Speaking at a press conference held at Iledi Nla Osugbo on Lagos Island yesterday, Chief Chief Rafiu Atanda, the Oluwo of Oworosoki Kingdom stated that, Oba Babatunde Saliu is a gentleman to the core and does not support violence in any form.
“The Customary Chiefs of Lagos stand behind the monarch and his reputation as a just and fair ruler.

 

 

 

 

“The allegations made against Oba Babatunde Saliu by Akogun Adewale and his wife, Salawe, claiming that the king alleged Thugs beat his wife to stupor and that it was not the first time the Monarch had mobilised his thugs to assault people, is a lie, ” Atanda pointed out.

Stating that, he was at the palace on that faithful day, he said, the king only asked them what type of ritual rites are they performing without informing the king,.

“And the traditionalists called Salawe that King stopped them Infront of his palace. Immediately, this woman arrived, she started calling king names, Oba Saliu just called the police to handle the matter and he entered his palace. I was shocked to see news online that Thugs working for Oloworo beats woman to stupor. All these are fabricated lies,” he stressed.

To this end, he said, “this is why we bring Akogun Adewale and wife Salawe matter to Customary Chiefs here in Lagos Island because information gathered shows that Adewale was a member of Lagos Island Customary Chiefs”.

Chief Isiaka Oyemola Ogundare, the Paramount Apena of Lagos And Chairman of Customary Chiefs of Lagos alleged that Akogun Adewale is a blackmailer and impasinator, adding that, “we banned him from being a member of Customary Chiefs since 2019 because of impassinaton and the shame made him to leave Lagos Island and move to Oworosoki kingdom. Go and check his Facebook page, at times, he call himself King and he will dress like a King and post it on social media just to deceive people. He is not our member again.”

He noted that, all his claims are baseless and without merit, hence, the Customary Chiefs of Lagos urge the public to disregard these false accusations and support Oba Babatunde Saliu in his continued efforts to lead the Oworosoki Kingdom with dignity and honour.

To him, “We call on all parties involved to approach these matters with caution and refrain from spreading further misinformation. The Customary Chiefs of Lagos remain committed to upholding the traditions and values of our beloved city and will continue to stand by our esteemed monarch, Oba Babatunde Saliu.”

Recall that about 7 days ago, King Oba Babatunde Saliu had debunked the allegation In a statement issued and personally signed by him on last Wednesday, where he vehemently denied the report, stating that, it was entirely untrue and a gross misrepresentation of facts.

The monarch assured the public that he does not condone or employ thugs, and his kingdom has always promoted peace, unity and harmony among his subjects.

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.
