It was a horror show on the no. 13 Forlonsho Street mechanic bus stop Ogba Lagos, Ajayi road when some group of Touts and soldiers invaded a Church named his presence Redemption Ministries International chasing members of the church away, destroying and looting some of their properties.

The resident pastor said he was called on the phone when the invasion was taking place as he was not on the Church premises at that very moment. He said that though their security was stationed there at their Church, but couldn’t do anything because of their numbers.

“It happened last week Thursday around 10 am. I was called by the pastor of the church that soldiers and Touts invaded the church premises.

“I tried to relate to them when they called me and it got to a time when I couldn’t talk to a person again because I couldn’t hear anything over the phone and I didn’t know what happened.


“The Touts were many when they invaded the church and they met people having their meetings though we have our security stationed at our premises.

“The meetings were going on when they invaded our church and started beating our members up, bringing the church wall down, climbing, and destroying the roof. Because of the number of their numbers, our members started running away. Ever since they chased everyone away, they locked our gate”.

He further said that they stopped Church members from capturing what’s going down with their cell phones while looting church property.

“This incident happened for almost 6 hours. We later discovered that they started stealing church property and they even stopped our member from videoing what went down that very day by grabbing and smashing their phones and at the same time trying to delete what might have captured them like their faces.

“We found out that they were protecting their faces so we didn’t know who they were or where they came from”.

Speaking further, he said that they don’t really have serious issues with anyone except the one they have with Landlord which is still in court.

“We didn’t have any issue, it’s a church where we held our services every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. The issue we have is the landlord which was the court, that is what we have and it’s still in court”.

He further pleaded to the government to come to their rescue and help them solve the problem because their members are now afraid to come to Church.

“I want the government to come to our rescue because if we’re not safe we cannot be in service and while service is going on, things like this is happening.

“Ever since that day, the church members have not been coming because they’re afraid of what might happen. Even as I speak right now, we don’t have access to our properties because the day they came, they chased everyone away. As I speak now, we also don’t have access to the compound”.

some of the Church members who were around on that very day narrated how they were chased away from the Church premises. A member names Blessing Pedro said they were surprised when their Churxh was overran by their unexpected visitors.

“It happened on Thursday morning by 10 am we were having a meeting at that church, a all of a sudden, we had a group of people, they came in their numbers. Everybody was like what is going on because we weren’t expecting such movement as of that time, so we stood and they were shouting at people and everyone was running around looking”.

Published

Rt. Hon. (Dr) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), has clearly demonstrated his heartfelt commitment to the empowerment and upliftment of young girls. This dedication was prominently showcased at the annual symposium and grand ball organized by the NIMA Memorial Care Foundation, held at the Lagos Marriott Hotel and Resorts on Sunday. This year’s event embraced the theme “Empowering Futures: Clean Water and Hygiene Support For Girl Child.”

Although Speaker Obasa was unable to attend the symposium in person, his sentiments were represented by Hon. Prince Richard Adedamola Kasunmu, Deputy Majority Leader of LAHA. In his opening remarks, Kasunmu connected the audience to the renowned Afrobeat musician Fela Anikulapo’s song, “Water no get enemy,” setting a meaningful tone for his speech. He expressed the Speaker’s steadfast support for the rights of young girls, advocating for their equal treatment and underscoring the necessity to see them as deserving citizens rather than second-class individuals.

Speaker Obasa’s administration has proactively championed female inclusivity within its cabinet by concentrating on ensuring access to clean water and proper hygiene. Partnerships with various foundations aim to provide sustainable clean water solutions for rural settings and educational institutions, aligning with the needs of the girl child.

Representing Speaker Obasa, Kasunmu assured attendees that their endeavors would persistently aim for tangible improvements to enhance the quality of life for young girls within the community.

During the event, Co-founder Mrs. Zainab Fashipe shared insights into the numerous obstacles that girls face, pinpointing a dire shortage of clean water and sanitary conditions. She provided poignant examples illustrating the reality of inadequate menstrual hygiene practices among young females.

The NIMA Memorial Care Foundation was established to continue the altruistic legacy of Nimatallahi Monturayo Alake Fashipe, who tragically passed away at age 20 on March 2, 2023. Nimatallahi’s profound impact on helping street children, providing clear water solutions in northern regions, and equipping orphans with essential skills provided the foundation for perpetuating her humanitarian contributions.

During her speech, Mrs. Fashipe implored government entities, humanitarian agencies, and the Nigerian populace to back this noble cause, mentioning that their endeavors have been predominantly financed by donations and proceeds from her late daughter’s soap business.

The symposium drew remarkable attention from distinguished guests like Prof. Anthony Kila, well-respected Director and Founder of the Commonwealth Institute of Advanced and Professional Studies. Prof. Kila delivered an encouraging address, advocating for heightened government, individual, and corporate support towards the NIMA Memorial Foundation, recognizing its significant role in advocating for educational and developmental opportunities for young girls.

Additionally, veteran Nollywood actress Ronnie Dikko made a notable contribution by lending her voice to the mission. She committed to offering her consistent support to the foundation and pledged her availability whenever required.

Furthermore, the attendance of representatives from the Ogun and Lagos State commissioners, alongside the Commissioner for Youth and Social Development of Lagos State, lent governmental legitimacy and encouragement to the event’s proceedings.
