SANWO-OLU, ADEBOYE TASKS NIGERIANS ON PEACE

•Greater Lagos agenda on course, says Lagos Governor

SANWO-OLU

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, have called on Nigerians to continuously work and pray for peace in the nation.

 

They made the call on Sunday at the Redeemed Christians Church of God (RCCG) October Thanksgiving Service and Special Prayer Session for all State Governors and Deputy Governors tagged “Perfect Peace in the Land” held at the church corporate headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos.

 

 

 

Governor Sanwo-Olu while addressing the large congregation at the service urged Nigerians, including Lagosians to continue to pray for leaders in Nigeria and for peace to reign in the land with an assurance to believe that greater things are ahead.

 

The Governor, who attended the programme with his wife, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu and other dignitaries which include the representatives of Governors Gboyega Oyetola (Osun) and Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), said the Greater Lagos agenda of his administration, which had brought about infrastructural development across Lagos State, is on course and more of it would be delivered.

 

 

 

 

He said: “This service taking place a Sunday after the Independence Day anniversary is very important. And I think our GO (Pastor Adeboye) has said it all. We need perfect peace in our country but for us to have that perfect peace; we also need to have peace from individuals. It is we the citizens that make the country. It is not just about a metaphorical country; it is the people on the ground that truly make a country.

 

“We need to have that perfect peace in how we live our lives mentally, physically, financially, morally and all of it, and it is only when that happens that it can affect the country. He (Pastor Adeboye) has also encouraged all of us that we need to continually pray for our leaders. People are made up of the kind of leaders they have. So, it is really a partnership by ensuring that the citizens play their roles and leaders also play their roles.

 

 

 

 

“For me, it is another clarion call that it might not be perfect but there is light at the end of the tunnel. And for us in Lagos, we are grateful because this is the most peaceful part of the country. We don’t want to take it for granted and that is why we have come here to thank God, to also appeal and pray to God for that peace to continue to reign.”

 

Governor Sanwo-Olu also assured the people of Lagos State that his administration will continue to do its best in delivering dividends of democracy and infrastructural development to ensure that Lagos State remains home to all.

 

 

 

 

He said: “The 62nd Independence anniversary is an important time for all of us to also come together as Lagosians. A lot of things are happening in our state; not just peace, there is infrastructural renewal every day. Even while disruption is going on let us be patient with the government because the commitment to make Lagos a lot bigger for each and every one of us is on course and we all can see it.

 

“For us in Lagos State is to continue to see the Greater Lagos in our lives. It is for us to pray that the peace and the infrastructural development that is taking place in our state will continue. I know around you, you can see that there are some bits of disruption. If you get to Apapa Road Junction, Yaba and Ikeja, there are bits of disruption there because of the train we are doing and the bridges we are constructing.

 

 

 

 

“If you go to Ikorodu, Epe and other places, you will see some disruptions; it is because we want some positive things to happen. The Greater Lagos is on course. The Greater Lagos will not be retarded; it will not be stopped. Don’t give up. I want to assure you that greater things and bigger things are ahead of us. My prayer and my wish are that as I stand here as your governor today, October 2, 2022, I will also stand here as your governor in October 2023.

 

In his sermon, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christians Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, who took his sermon from a Bible passage, 1 Corinthians 7:13-14, prayed for perfect peace in Nigeria as well as every home.

 

 

 

 

Pastor Adeboye, who prayed that God would heal the land and intervene in various issues affecting the country negatively, urged the people to prepare to join him very soon for fasting and prayer for the country.

 

He called on Nigerians to pray for their rulers and stop criticism so that God would continue to guide them aright if they want peace and to be able to overcome the storm.

 

 

 

 

The General Overseer prayed that all the enemies of Nigeria would be defeated so that the people can have peace and the Controller of storms would speak peace to the nation.

Sahara Reporters Lied! Pastor O.C. Benjamin Denies Ever Meeting Apostle Suleman In Viral Video

 

Pastor O.C Benjamin of the Fulfillers House Church Assemble has described as “lie from the pit of hell” a story published by an online publication, Sahara Reporters, that he was used to stage a miracle by the Omega Fire Ministry’s General Overseer, Apostle Johnson Suleman, to “raise the dead”.

 

Sahara Reporters Lied! Pastor O.C. Benjamin Denies Ever Meeting Apostle Suleman In Viral Video

In a video that has gone viral online, Apostle Benjamin punctured Sahara Reporters’ story declaring that he has never met Apostle Johnson Suleman in person, let alone being used by him to stage a miracle.

 

According to Apostle O.C. Benjamin in the viral video;

 

“God bless you, ladies and gentlemen. Apostle Ozi Benjamin is his name. Lately, my attention was drawn to a news item that has been flying on the internet that I, Apostle Ozi Benjamin said that Prophet (Prof.) Apostle Johnson Suleman gave me a substance with which I injected a dead person, and the dead person came back to life. I want the general public to please neglect such news.

 

I have never met with Apostle Johnson Suleman; Apostle Johnson Suleman does not even know me in person. I only watch him online preaching from a distance. This is propaganda from the pit of hell. Usually, anytime there are criticisms or propaganda against my person on the internet, I don’t respond. I am responding to this latest one because they’re trying to drag me into collision with Apostle Johnson Suleman.

 

This does not have anything to do with Apostle Johnson Suleman. I want everyone to disregard this news. I wonder what kind of lie this is.

 

I had never handled a syringe before, let alone injected someone. I want the general public to please neglect such news. It is a pure lie, balderdash. And all those spreading such a news, one day God’s judgement is going to rest upon you.”

Sahara Weekly Reports That Timothy Omotoso, a Nigerian pastor and leader of the Jesus Dominion International (JDI) church, was arrested in April 2017 on multiple charges, including racketeering, trafficking in persons, rape, and sexual assault. His arrest led to a protracted legal battle that spanned nearly eight years, marked by numerous delays and legal maneuvers. As of April 2, 2025, the Gqeberha High Court is scheduled to deliver judgment in his case.

Background and Arrest

 

Omotoso’s JDI church had major branches in South Africa, Nigeria, and Israel, with its headquarters in Durban, South Africa. He was often referred to as “the man of God” by his followers. The allegations against him and his co-accused, Lusanda Sulani and Zikiswa Sitho, involved recruiting congregants, employees, or individuals under the pretext of offering spiritual benefits or improving their quality of life. These individuals were allegedly transported to various locations, including Durban, Israel, or Nigeria, where they were subjected to strict control and, in some cases, sexual exploitation.

 

 

Legal Proceedings and Delays

 

The trial faced numerous delays since the arrest in April 2017. Omotoso made multiple applications for a mistrial, citing prosecutorial misconduct and other issues. In October 2023, the Gqeberha High Court dismissed an application for discharge brought by Omotoso and his co-accused. However, the court acquitted them of almost half of the charges, reducing the number from 63 to 32. The remaining charges included several counts of rape and sexual assault.

 

 

The delays in the trial led to some witnesses withdrawing from the case, indicating they had moved on with their lives and were not interested in reliving their experiences in court. This contributed to the reduction of charges. Despite these challenges, the prosecution remained committed to finalizing the case and serving justice for the victims.

 

 

Current Status

 

As of April 2, 2025, the Gqeberha High Court is set to deliver judgment in the case against Omotoso and his co-accused. The outcome will determine their legal standing and potential sentencing. Omotoso has been denied bail throughout the trial, while Sulani and Sitho have been out on bail.

 

 

Conclusion

 

The case of Timothy Omotoso has been a complex and lengthy legal battle, highlighting challenges in the judicial process, especially concerning cases involving multiple jurisdictions and sensitive allegations. The scheduled judgment on April 2, 2025, is a significant milestone in this protracted case, potentially bringing closure to the involved parties.

Ayomide Adetoro, a devoted lover of Jesus, a passionate Christian, a voice to this generation, a revivalist, and a key leader of the Jesus Must Be Seen Community, continues to ignite the fire of faith.

 

Revival at Sango Under Bridge: Ayomide Adetoro's Mission for Christ

 

This community is dedicated to spreading the Gospel across different states through powerful worship sessions, praise, healing, miracles, and more. More than just a movement, it is a family of Christ’s soldiers, committed to kingdom expansion.

 

 

Recently, they visited a well-known landmark in Ogun State—the bustling Sango Under Bridge. Indeed, Jesus was seen, and His power moved mightily. Miracles took place, healings manifested, and many encountered the divine touch of Jesus.

 

Revival at Sango Under Bridge: Ayomide Adetoro's Mission for Christ

 

With communities established in over 20 states and three countries, their commitment, passion, and readiness to spread the fire of Christ remain unwavering. Their mission is clear—to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

 

 

The community welcomes new members, partners, and supporters to help make this vision a global reality. As the Bible states in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

 

 

The Gospel will reach everyone, but personal decisions matter. One cannot live in unbelief and expect to access heaven. Becoming a believer is essential, and the Jesus Must Be Seen Community plays a vital role in bringing the message of salvation to the lost and unjust. Many are learning to align with God’s principles and will through their work.
