Nigerian Gay PASTOR GOES TO JAIL

The Founder and General Overseer of a Pentecostal Church in Benin City, Pastor Phillip Ogbebor is now an unusual inmate at the federal medium security prison, Oko after  a magistrate court ordered that he be remanded for having sex with male members of his Church. Surprisingly, the randy pastor of Breakthrough Ministries, Owina Street, off  Sakponba road  Benin city, neither denied the allegation of homosexuality levelled against him by the parents of one of his victims nor blamed the devil as many culprits will do. Instead, he told Saturday Sun that “I am only passing through temptation. I only did it four times with the man who is 22 years old and a regular member of my church. I can’t claim that  it was the devil’s influence , let God decide my case.” The Commissioner of  Police, Mr  Foluso  Ayodeji  Adebanjo told Saturday Sun that  the Pastor  was apprehended recently by men of the State Criminal Investigation Department of the Edo state police command following a complaint lodged by the father of one of his victims. Trouble started when the victim who had been put under an oath of secrecy by the pastor decided to report his ordeal to  his parents who in turn decided to inform the police. The victim  who  doesn’t want his name in print told Saturday Sun that  he  has been unduly harassed by  Pastor Ogbebor since 2007 when he was only fifteen years old and that he made him to take several oaths of secrecy in order not to reveal the secret to anybody. He further said that the suspect  threatened to kill him if he disclosed the act to anyone. According to him, “each time, I told him it is painful  and  that I don’t want to  do it again. I told him I will tell my parents but he forced me to take oath saying if I ever tell anyone  I will not live  to see the next day” He furthered revealed how  Ogbebor mixed olive oil  with  sand and robbed it on his head while chanting incantations in an unusual language and casting  spells on him, with an emphasis on the fact that if he tells anybody he would die like a fowl. He said to buttress his threat  he gave him the liver and gizzard of chicken to eat saying these acts were usually performed at 12.00 midnight under the guise of a night vigil. The victim who said he is  a regular member of  Pastor Ogbebor’s church said he  was disturbed by his deteriorating health and was forced to narrate his ordeal to  another pastor. He said the man of God  advised him to report the bad conduct of Pastor Ogbebor before the congregation which he did  but Ogbebor was said to have denied it before the congregation. After the confession by  the victim to the congregation, his father who is also a member of the church promptly confronted Pastor Ogbebor on the matter  and  as the issue was degenerating  into rowdiness in the church,  Pastor Ogbebor was said to have confessed to the crime and pledged to take the victim who has been battling with spiritual and health challenges  to the hospital for medical treatment. It was at that stage that the father of the victim who was in shock over the development  reported the matter to the police for proper investigation. Speaking to Saturday Sun, the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mr Foluso  Ayodeji  Adebanjo  commended  the  SCID Benin under the leadership of  Deputy Commissioner of Police J. Ibim  for a good job done. He sai d the suspect will soon be charged to court after the completion of investigation. The police boss had about three weeks ago paraded Pastor Ogbebor along with 25 other crime suspects at the command headquarters, Benin city. Saturday Sun however gathered that the 42 year old randy pastor has been arraigned before a Magistrate court in Benin city on a  charge bordering on  indecent assault contrary to Sections 214(1) and 353 of the constitution respectively. The Magistrate was said to have ordered his detention at the Oko medium security prison in the state capital pending the commencement of trial. culled from sunnewsonline

Nigerian Police uncovers Kidnappers’ Spiritual Home In Delta State

The escape of a Nigerian female kidnap victim from the kidnappers’ den has led to the discovery of a shrine where inter-state kidnappers and armed robbers take their victims to hypnotize. The shrine which is located in a forest in Oduke, a neighborhood of Okwe community in Asaba, capital of Delta state, is presided over by a fake prophet and his wife, also suspected to be members of the kidnapping/armed robbery syndicate.

According to her, she had flagged down a taxi occupied by the driver and three passengers including a man and two women and told the driver that she was going to Nnewi. She claimed that the driver reversed the vehicle and headed towards the River Niger Bridge, instead of going to Nnewi, following which she said they threatened to shoot her if she raised alarm. A gun was pointed on her head. According to her, she was initially taken to the operational base of the hoodlums in Oduke area of Asaba before she was taken to the shrine which had the paraphernalia of a Christian worship centre. Mrs. Ojukwu said the prophet in-charge of the shrine forced her to drink concoction which made her to be unconscious, adding that as at the time regained consciousness, her N.6 million and gold jewelries valued at N1.8 million were gone. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ojukwu has taken ill, following a strange ailment she incurred after allegedly drinking the concoction at the shrine. “I have gone to several hospitals to seek solution to this ailment that is making me to cough to no avail,” she said, adding doctors were yet to diagnose the strange ailment for possible remedy. Delta state police command Public Relations Officer, ASP Lucky Uyabeme, who confirmed the report, said some of the suspects have been arrested from their hide out. He said the woman was rushed to a hospital where doctors confirmed that she was suffering as a result of the concoction she drank, adding that the victim was still undergoing medical examination. According to the police spokesman Uyabeme, the prophet who forcefully administered the concoction on the victim scaled the fence when he sighted the police and had since gone underground.

Senior Colonel Kang Honglin disclosed this at a reception to mark the 86th anniversary of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) in Abuja. Honglin, who said most of the PLA peacekeepers are deployed in Africa, said China is the biggest troop contributor among the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. “For years, PLA provides Nigerian military personnel with opportunities to participate in training courses at different levels in China. There is also significant collaboration in defence products. For instance, F-7 Fighter Squadron has become the backbone of Nigerian Air Force. One ammunition production line has been established at DICON, with the assistance of China, which will upgrade Nigerian indigenous defence industry,” he said. He noted that the construction work of Nigerian Navy’s Offshore patrol vessels is ongoing in China and the first ship would be delivered next year. “We believe that these fruits of collaboration could effectively help Nigerian military to strengthen its capacity and capability in safeguarding peace and maintaining stability in Nigeria and in the region,” he said.

HAPPY NEW MOnth!!!

We Made it!!!! The year is gradually coming to an end............ Am sure some are already taking stock and are really happy with how much they'v achieved for the year,while some it has not been really good, they just wish the year could take it slow abit. Well,if you are among this category...there is no need to worry(worry hasn't solve any problem anyway),all hope is not lost yet as long as you are alive. So here goes… try and do something different like taking a break…….yea!!!! I know u probably thinking am crazy right? Now don’t get me wrong, what I meant is taking a break from all those worries and depressive mood u constantly put yourself in. if you are either your own boss or working for someone, take some days off or maybe have a weekend all to yourself. I mean a special weekend, you can travel to a nearby city or check into a nice cozy hotel and have fun!!!!!!!!!!!! Now this is not the time to start thinking about your life, how you such a loser or trying to compere yourself to your friends or anyone else. Rather it’s a time to have a constructive thought about you, what you do, what you want and ways to achieve that, at this juncture is where you have a mindset reset, try viewing things from other angle and perspectives, think of ways to improve what you doing e.g job, business, or relationship. The point is trying to achieve your goals using some other approach rather than sticking to doing the same thing the same way everyday of the month- now that is depressing. So my dear, it doesn’t matter if you are not there yet, keep believing……………..you’ve come too far to give all that up, Just because it hasn't happened for you yet doesn't mean it never will. You just have to keep fighting until it's your turn to receive God's immense blessings. maybe all it requires is just one more try, your breakthrough might just be a stone-throw-away. So, it’s a new month!!!!! Celebrate, be happy and try something new
