Ondo Prophetess Arrested After Woman and Newborn Die from Childbirth Complications at Church

Published

The Ondo State Police Command has detained Prophetess Folashade Kikiowo Adekola of Christ Engracing Deliverance Ministry in Akure, following the tragic death of 28-year-old Jumoke Adesuwa and her newborn baby during childbirth at the church.

Reports indicate that Adesuwa experienced severe bleeding after giving birth at the prophetess’s church, which led to the baby’s immediate death and ultimately her own.

The incident came to light after Adesuwa’s brother filed a complaint at the Oke-Aro Police Station. Ondo Police spokesperson, Mrs. Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed that Adekola is currently in custody while investigations continue.

Family sources disclosed that Adesuwa had gone to the church days before her delivery without informing her husband, Ayodele Adesuwa, who had provided funds for her to register at a government hospital.

Unaware of her whereabouts, Ayodele only learned about her delivery after being contacted by someone at the church.

When family members arrived, they found her in critical condition and attempted to rush her to hospitals, but she was turned away from three facilities before passing away in the fourth.

Upon returning to the church for the newborn’s body, they found the remains in a room that, according to family members, was ill-suited for childbirth.

The woman’s remains have been deposited at the mortuary as the investigation into this tragic event continues.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has strongly criticized the plan to raise salaries for politicians in Nigeria. The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is reportedly pushing for a pay increase for political leaders, but Obi questioned both the timing and the reasoning behind it.

In a statement on his official X handle, the former Anambra governor described the move as insensitive and greedy, especially at a time when ordinary Nigerians are facing worsening economic conditions. He called it a shameless attempt by leaders to enrich themselves while the majority continues to struggle.

Obi argued that political office should be about service, not personal gain. He said the RMAFC’s decision to focus on rewarding politicians instead of addressing the needs of neglected public workers, particularly underpaid and overworked police officers, was provocative and scandalous.

Nigerians have voiced strong opposition to plans that would raise the salaries of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and other top officials, sparking widespread debate across the country.

The proposed increase, under review by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), comes as many citizens face economic challenges, including high inflation and rising living costs. RMAFC Chairman Mohammed Shehu argued that the current salaries, unchanged since 2008, do not reflect the growing responsibilities of these political offices. He noted that the President earns ₦1.5 million monthly while ministers make less than ₦1 million, calling these figures “insufficient” given the scope of their duties.

Despite this justification, the move has drawn sharp criticism from the public. Many Nigerians see the proposal as insensitive, highlighting the struggles of ordinary citizens who contend with low wages and difficult living conditions. Labor unions, including the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), have described the pay hike as unfair and mistimed, insisting that government attention should prioritize the welfare of the general population rather than increasing the earnings of leaders already in power.

The debate continues as RMAFC evaluates the salary structure. While some argue that political leaders deserve higher pay for their roles, the prevailing sentiment is that any increase should be postponed until the economic situation improves and the needs of everyday Nigerians are addressed.
