Life Threats: Rasheed Taofeek Olarewaju Flees Lagos, Nigeria to Escape Potential Lynching by PDP Thugs

Rasheed Taofeek Olarewaju, a well-known politician in Lagos, residence of No. 25 Olorusogo Street adjacent GTCO Mushin is facing threats to his life from his former political associates after switching allegiance from the PDP to the APC

Following his defection from the PDP opposition party to the APC ruling party on Sunday, 16th March 2025, in Lagos, Rasheed Taofeek Olarewaju reportedly received life-threatening warnings from unidentified individuals purportedly connected to political thuggery

The uproar ensued soon after he officially declared his departure from the PDP to the APC and subsequently received several threatening calls over his decision to defect to another party in Lagos State, Nigeria

Rasheed Taofeek Olarewaju, a legitimate and registered member of the PDP, was initially assaulted on Saturday, March 29, 2025, while returning home, to prevent him from sharing crucial information about the party in the Mushin area of Lagos, a stronghold of political thugs

A second incident took place on Monday, April 7, 2025, when masked individuals stormed the home of Taofeek Olarewaju, father of three, at midnight. The family was subjected to severe physical abuse, resulting in the death of his daughter. Olarewaju, reportedly the main target due to his knowledge of party secrets, escaped potential lynching by exiting through a back window

Rasheed Taofeek was rushed to a nearby Private Hospital in Lagos on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, following a violent attack linked to political thuggery, where he received treatment for brutal injuries, and while in the hospital, Rasheed remained uninformed about the situation of his wife and three children

This incident led him to visit the nearest police station on Thursday, 10th April 2025, shortly after his discharge, to lodge an official complaint and request assistance in searching for his family

Following the demise of his biological parents, Rasheed Taofeek Olarewaju has chosen Shakirat Abosede, Rukayat Serifat, Rasheed Sallam Akanni, and Rasheed Fawas Akanni, along with her daughter, as his surrogate family; regrettably, Amirat Amoke was fatally shot during a politically motivated attack on his residence

Rasheed Taofeek Olarewaju noticed that the political thugs had refused to desist and continued to trail him, monitoring his every step, with threats to eliminate him in order to prevent him from revealing the political information he held, especially after he joined the new party

Rasheed Taofeek Olarewaju fled Nigeria for a secure country on Thursday, 31st July 2025, to safeguard his life. At the time of filing this report, it was still unclear where his family was.

He described the Church as “the pillar and foundation of truth,” noting that the conference aims to confront moral decline and restore core values within society.

“We are going back to foundational truths that established the Church. These truths will help repair societal damage and reposition the Church as a source of hope and light,” Onaga said.

Also speaking, Shola Olapade, Senior Pastor of Dominion City Headquarters, highlighted the Church’s role in addressing ethical and cultural challenges, particularly among young people. He added that the programme would go beyond spiritual teachings to include sessions on artificial intelligence, innovation, business, media, arts, and career development.

“We are equipping people not just spiritually, but with relevant 21st-century skills to thrive in today’s world,” Olapade noted.

The conference will feature teachings and ministrations from a lineup of international ministers, including Dr. David Ogbueli, Dr. Charles Ndifon, Andres Bisonni, Pastor Randy Mitchell, Apostle Ikechukwu Peter Nnajiofor, Dr. Ferdinand Nweke, Apostle Ben Hanyani Ndobe, Evangelist Dan Scott, and Dr. Chiefo Ejiofobiri.

Organisers disclosed that over 30,000 participants are expected to attend in person, with free transportation provided from designated locations across Lagos to ease access. In addition, free medical services will be offered daily, building on previous outreaches that benefited over 1,700 people.

To ensure safety and order, more than 200 traffic marshals will be deployed in collaboration with relevant authorities.
