Threat to life from Fulani bandits: Gbenga Adelusi flees to escape being tortured, potential death
Threat to life from Fulani bandits: Gbenga Adelusi flees to escape being tortured, potential death
…Loose’s biological mother, Mrs,Oyinlola Majeyagbe Adelusi to Eruku Bandits Church attack
Gbenga Adelusi, a distinguished son of ErukuCity in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria, is a notable figure with a dark complexion. He is married to Mrs. Funke Ogundoyin Adelusi and is blessed with three children.
On November 30, 2025, Gbenga Adelusi took advantage of an available flight to escape to Ireland due to threats to his life posed by radical Fulani Islamic extremists in Kwara State, Nigeria.
The tumult started on Sunday, November 11th, 2025, when bandits made their first incursion into Eruku community, sparking a tragic loss of lives and the incineration of the Eruku Vigilantes’ Hilux vehicles, with communities seized by anxiety over the Kwara State government’s failure to ensure its citizens’ security as promised during the political campaign
Eruku community experienced another invasion attempt on November 13, 2025, when Chief Agbana was reportedly kidnapped by bandits, triggering sporadic gunshots and prompting the abrupt closure of two secondary schools in the area to ensure student safety amid heightened insecurity.
The worst-case scenario took place on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, at 6:15 p.m. in Eruku community, during the course of a seven-day CAC church revival.This unfortunate event caused the untimely demise of my mother, Mrs. Oyinlola Majeyagbe Adelusi, and three other notable individuals from the Eruku community.
Alaja, the Church security would have likely received support from the limited number of local hunters and vigilantes on hand, but they were reportedly without ammunition. Several police officers on the scene fled to safety and later returned around 8 pm to deploy tear gas and disperse the crowd. One of the bandits, who had climbed a tree to conduct surveillance, spotted Tunde Asaba fleeing through the Church back door and shot him dead, just like the others.The CAC Church offices experienced a forced break-in, resulting in the theft of worshippers’ phones and other valuable items.
The Fulani bandits subjected aged men and women to severe physical abuse, using sticks and cutlasses, and apparently declined to take them into the bushes, considering their fragile health.
How Did the Journey of the 38 Abductees into the Dense Forest, which Resulted in the Untimely Death of My Biological Mother, Mrs. Oyinlola Majeyagbe Adelusi, Begin?
An open letter sent to the traditional ruler and the community’s council of chiefs carried a dire warning that the Fulani bandits, motivated by their Islamic agenda, would eradicate the entire Eruku community unless its youth abandoned their current faith for Islam, thereby imperiling the lives of the young population
On that Tuesday evening, a distressing occurrence befell the Eruku community, as about 38 of its distinguished sons and Daughters, including young children, were kidnapped from the CAC Church and taken into the nearby forest.They started this lengthy journey on Tuesday evening, embarking on an uninterrupted overnight trek from Eruku through Isapa than to Oko Loke to Ndanaku on the pathway to Isapa the neighboring community Having walked them continuously through a dense forest before their rescue on Sunday, 23 November 2025, signified a total of five days spent in the camp.
Our Monday Editor was informed by a reliable source close to the family of Oyinlola Majeyagbe Adelusi, who fell victim to the Eruku community Fulani bandit attack, that Gbenga Adelusi and family were amongst the targeted youth threatened to be converted to the Islamic religion within the community, this led to his prompt fleeing from the Eruku community on Sunday, November 30th, 2025.
As the threat to life became increasingly unmanageable, Gbenga Adelusi departed from the Eruku community on Friday 28th November 2025 to seek refuge in a hotel located in the capital of Kwara State, Ilorin.
Gbenga Adelusi fled to avoid the Fulani bandits’ reprisal, which may have resulted in his torture to death, just like the fate that befell his biological mother. Gbenga Adelusi had been attempting to evade danger due to a fear of being threatened with death since then, but his whereabouts remained unknown at the time this report was filed.
Gbenga Adelusi’s sincere appeal to the Ireland government, as shared with BethNews Media, is for protection from refoulement, permission to stay in their territory, and access to decent treatment standards and a lasting solution.
COAS Launches Nationwide Security Renewal Mission in Plateau
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, on Thursday led a high-level delegation of security chiefs to Plateau State, flagging off a nationwide security renewal mission aimed at strengthening civil-military cooperation and restoring lasting peace across the country.
The visit to Jos, the Plateau State capital, marks the first phase of a coordinated national effort to address persistent security challenges through joint operations, community engagement, and proactive intelligence gathering.
Governor Caleb Muftwang received the delegation, describing the initiative as a critical step toward stabilizing affected communities and reinforcing public confidence in security institutions.
Civil-Military Synergy Takes Centre Stage
At the heart of the mission is a renewed emphasis on collaboration between the military, civil authorities, and local communities. Speaking during the visit, Lt. Gen. Shaibu stressed that national security must be treated as a collective responsibility.
He urged citizens to support security agencies by remaining vigilant, sharing credible information, and complying with lawful directives, noting that effective security cannot be achieved in isolation.

In a departure from purely operational engagements, the Army Chief held direct consultations with community leaders and residents in Jos, reinforcing the importance of trust and dialogue in conflict resolution.
Lawmakers, including Dachung Bagos and Ladi Dangyok, commended the initiative, stating that visible engagement by top military leadership helps rebuild confidence among citizens and fosters cooperation.
Proactive Security Operations Underway

According to the Army, the approach is designed to prevent escalation of threats, safeguard lives and property, and stabilize vulnerable communities before crises emerge.
A Shift Toward Sustainable Peace
Military authorities emphasized that the Plateau visit is part of a broader, long-term strategy to transition from reactive responses to sustainable peacebuilding nationwide. The framework includes strengthening local resilience, ensuring justice, and maintaining continuous engagement with stakeholders.
Analysts view the initiative as a significant policy shift, reflecting a more inclusive security architecture that integrates community participation with military operations.
Call for National Unity
The Army leadership concluded with an appeal to Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and support ongoing efforts to promote unity and peace.

……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”
The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.
Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.
Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery.

These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.
God Works by Principle, Not Gossip
