Benue, Kwara Killings: Primate Ayodele Warned But They Never Listened

When Nigerians started celebrating after the United States launched an attack against terrorists in Nigeria on December 25, 2025, Primate Ayodele stood out when he said the nation shouldn’t celebrate yet because there would be reprisal attacks.

Many quickly lashed out at him, calling him all sorts of names like prophet of doom, fake prophet, bet9ja prophet, to mention but a few. However, the prophet stood his ground and continued to warn President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his team that terrorists are planning to attack some Nigerian states.

His words after the US-led attack were:

“Nigerians shouldn’t celebrate yet, and President Tinubu shouldn’t celebrate either, because the powerlessness of his government is getting exposed, and America can come up with anything against him. This won’t stop kidnapping or insecurity in Nigeria.

“The government of Nigeria must work on it because the US cannot do it without the Nigerian government.

“Another bombing is coming up, and these bandits are ready for the consequences. They are also ready to counter-attack heavily; the government must get prepared for the outcome.”

Many didn’t know that Primate Ayodele isn’t a prophetwhot just speaks for attention’s sake, he speaks as directed by the most high God, and that’s why he is always fearless in his approaches. Even though the presidency celebrated it, he called their attention to some plans of terrorists across the country.

It’s been barely two months after the attack by the United States, and the country is back to more folds of insecurity across the country. Bandits have launched full-fledged attacks on the nation, killing several innocent souls without being checked or arrested.

If only security operatives listened to Primate Ayodele’s warning, he vividly mentioned some of the states that bandits orterroristst would be visiting. He shared them in a public forum at least twice, including in video recordings, but we wonder what these security operatives do with sensitive messages like this.

In one of the prophetic moments, he mentioned about eight states that will be attacked by terrorists if care isn’t taken.

“These states, Nasarawa, Abuja, Ondo, Kaduna, Sokoto, Benue, Katsina, Yobe, should be paid close attention to. They should deploy more soldiers to these states.”

Just yesterday in Benue, inn Benue State, 17 people, including a Mobile Police officer, were killed when gunmen attacked the Abande market in Mbaikyor Ward, Turan district of Kwande Local Government Area. Gunmen opened fire on traders and residents, killing many on the spot. Police spokesperson in Benue State, Udeme Edet, confirmed the attack.

In Katsina, In Katsina State, at least 20 residents were killed when bandits stormed Doma community in Tafoki Ward, Faskari Local Government Area.

Witnesses said the attackers moved unhindered, shooting villagers and setting houses and vehicles ablaze before fleeing. Faskari Local Government Chairman Surajo Aliyu confirmed the incident, describing it as a deadly reprisal and the worst in recent months.

In Kwara, too, Primate Ayodele had said earlier before now, just after the Eruku incident, that he still sees attacks in the state.

In fulfilment of this, bandits killed at least 10 villagers in Woro and Nuku communities in Kaiama Local Government Area. The attackers, reportedly operating from the Borgu National Park forest in neighbouring Niger State, invaded the communities around 6.00 pm, firing sporadically and setting houses ablaze.

Sincerely, all of these could have been avoided if they had listened.

Prophet Genesis extends heartfelt condolences on the transition of beloved Nollywood actress Aunty Ajara to eternal glory.

I received the news of Aunty Ajara’s passing with great shock and sadness. At 25, her passing is particularly painful, and her loving presence will be deeply missed. My beloved Aunty Ajara arrived and made a lasting impression despite the inevitability of death.

The demise of this remarkable Ajara has deprived her family and the entire Nollywood industry of a profoundly resourceful and distinguished sister.

As mortals, we acquiesce to the divine will of the Almighty. I join the esteemed members of the Nollywood entertainment industry in acknowledging the Almighty’s greatness in our lives and extend our heartfelt condolences to the family during this period of mourning.

I offer my condolences and prayers, beseeching God Almighty to grant her gentle soul eternal peace and imbue her family with the fortitude necessary to cope with this irreparable loss.

May her gentle soul find comfort in the Lord Amen!

COURT ADJOURNS PROCEEDINGS AGAIN AS FOPCHEN MAINTAINS CALL FOR MORAL REBIRTH

Proceedings in the ongoing court case involving Oyewale Olufemi Ezekiel resumed today at the High Court of Ogun State, Ota Division, following the last adjournment on July 30, but were once again adjourned.

At the resumption, the court addressed pending procedural and legal matters arising from earlier sessions. However, after brief proceedings, the presiding judge adjourned the case, citing the need for further consideration of issues before the court. The matter was subsequently adjourned till March 24, 2026, for continuation of hearing.

The case, which has continued to draw public attention, revolves around multiple counts preferred against the defendant under existing Nigerian laws. Since its commencement, the matter has witnessed a series of adjournments, largely due to legal objections, documentation reviews, and procedural deliberations.

Reacting to the fresh adjournment, the Foundation for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage in Nigeria (FOPCHEN) reiterated its position that the case underscores broader concerns about moral values in contemporary society. The organisation restated its call for a moral rebirth, urging stakeholders to look beyond the courtroom and address what it described as a growing erosion of cultural and ethical standards.
FOPCHEN emphasised that while it respects the judicial process and the right of all parties to fair hearing, society must also engage in meaningful dialogue around values, responsibility, and cultural identity.

As the court awaits the next adjourned date of March 24, 2026, the case continues to spark discussion on the intersection of law, culture, and morality in Nigeria, with observers keenly watching how the legal process unfolds.
