Land grabbers invade Ketu-Epe, unleash terror on residents

 

Hoodlums suspected to be land grabbers on Thursday night invaded Ketu-Epe town in Lagos State and unleashed terror on residents of the town.

The land grabbers, according to a statement signed by the Media Assistant to Babjide Adekoya Adewofora, the Oba-elect of Ketu-Epe, Simon Adesina, copies made available to journalists in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Friday, stormed the sleepy town with dangerous weapons, inflicting injuries on the residents.

He added that the hoodlums who invaded the town from Rallas Street along Palace Road, also carted away belongings of the residents.

Adesina explained that the attack on Thursday night climaxed the three weeks of terrorizing the community and spreading fear among the residents by the hoodlums, who were allegedly brought into Ketu-Epe by a contestant vying for the stool Alaketu-Epe.

While saying that the incident has made several residents flee the town due to the offensive by the notorious land grabbers, he disclosed that the hoodlums were brought to the Ketu-Epe from neighbouring communities such as Ejirin, Ayalu and Isekupa.

Adesina in the statement, however, appealed to the police and other relevant security agencies to come to the aid of the town, stressing that “residents can no longer sleep with their two eyes closed due to the constant attacks by the hoodlums”.

“Those who sustained critical injuries were moved to hospital for immediate medical attention, while the matter has also been reported to the police”.

“It will be recalled that the Alaketu-designate, Prince Babjide Adekoya Adewofora, had earlier alerted the police on the constant threats posed by land grabbers to his community

“We, thereby, appeal to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police to come to rescue the people of Ketu-Epe from notorious land grabbers who have made life difficult for the residents”, the statement stated.

Prophetic Confirmation: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo's Revelation Unfolds Again

Prophetic Confirmation: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo’s Revelation Unfolds Again

 

Renowned prophetic voice and spiritual leader Prophet Kingsley Aitafo, has once again stirred spiritual and global conversations with the fulfillment of one of his recent prophecies—this time concerning the alarming escalation of military tensions between India and Pakistan.

 

In a previously shared prophetic message, the seer warned:

“Let us continue to pray against a third world war. I see something like a mini-war. Also, let us gather and pray against another ailment coming to the earth—one more deadly than COVID-19.”

 

Prophetic Confirmation: Prophet Kingsley Aitafo's Revelation Unfolds Again

As of today, these words have taken on a troubling resonance. India and Pakistan have reportedly entered their most intense military confrontation in decades, with hostilities extending well beyond the long-disputed Kashmir region. Multiple credible international reports confirm drone and missile attacks between the nations, sparking fears of a broader conflict.

 

 

Stephanie Bennett, reporting from London, noted:

 

“It’s the biggest military conflict in decades between India and Pakistan, and there’s no clear end in sight. What began in Kashmir has rapidly escalated into widespread artillery and drone warfare, with both sides claiming to be acting in retaliation.”

 

Despite assurances from Indian forces of a desire to avoid further escalation, tensions remain dangerously high. Both countries, equipped with nuclear capabilities, are under global scrutiny as concerns mount over the potential for further escalation into a catastrophic war.

 

 

Each side denies initiating the aggression, placing blame squarely on retaliatory measures. However, with rhetoric intensifying and the threat of nuclear engagement looming, international observers are calling for immediate de-escalation and diplomatic intervention.

 

 

This latest development raises concerns on the geopolitical front and highlights the prophetic accuracy of Prophet Aitafo’s warnings, sparking renewed calls for prayer, spiritual sensitivity, and preparedness in uncertain times.

 

 

As his warnings continue to unfold with uncanny accuracy, many are asking: Are we heeding the signs, or ignoring divine instructions?

Lagos Airport in Ruins, Ambassador Ajadi Decries

Lagos Airport in Ruins, Ambassador Ajadi Decries

Lagos Airport in Ruins, Ambassador Ajadi Decries

LAGOS, Nigeria — Travellers at Terminal 1 of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Ikeja, Lagos, were on Saturday left sweating and visibly distressed as poor ventilation, non-functional air conditioners, and a lack of fans turned the terminal into an uncomfortable waiting ground for both local and international passengers.

Among the affected travellers was Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, a renowned advocate for good governance and 2023 presidential candidate under the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), who was en route to Singapore. He described the situation as “a national embarrassment.”
Speaking to journalists shortly before his departure, Ambassador Ajadi lamented the decaying infrastructure at Nigeria’s busiest international airport and called on the federal government and Ministry of Aviation to urgently address the situation.

“This airport is supposed to be a symbol of our national pride and a gateway into the heart of Nigeria,” Ajadi said. “Yet what I experienced today is not only disappointing but shameful. The lack of air conditioning, no working fans, and poor treatment of passengers is unacceptable—especially for a country seeking foreign investment and global recognition.”

He noted that the terminal was overcrowded, with no functioning ventilation systems, leaving passengers drenched in sweat and visibly frustrated. Several foreign nationals and Nigerian citizens alike expressed dismay at the uncomfortable conditions, which they described as unbefitting of an international gateway.

Ajadi further highlighted that the travelator—a moving walkway that helps transport passengers through the terminal—is not functioning. He also pointed out that the baggage carousel, where passengers collect their checked luggage, was emitting an abnormal and disturbing noise, raising concerns over maintenance and safety standards.

“The experience visitors have at our international airport shapes their perception of the entire country—socially, economically, and politically,” he emphasized. “If this is what they meet at the entry point, what impression are we giving the world?”

Ajadi stressed that an airport is more than a transit hub—it is a national mirror that reflects the country’s priorities, influences investor confidence, and affects tourism and international diplomacy.

The MMIA, commissioned in the late 1970s and once considered a symbol of Nigerian modernity, has long suffered from poor maintenance, obsolete equipment, and inconsistent power supply. In 2022, the federal government inaugurated a new terminal constructed by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), but many existing facilities remain in a dilapidated condition.

Ambassador Ajadi also alleged unprofessional conduct by some airport staff, citing impolite treatment, poor coordination, and a lack of assistance to travellers, which further dents the reputation of the airport.

He urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and the current Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo SAN, to prioritize airport renovation as a matter of national pride and economic urgency.

“Nigeria deserves better. Our airports should reflect the hopes and aspirations of our people—not remind us of decades of infrastructural decay. The federal government must act now—this is beyond politics; it is about national dignity,” Ajadi reiterated.

As one of Africa’s largest economies and most populous nations, Nigeria’s international airports serve as critical entry points for global visitors. Without urgent reforms and infrastructural upgrades, stakeholders fear that Nigeria risks continued reputational damage and a loss of international opportunities.

Tension in Yaba LCDA as Party Members Reject Alleged Imposition of GAC Chieftain’s Son

Tension in Yaba LCDA as Party Members Reject Alleged Imposition of GAC Chieftain’s Son

Tension in Yaba LCDA as Party Members Reject Alleged Imposition of GAC Chieftain’s Son

 

Political tension is brewing in Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA) following the controversial imposition of aspirants, Adebayo Adefuye (as chairman), son of a prominent Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) member, Baba Anthony Adefuye, and Babatunde Joseph Ojo Vice chairman ( impostion of Friday Soton, SA domestic to Mr President) as the party’s flag bearers for the upcoming local government elections.

Tension in Yaba LCDA as Party Members Reject Alleged Imposition of GAC Chieftain’s Son

The move has triggered strong backlash from stakeholders and loyal party members who describe the decision as undemocratic, provocative, and a betrayal of grassroots principles.

In a statement issued by a coalition of concerned party stakeholders, the group condemned what they called the “unacceptable imposition” of Adefuye, a candidate they claim lacks genuine ties to the Yaba community. They noted that the development undermines internal democracy and disrespects the will of the people.

“We categorically reject this imposition and declare our unwavering resistance to it,” the statement read. “Yaba LCDA is not a political dumping ground. We will not allow the hard-won peace and democratic process of our community to be jeopardized by personal interests and political godfatherism.”

The group also accused Baba Adefuye of hypocrisy, citing his previous actions in 2019 when he reportedly blocked the candidacy of Hon. Ibrahim Ajani Owolabi in Somolu Local Government on grounds of non-resident status. Ironically, they say, he is now attempting to install his own son in Yaba—a community they claim neither father nor son has significant roots in.

Further raising eyebrows is the assertion that Adebayo Adefuye only recently secured a second-term appointment as a board member at Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board (Lasubeb) and is now being positioned for a council leadership role despite questions over his residency claim. According to the group, Adefuye’s only identifiable link to Yaba is his occasional attendance at the United African Methodist Evangelical Church in Abule Ijesa Ward I.

The coalition is calling on the party national leader President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, including Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to intervene immediately and reverse the foisting of unknown candidates, warning that failure to do so could spark serious political unrest in the area.

“Yaba LCDA deserves competent and locally rooted leadership—not candidates imposed through the back door by GAC chieftains,” they said. “We shall not be silenced. We shall not be intimidated.”

As of press time, there has been no official response from the party’s leadership or from the Adefuye camp. However, tensions continue to rise as party loyalists in Yaba vow to resist any attempt to legitimize what they describe as “political colonization.”
