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.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
