RCCG Church in Kontagora Torched by Hoodlums for the Second Time: Calls for Justice Intensify
In the early hours of Saturday, August 10, 2024, unidentified hoodlums set ablaze the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Kontagora, Niger State. This is the second time in ten years that the church has been attacked.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Emir of Kontagora strongly condemned the act, urging swift government action to bring the culprits to justice. Despite the devastation, church members remain resolute, calling for respect for freedom of worship.
Pastor Samson Ogbebor, an assistant pastor at the church, recounted the distressing event, noting that the church had been a target of hostility for years. Despite attempts to rebuild, the church had faced continuous resistance, ultimately leading to this latest arson attack.
Elder John Aboje emphasized the community’s determination to uphold their faith and urged authorities to ensure freedom of worship in the region.
The Emir of Kontagora, Alhaji Muhammadu Barau Mu’azu II, also appealed to the state governor and security agencies to handle the incident with the seriousness it deserves, ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.
The matter has been reported to the Division ‘A’ Police station in Kontagora, and an investigation is underway.
The Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) has alerted Nigerians residing in flood-prone areas to relocate, following the release of water from Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam into River Niger and River Benue.
The release, which began on September 18, 2024, poses flood risks to 11 states, including Adamawa, Kogi, Benue, and Bayelsa.
NIHSA urges individuals to clear drainages and avoid floodplains. This comes days after severe flooding in Borno killed over 30 people.
Israel admitted to initiating a “new era” of war after two consecutive days of explosive attacks targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon.
On Tuesday, pager explosions killed several, including children, and wounded over 2,800. A second wave on Wednesday, involving walkie-talkies and phones, killed at least 20 and injured 450.
One explosion occurred during a Hezbollah funeral, with reports suggesting Hezbollah’s elite Radwan unit was heavily impacted. Israel believes the death toll is higher than officially reported.
In a recent Instagram post, Nigerian entertainment figure Soso Soberekon advised women to focus on men with a clear vision and long-term plans instead of being swayed by physical attributes.
He highlighted that a big penis won’t raise children and encouraged women to seek meaningful relationships with partners who can build a future.
Soberekon’s message stirred a range of reactions online, sparking a lively conversation in the comments.
