This they said was in view of the Judgement of the Federal High Court, Abuja presided over by Hon Justice Emeka Nwite which among other things directed the deregistration of the movement referred to as ‘Assembly of God Northern Nigeria’ registered in 2017, which had a striking similarity with the name of the ‘Assemblies of God Nigeria’ which was incorporated in 1996, which according to the court was against that Company and Allied Matters Act.
The General Council of the Assemblies of God Church Nigeria also cautioned the general public over the activities of the group and advised those participating in the activities of the said group led by the NCPC Boss to retrace their steps in order to save themselves from life-time regrets.
In a statement signed by Rev Andrew Dangwel on behalf of the General Council of the Church, and made available to this medium on Friday 25th August 2023, it was noted that the decision was reached sequel to a Judgement of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja dated 11th July, 2023 in the case with Suit No; FHC/ABJ/CS/453/2022 between the Incorporated Trustees of Assemblies of God Nigeria (Plaintiff), with Incorporated Trustees of Assembly of God Northern Nigeria (Defendant) and Corporate Affairs Commission Headquarters, Abuja (2nd Defendant).
The Plaintiff had filed for determination through their counsel EJ Longpiya Esq, raising two questions before the Court. These include the following;
a. “Whether the registration of Incorporated Trustees of Assembly of God Northern Nigeria in 2017 as against the registration of Incorporated Trustees of Assemblies of God Nigeria in 1996 did not breach the provision of the Company and Allied Matters Act (then 1990) now 2020 and also the principles of Passing-Off in Law of Tort.”
b. “Whether the usage of the logo of the Plaintiff by the 1st Defendant in its Sunday School Manuals and the buildings of the plaintiff did not constitute an act of misleading the public to believe that the plaintiff and the 1st Defendants are one and the same Organization.”.
From available court documents dated 19th July 2023 the court consequently ordered the deregistration of the movement led by the NCPC Boss.
“In view of the above it is my humble opinion and I so hold that the Plaintiff has proven its case before this honorable Court”.
“Consequently, I hereby make the following Orders; (1) The 2nd Defendant is directed to revoke the registration of t(e 1st Defendant as Incorporated Trustees of Assembly of God Northern Nigeria for being in violation of the Companies and Allied Matters Act. (2) The 1st Defendant is restrained from using a name similar to that of the Plaintiff.

“ASSEMBLIES OF GOD NIGERIA
PRESS STATEMENT
THE NCPC BOSS, FAILED WOEFULLY IN HIS EFFORT TO TEAR APART DENOMINATION AND CONFISCATE PROPERTIES OF ASSEMBLIES OF GOD NIGERIA.
You will recall that Rev Yakubu Pam, the current Executive secretary of the Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Board, being the arrow head, and few others illegally registered a church call Assembly of God Northern Nigeria with the sole intention of decieving some members of his Mother church, Assemblies of God Nigeria, to believe it is still one and the same church. They carried out that registration against the will and without the consent of the mother church, Incorporated Trustees of Assemblies Of God Nigeria. He did not only register the church but also forcefully confiscated some church buildings and properties belonging to the mother church (Assemblies of God Nigeria) to be his own and also decieved so many members of the old church that the church is still the same old Assemblies of God Nigeria but only a little change in nomenclature.
Other illegal actions they carried out include the use of the Assemblies of God Nigeria logo on their sign posts and sunday school manuals, purposely to retain old members in the new movement. This illegal action has not only added salt to the injury of pre-existed Leadership tussle of the Mother church but worsen its case. Rev Yakubu Pam’s movement has led to social disorder, rancour and disharmony among church members as he is seen in many occasions to be using force and even thugs to forcefully evict church members and Pastors who refuse to follow him and his movement.
Assemblies of God Nigeria Lawyers, Seven Seals Attorneys wrote to the CAC, complaining of the striking similarity of name which is against the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).
The CAC reasoned with the Lawyers and wrote two letters to the Incorporated Trustees of AGNN on two different occasions asking AGNN to visit CAC to change the name of their newly registered church, but AGNN persistently refused to honour the invitation. Assemblies of God Nigeria Lawyers now filed a case against AGNN at the Federal High Court Abuja, for that illegal name registration, confiscation of properties and also the use of AGN logo. In the same suit, the Lawyers also include CAC as second defendants for not revoking the name of Incorporated trustees of AGNN outrightly.
As the saying goes that Truth Shall always prevail, just recently, to the glory of God, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ruled the case in favour of Assemblies of God Nigeria and against the illegally registered Assembly of God Northern Nigeria. The Court has ordered them (AGNN) to stop using Assemblies of God Nigeria’s logo, to vacate all the buildings of AGNN and also, the court has awarded a damage of 10 million Naira against the defendants to be paid to the Mother Church as compensation.
The court vehemently frowned at the obvious and so glaring illegality of the so call registered AGNN. For the benefit of doubt, the Judgment of the court and the orders it gave to the Illegally Registered Assembly of God Northern Nigeria (AGNN) is pasted here below for the perusal of the public.
Many right thinking members of the society have observed that Rev Yakubu Pam, being a highly placed government official, should have used his influence to help in reconciling the church, but rather than doing that, he is seen exercising a very high sense of selfishness.
Taking advantage of Assemblies of God Leadership crises to make name and machendise for himself and to also established his own denomination so that he can be very Powerful.His followers are by this publication advised to retrace their steps in order to safe themselves from a life time regret. The general public is also hereby advised to seize from all transactions or dealings with and in the name of Assembly of God Northern Nigeria (AGNN) or any person or group of persons acting on behalf of AGNN. Any one who enters into any contract with them, do so at his own peril as the body has seized to exist in the eye of the Law.
Sign,
Rev Andrew Dangwel
For General Council, Assemblies Of God Nigeria.”

Oyo 2027: Ajadi Secures Oke-Ogun PDP Backing, Holds Closed-Door Talks with Samuel Adejumobi (Agbarapo)
Oyo 2027: Ajadi Secures Oke-Ogun PDP Backing, Holds Closed-Door Talks with Samuel Adejumobi (Agbarapo)
Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Oke-Ogun zone of Oyo State on Tuesday received a leading governorship aspirant, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, in Saki, pledging political backing for his ambition ahead of the party’s primaries.
The stakeholders’ meeting, held at Saki City Hall, drew party leaders, community figures, and grassroots mobilisers from across the zone, reflecting the growing momentum surrounding Ajadi’s consultations across the state.
Addressing party faithful, Ajadi reiterated his commitment to building on the achievements of the current administration led by Governor Seyi Makinde, noting that continuity and expansion of ongoing projects would form the cornerstone of his policy direction.
“I will leverage the developmental strides of the present administration and ensure that their impact is extended to more communities across the state. Governance must be progressive, not disruptive,” Ajadi stated.
He outlined key areas of focus, including workers’ welfare and pension administration, promising a disciplined financial structure that guarantees prompt salary payments.
“Our workers deserve dignity and certainty. Salaries will be paid on or before the 25th of every month, and our retirees will receive improved attention. A government that neglects its workforce cannot deliver sustainable development,” he added.
Ajadi also disclosed plans for extensive grassroots engagement across all 33 local government areas of the state, aimed at identifying peculiar needs and integrating them into policy formulation.
“This is not just about ambition; it is about understanding the people. I will be embarking on a statewide tour to listen, learn, and design policies that reflect the realities at the grassroots,” he said.
Party leaders and stakeholders from Saki West and the wider Oke-Ogun zone pledged their support for Ajadi, citing his accessibility, philanthropic engagements, and perceived capacity to lead the state. Among those who spoke were Alhaji Rasak Aderele (popularly known as Super), Adeleke Thomas (Baba Elepo), and Hon. Coach Kehinde Adetola, who described him as a unifying figure capable of strengthening the PDP’s electoral chances.
Addressing concerns about internal party dynamics, Ajadi reaffirmed his loyalty to the PDP, dismissing speculation about a possible defection.
“I remain committed to the PDP. This is my party, and I believe in its vision. My focus is on securing the mandate of our members through consultations and consensus-building,” he said.
Shortly after the stakeholders’ engagement, Ajadi proceeded to a closed-door strategic meeting with a fellow PDP gubernatorial aspirant, Samuel Ademola Adejumobi, popularly known as “Agbarapo.”
Adejumobi, a prominent political figure from Atisbo Local Government Area in the Oke-Ogun zone, is a former Majority Leader of the Oyo State House of Assembly and currently serves as Special Adviser on Legislative Matters to Governor Makinde. The meeting, held indoors away from the larger gathering, was seen as part of ongoing consultations and alignment efforts among aspirants within the party.
Observers note that such high-level engagements signal a strategic attempt to foster unity and strengthen internal cohesion ahead of the PDP governorship primaries.
With growing grassroots support and intensified consultations across Oke-Ogun and beyond, Ajadi’s political activities continue to gather pace, positioning him as a formidable contender in the race for the party’s ticket.

Four Times Primate Ayodele Warned About Resurfacing Of Covid-19 In Nigeria (VIDEOS)
Four Times Primate Ayodele Warned About Resurfacing Of Covid-19 In Nigeria (VIDEOS)
Nigerians have been gripped by fear since the report of the COVID-19 variant in Cross River.
The Cross River State Ministry of Health has begun profiling and tracing individuals in the state who have been in contact with a Chinese national admitted after testing positive for the COVID-19 virus.
Not many people expected this to happen in Nigeria, because since 2020 when the global pandemic happened, there hasn’t been a single case of the virus in the country until yesterday, about five years later.
However, despite the fact that Nigeria was declared Covid-19 free, popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, warned about three times that he foresees the virus coming back to Nigeria.
In his first prophecy regarding it, he warned that Nigerians should not pray to see Lassa fever and Covid-19 coming back in some areas.
“Let’s pray so that we don’t see Lassa Fever again. Let’s pray so that Covid will not come back in some areas”

This wasn’t given attention by many because it felt Nigeria has been immune to the virus. Everyone went about their business as usual, and in the midst of all that, Primate Ayodele warned intensely again.
“Let’s watch this for the World Health Organization, I see airborne disease, Covid in another dimension that can cause cough, cold, air disease, it’s a warning and that’s what the Lord said.”
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9dj5UL5/
This time, he specifically called out the World Health Organization about re-occurrence of Covid; and gave directions regarding how it would happen. He also emphasized that it was what the Lord said, but how many people actually listen?
Again, during a church service, Primate Ayodele warned that Covid is coming and will happen in a different way compared to the previous one. He made it known that the way of contacting it will be different from the previous one.
“Also, Covid is coming, but the way it’s going to come will be different from the way we experienced it that time. The process of contacting it will be different from the previous one.”

Likewise, in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings to the Nations, Primate Ayodele warned that another round of COVID is coming. This book was released in July 2025.
“Another round of COVID will come up, and another disease epidemic. I foresee that a lot of money will be spent, and they will face some challenges in getting things right. The workers of this Body will be attacked, and there will be changes in leadership” (Page 36)
All of these have fulfilled the prophecies of Primate Ayodele. Beyond the prophecy fulfilment, this is a call to relevant authorities to always listen when God is warning them about anything through his prophet.

Nigerian Prophet Begs Federal Government to Stop Killing of Christians, Backs Tinubu’s Second Term
Nigerian Prophet Begs Federal Government to Stop Killing of Christians, Backs Tinubu’s Second Term
Abuja – Rev Prophet Dr Hungbenu Michael Olusegun, Founder of Celestrial Deliverance Church of Christ in Zhidu Village, Abuja, has made an emotional appeal to the Federal Government to stop the killing of Christians across Nigeria while also throwing his weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office.
Speaking from his Abuja headquarters, the Prophet declared that leadership is a continuum and that Nigeria’s ongoing reforms require stability and time to bear fruit. He said, “Politics has nothing to do with religion. The ballot box is not the altar. Whether you are from the East, the North, the West, or the Yoruba community, we are one people under God.”
Rev Prophet Dr Hungbenu Michael Olusegun used the opportunity to make a special appeal to the Federal Government, saying, “I beg the Federal Government, in the name of God and for the sake of humanity: Please help stop the killing of Christians across this nation. From the villages to the cities, too much innocent blood has been shed. Targeted attacks on Christian communities must stop. We plead for stronger protection, justice for victims, and lasting peace.” He acknowledged the pain of insecurity, especially the killing of Christians and farmers across the Middle Belt and Northern Nigeria, but also noted verifiable security gains under President Tinubu including over 3,000 hostages rescued from bandits and terrorists in the last 12 months, deployment of new attack helicopters and surveillance drones to flashpoints, and a reduction in oil theft from over 400,000 barrels per day to under 200,000 barrels per day.
He said, “The issue is security, and security is everybody’s business. We cannot build a nation if our people are not safe. But we must also acknowledge progress.” He added that a second term would allow the administration to consolidate its security architecture rather than restarting with new leadership.
On economic reforms, Rev Prophet Dr Hungbenu Michael Olusegun argued that President Tinubu’s first term has witnessed the most audacious economic reforms in Nigeria’s recent history, including fuel subsidy removal saving the nation over ₦400 billion monthly, a unified exchange rate attracting over $2 billion in foreign portfolio inflows, the Student Loans Act benefiting over 100,000 students, and local government autonomy. He argued that no major economy in the world has successfully reversed course after landmark reforms within a single term, adding that abandoning the reform agenda now would plunge Nigeria back into uncertainty.
Rev Prophet Dr Hungbenu Michael Olusegun stressed that President Tinubu’s emergence broke a dangerous cycle, noting that Tinubu is the first Southern Muslim to lead Nigeria since 1993, balancing power after eight years of a Northern President. He pointed out that under Tinubu, the South holds the presidency of the Senate but the Speaker of the House is from the North-West. He urged, “Let the East join hands with the West. Let the North embrace the South. Let the Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, and all 250 plus tribes say: ‘Nigeria first.’”
Drawing comparisons to global examples such as India’s Narendra Modi, Rwanda’s Paul Kagame, and Indonesia’s Joko Widodo, the Prophet argued that second terms deliver long-term prosperity. He said, “Nigeria is not an exception. If we change leadership every four years, we will remain a building site forever.”
Rev Prophet Dr Hungbenu Michael Olusegun closed with a prayer and a charge: “Nigeria will only rise when we rise above division. I am not speaking as Ogu, Yoruba, Igbo, or Hausa. I speak as a Nigerian, and as a minister of the gospel of peace. God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.” He urged all Nigerians to pray for the nation, support security agencies, and give President Tinubu the opportunity to complete what he has started. The press release was issued on 20th April 2026 from his church in Zhidu Village behind Piwoyi Village off Lugbe Airport Road, FCT Abuja.
