Ondo Prophetess Arrested After Woman and Newborn Die from Childbirth Complications at Church
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.
It has been reported that Niger State and some northern states have come together and agreed to take down 979 forests in order to strengthen national security.
This was revealed by the Niger State Governor, represented by his deputy, Yakubu Garba, at the passing-out parade in Mutum Daya.
He also shared that the government will support in any way they can in order to achieve this and strengthen security in Nigeria.
“The state will make necessary arrangements to support and empower the Forest Guard families for their service to the nation. We will provide them with adequate healthcare insurance scheme.”
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
