THREAT TO LIFE: PASTOR PETITIONS IG

A pastor in Lagos, Prophet   Joseph Enoch Apata, General Overseer of Vineyard of Deliverance Ministries aka The Rock Church and Prince Olalekan Shekoni-Alo, a senior pastor at Vineyard of Deliverance Ministries have petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IG), Ibrahim Idris Kpotum, over a plot to assassinate them.
Dated April 27 and signed by Deji Owolagba, Apata and Shekoni-Alo, through their lawyers, Sigma Solicitors, are alleging that plans have been perfected to assassinate them.
According to the petition, on Sunday, April 23, Apata received a call from one Dayo who informed him of the plot. The petition stated that Dayo had earlier paid a visit to another suspect known as Kayode at his home where he saw Pastor Apata’s pictures after which Kayode confided in him that he was contracted to assassinate Apata after being offered huge sums of money as ransomed for Apata’s life. Kayode also told Dayo that they had been monitoring Apata’s movements in view of his assassination.
The petitioners further stated that Dayo had blown the whistle on Kayode and informed Apata stating that he was interceding on behalf of the pastor because of his good name.
The petition states that the pastor had contacted the police despite being warned not to because they (assassins) operate a deadly ring with other cells that will carry on with the job in case they are nabbed.
In the petition, Apata’s lawyers stated that he had played along with the assassins by requesting further proof and Dayo had provided a recorded video of several meetings between the assassins and their clients which culminated in a number of arrests by police operatives from Area J Command, Lagos.
The petition read thus: “The suspects have boasted of their superior connections with high powered individuals and have reiterated their threats of carrying out revenge. Since assassinations are rampant now, we are calling on you ( Inspector General of Police) to use you good offices to promptly intervene and save our clients’ lives.”

However he says if Chuddy K wants to leave, it must be done legally. “He has all rights to say he is done but it has to be done within the ambits of the law; it has to be done legally because there is a binding contract. To be honest with you, I really don’t know what led to his decision to leave. He just ca...

Actress Mary Uranta’s allegation: My story By TONY OGAGA ERHARIEFE

In its travel advisory, the Goethe Institute had warned: ‘Pack an umbrella and a sweater.’ For no particular reason I had ignored the warning and I was about to learn the hard way. As soon as we touched down at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi, for the 10 Cities project, sponsored by Goethe Institute, Nairobi and designed to capture the evolution of club culture and music in 10 cities across the world, I knew I was in a different environment. For one, the air smelt clean but the weather was cold, so cold I could feel it in my marrows. We had spent two brainstorming days that included power point presentations, in-depth discussions and debates. Now the organisers felt we should take a retreat and visit one of Kenya’s treasured resorts, Lake Naivisha, located in Nairobi’s countryside and elevated at 6000 feet above sea level. It promised to be an exciting experience as we had been informed that the journey would take us through the rift valley, which I had read about in the ...
