Woman busts prostitution ring, rescues seven girls in Lagos

The Chief Security Officer, Amuwo Odofin, Festac Town Lagos State, Ms. Ange Ify Udeogalanya, has busted an international prostitution ring and rescued seven girls from being trafficked to Ghana.

According to information gathered by our reporter, Udeogalanya, who is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Angels Assurance Security Outfits Limited, discovered the first girl Onyinyechi on Saturday morning and later used information gleaned from her to rescue other girls from hotels in Festac Town.

In the process of rescuing the girls, Udeogalanya and members of her staff also arrested three of the alleged traffickers.

The suspects were handed over to Area E Police Command, for transfer to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).

One of the suspects, identified as Ejike, had forcibly had sexual intercourse with two of the girls several times before his arrest. The two girls are ages 14 and 16.

It was also learned that before the rescue of the girls, a first batch of girls and three boys had been moved from the hotels to Ghana via road.

The traffickers got the girls from Akwa-Ibom and Abia states. They promised them jobs as cleaners in Lagos State, but when they got to Lagos, they told them to prepare to be taken to Ghana for prostitution.

They were told that the Ghanaian Cedi was higher in value than the Nigerian Naira, thus they would become rich within days of putting themselves to work.

The girls were housed in two different hotels and were locked in rooms. It was in those rooms that Ejike went to have sex with the two girls, while he groped the breasts of others.

The 14 years old girl said: “On the first of my arrival, he had sex with me twice in the room, where he had locked me. After that, every time he was going out, he would lock me in. I stayed there for three days and in those three days, he was always having sex with me.”

One of the rescued girls, Harmony, has been trafficked once to Anambra State by two men, where she was forced by her madam to have sex with 35 men per day at N1000 per client.

She was told by her traffickers, who moved her from Akwa-Ibom to Anambra State that she would be going there to work as a waitress in a bar. She was also promised N20, 000 as her salary.

Harmony, the first child in a family of five children, with a crippled father and mother, selling bean cake by the road, felt it was a good deal.

When she got to the supposed beer parlour, she was shocked at what she saw.

She said: “I saw nine years old girls, 10 years old girls and 15 years old girls being forced by their madams to hustle. I asked a woman there what the girls were doing just to be sure, she said prostitution. My madam said I should work for her, I said no. She starved of food until I had to start doing the work. The suffering there was too much. I was punished several times by kneeling on periwinkle shells and broken bottles. Clients pay N1000 and they are usually in a queue. In a day, I make between N30, 000 and N40,000, that means between 30 and 40 men in a day. My madam collects all the money. There was a time when a client gave me N5000, but he did not touch me, he only asked me to leave that hotel. My madam saw the money and collected it from me.”

The leader of the kingpin has been identified as Ebuka and on the day of the bust, was alleged to have literally vanished into thin air, claimed the girls.

Following the bust, Ebuka had been calling Udeogalanya with a Ghana telephone line. He initially asked her to name her price, so that she could release the girls back to him and back out, but later offered her N2m, which she turned down.

Udeogalanya, who said that her heart bleeds for the girls, immediately moved them to NAPTIP, this was even as she expressed concern for her own safety.

Although the bust was made on Saturday and the suspects had been with the police, but rather than transfer the case to NAPTIP, the agency in charge of such matters, the police at Area E Command was nursing the idea of charging the matter to court.

On Wednesday, our reporter contacted the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Benjamin Hundeyin, asking to know when the matter would be transferred to NAPTIP, facts of the case and the names of the three suspects.

Hundeyin only responded that the matter would be transferred that same day (Wednesday).

Excitement as Zamfara Under Governor Lawal Begins Airlift of Pilgrims at Zamfara Airport

There is palpable excitement in Zamfara State as the administration of Governor Dauda Lawal officially commenced the 2026 Hajj airlift for pilgrims from the Gusau Airport (GIA). In a historic move aimed at easing the pilgrimage process, the state government announced that the first batch of pilgrims who departed for the Holy Land today, Friday, 15th May 2026.

This milestone marks the fulfillment of Governor Lawal’s promise to make direct departures from Zamfara a reality, eliminating the need for pilgrims to travel to other states for airlift. However, the state government has issued a strict advisory to the public regarding conduct at the airport. To ensure security and facilitate the smooth coordination of the airlift operations, escorting pilgrims to the airport is strictly prohibited.

Family members and friends wishing to bid farewell to their loved ones are directed to do so only at the Hajj Camp. The restriction, according to officials, is a necessary measure to prevent congestion and maintain order at the airport premises. Officials confirm that the airlift is now underway at Gusau International Airport. The development has been met with widespread praise from intending pilgrims, who expressed relief at being able to begin their spiritual journey directly from their home state.

The Zamfara State Government extended its sincere gratitude to Governor Lawal for his commitment, emphasizing that the direct airlift reflects a new chapter of convenience and efficiency for the state’s annual Hajj operations.

Dr. Chris Okafor Declares Grace Nation Is In The Season Of Signs And Wonders

…Reaffirm that when disobedience occurs, God’s Kingdom withdraws; serving with sincerity and fervor leads to triumph

~By Sunday Adeyemi

The metamorphosis of Grace Nation into a terrestrial paradise is palpable, with multifaceted miracles manifesting daily, as it has evolved from a church into a comprehensive movement where the all-powerful hand of God operates in diverse dimensions

The 14th of May 2026 midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions service was a testament to the power of faith, witnessing remarkable displays of miraculous healings, deliverances, and solutions. God’s omnipresent hand was visibly manifest, touching lives and restoring health, notably in the case of a man afflicted with body pains for 26 years, who, after being prayed for by the Generational Prophet, experienced instantaneous relief.

During the midweek service, a notable miracle took place when an 11-year-old boy who was born mute spoke for the first time. Furthermore, a woman carrying twins for an extraordinary period of 2 years was suddenly delivered; labor ensued immediately after she received prayer, necessitating her hospitalization. In a stunning display of divine intervention, growth ceased, and a woman testified to the efficacy of the Generational Prophet’s prayers, which had been offered on her behalf a few weeks earlier. Specifically, her business-related struggles seemed insurmountable until her tricycle, which had lain dormant for weeks, suddenly sprang to life without any mechanical intervention.

Marital obstacles hindering the two brides-to-be were removed, as many expectant mothers were blessed with miracle babies. It is evident that Grace Nation is undergoing its phases of astounding Signs and Wonders.

Generational Prophet Dr. Chris Okafor, in his teachings on ‘Dealing With My Daddy’s Devil,’ points out that the sins of fathers can weigh heavily on their children, and unless one actively works to break this cycle, generational battles will inevitably continue from one generation to the next

*How to Deal with Your Daddy’s Devil*

To successfully address the issue of generational curses or strongholds in your family, it is necessary to understand the underlying spiritual principles and technical aspects. Knowing the source and method of entry of the devil into your bloodline, as well as the reasons behind its establishment in your father’s house, is vital. By understanding these key concepts, you will be able to make positive changes and effectively deal with these generational battles

*Breaking Free from Generational Conflict.*

In order to overcome the devilish influences of your father, serving your Lord and Savior in truth and spirit is essential; this empowers and elevates you above all earthly struggles

A strong prayer life is crucial for spiritual well-being; the devil commonly uses the depletion of one’s prayer life as a tactic to dominate the lives of God’s spiritually vulnerable children

Hence, the sole legitimate approach to terminating the devil’s influence within one’s family lineage involves authentic devotion to God, necessitating a superior force to dislodge an entrenched inferior spirit, with Generational Prophet of God Dr. Chris Okafor underscoring adherence to covenant principles as pivotal in transcending intergenerational curses

The midweek Prophetic Healing Deliverance and Solutions (PHDS) took place at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide, situated in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
