The Lagos State House of Assembly warms up to ensure justice for the killed Owode-Onirin spare parts traders, which caused a massive protest by colleagues and the Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights (CHSR) at the Assembly gate yesterday.

Kehinde Joseph, Alomosho 2, gave the assurance on behalf of the Assembly. Led by CHSR president, Alex Omotehinse, the group petitioned the Lagos Assembly, urging it to take immediate action on the massacre of six traders at the Owode-Onirin Motor Spare Parts Market on August 27, 2025.

A notorious land grabber, Abiodun Hakeem Ariori, who had allegedly been terrorizing the people, was accused of inviting four policemen from the Nasarawa State Police Command to attack the market.

Human rights advocate, Jake Epelle, has expressed concern over the recent sack of commissioners by Governor Siminalayi Fubara, following his return to office after the lifting of the emergency rule in Rivers State.

Speaking during an interview with News Central TV from 3.54, Epelle said the decision to remove the commissioners carried deeper political meaning and may not be as simple as it appears. He explained that while the governor has the right to hire and fire, the situation seems to involve hidden influences.
“There may be hands that we can see, but the voice we hear is the voice of Jacob, while the hands look like the hands of Esau,” Epelle said, suggesting that someone else might be influencing the governor’s decision behind the scenes.

Epelle noted that he felt sympathy for the affected commissioners, describing them as loyal individuals who stood by Fubara during difficult times. “The people that have been sacked, I feel for them because these are people that supported him and were there for him,” he said.

Security Analyst Salisu Dantata has raised serious concerns about the deteriorating safety situation in Nigeria’s capital, highlighting specific locations where criminal activities have become alarmingly prevalent.

Speaking during an interview on Arise News from 7:08, Dantata drew attention to the dangerous conditions around Sheikh Mahmud Gumi College in Abuja, describing it as a hotspot for criminal activity that poses significant risks to residents and commuters.
The security expert specifically pointed to the area near the college, which is located opposite a police secondary school, revealing that it has become a haven for individuals engaged in criminal activities. He particularly mentioned the gardens surrounding the institution as problematic zones.

“Go to Sheikh Mahmud Gumi College, opposite the police secondary school. By the left, the whole of the gardens there. There are people that have no business being there,” Dantata stated, emphasizing that the presence of suspicious individuals has created an unsafe environment, especially during nighttime hours.

The analyst painted a troubling picture of the situation, revealing that by 11:00 PM, the area becomes extremely dangerous for motorists. He warned that criminals operating in the vicinity routinely target drivers stopped at traffic lights, with phone snatching being a common occurrence.

“Sometimes around 11:00, you cannot pass there. They will take your phone when you stop for traffic,” Dantata warned, underscoring the brazenness of criminal elements in the area.

The revelation is particularly concerning given the location’s proximity to a police secondary school, raising serious questions about security enforcement and the effectiveness of law enforcement presence in deterring criminal activities in the nation’s capital.

THE GREATEST REVELATIONS:

You Are A God

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 10:34-36;

Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the mist High.

82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Manifestations of a god: Every Christian is a revived god. He has direct access to the Almighty God because he knows his God, and his God knows him. He is led in the Spirit, he does not operate in the flesh. As he believes and lives according to the written words from the scriptures, it becomes easier for him to hear when God speaks to him. He takes dominion over every situation around him.

Unbelievers have denied themselves, therefore they cannot reach out to our God. In their bid to get problems solved, they surrender their lives to idols, and search for gods in in idols that are lifeless. In their confusion, they serve consult demons. You are a god they can see, if live in the spirit.
Read: Daniel 4:7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
4:8 But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,
4:9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

They did not understand that Daniel was a god, instead, they described him as a master of the magicians, who has the spirit of the holy gods.

Brethren, today I pray that the Lord shall open your inner understanding, to know whom are, and start operating in that level in Jesus's name.
Stay blessed.
