children and their belongings behind.
Recently, the kwara branch of NBA announced the abduction of one of their members by unknown assistants, Barrister Elizabeth Arinde, Head of the Legal Department at Oke Ero Local Government in Kwara State. According to reports, she was abducted alongside the DPM of the Local Government on Friday, April 25, 2025, while travelling from Oke Ero LGA to Ilorin. In the announcement, the kwara NBA chairman SMH Kosemani Esq. appeals to the members of the public to share the information and pray for her safe return.
In line with the above and series of insecurity reports about kwara communities, the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights uses this medium to call the attention of the kwara state government, kwara state police command and other security apparatus in the state to double their efforts to end the insecurity challenges around kwara communities. The government and all the stakeholders should synergise by putting appropriate measures to remove kwara from the news of viral killing, kidnapping, and all forms terrorism. We shouldn’t allow them to turn our dear state to another Sambisa forest.
Kwara State is known for peace and harmony and one of the most peaceful states in the northcentral Nigeria. The government should intensify efforts to maintain the peace and harmony kwarans have been enjoying over the years.
Cdhr also urges the state government to empower the local security operatives with necessary support and intelligence to assist the conventional security apparatus. They understand their local terrain better than the outsiders. A stitch in time saves nine.

Comrade Idris Afees Olayinka,
National Publicity Secretary CDHR Nigeria.

Police Day 2026: IGP Disu Leads Nationwide Walkathon To Strengthen Community Trust

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church
… Affirming God’s omnipotence to unveil malicious schemes.
To be frank, the ability of Doris Ogala and her associates to withstand the arduous challenges set by Senior Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor of Grace Nation Global at the culmination of the Harvest of Babies 2026 conference, the church’s flagship event, continues to elude me.
It’s advisable not to offend a powerful spiritual leader like Prophet Chris Okafor to avoid potential consequences, as seen in the situation with Doris Ogala, who was rebuked by the prophet; can she rectify the situation through confession?
Insiders close to the man of God claim that despite relentless online bullying and blackmailing, the Generational Prophet remains resolute, stating that God’s power has been evident throughout the commission’s existence. The reason for this wonderful statement is found in the scriptures, “Upon this rock I shall build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” The more falsehoods are spread about the church and its leader, the more God elevates the church and propels him to greater heights, he asserted. He emphasized that blessings and fruitfulness are antidotes to curses, noting that God continues to bestow blessings upon the church, including miracles and the gift of children, which is one reason for the grand finale of the annual family liberation program, The Harvest of Babies.
However, the man of God issued a curse on each person speaking ill of the church, blackmailing, and uttering all sorts of falsehoods against the church, declaring that if they refused to repent within a few days, the earth would swallow them and their family members, stating that they would be of no use to themselves, their families, or society at large.
The spiritual leader cautions his followers to beware of such individuals including Doris Ogala who may taint their faith, and urges them to treat these persons as emissaries of the devil, avoiding them altogether.
Recall that the 2026 harvest of babies concluded with a remarkable birth of a miracle baby boy to a woman on the third day of the conference, accompanied by the dedication of several other miracle babies, all to the glory of God.
