Yoruba Nation: At Last, Autopsy Report Reveals What Killed 25-year-old Drink Seller
The cause of death for 25-year-old Jumoke Oyeleke, who was hit by a stray bullet during the Yoruba Nation rally in Lagos, has been revealed.
The young girl’s cause of death was revealed in an autopsy report obtained by SaharaReporters.
According to the autopsy signed by Dr SS Soyemi of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Jumoke’s death was caused by “Haemopericardium, disruption of the heart and lungs and missile injury to the chest.”
Hemopericardium refers to blood in the pericardial sac of the heart. It is clinically similar to a pericardial effusion, and, depending on the volume and rapidity with which it develops, may cause cardiac tamponade.
Society gazette recalls that security operatives while dispersing Yoruba Nation agitators at Ojota reportedly killed the yoghurt seller.
She was reportedly displaying drinks at a shop when a stray bullet hit her and severed her stomach. Her body was covered with a piece of cloth as a crowd gathered at the spot.
In a swift response, the Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police Force denied responsibility for the death of the 25-year-old female hawker.
The Police in a reaction after the news of the girl’s death went viral said its operatives present at the scene of the planned rally didn’t fire any live bullet.
According to the police, the corpse has been discovered not to be fresh after investigations.
The police added that the girl might have died from wounds sustained from a sharp object injury.
But the Lagos state government, not satisfied with the police statement, ordered an investigation into the death of the young girl.
Real Reason Why Bishop Oyedepo Sacked Over 40 Pastors Emerges
Details have emerged on why Bishop David Oyedepo’s Living Faith Church International, popularly known as Winners Chapel, sacked over 40 pastors.
Society gazette recalls Peter Godwin, who claimed to be a former pastor of the church, had alleged that he was sacked for failing to make enough money.
According to Godwin, he was employed on the 28th of August, 2020.
According to the former pastor, he alongside forty of his colleagues were invited by the state pastor on July 1, 2021, and were all sacked over low income in their branches.
But speaking to Vanguard, a senior pastor close to the helm of affairs in the church who does not want his name mentioned revealed that the pastors sacked were pastoring rural churches which depend so much on the headquarters for funding rather than bringing in money into the church’s purse.
He said: “The Living Faith Church had the vision in the year 2019 to open 10,000 rural churches nationwide.
“By the close of the year 2020, over 80 per cent of these cottage churches had been built following a prototype designed and constructed by the church professionals. Then came the human factor.
“Ordinarily, pastoring in Winners Chapel had followed a pattern of training and discipleship since its foundation 40 years ago. However, in view of the massive recruitment to take charge of the new 10,000 churches, many who were neither spiritually nor morally prepared found their way into positions of authority as Pastors-in-charge.”
The source added that with good foresight, the church headquarters appointed seasoned pastors as Mission Inspectors to regularly visit, ministers and monitor these rural churches.
“A lot of the inspectors’ reports were damaging with ungodly acts such as abuse of grace, outright deceit, absconding from church while working full-time elsewhere etc.
“Ab initio, rural churches were never intended to be money spinners; rather, they are money guzzlers because the main church solely built, equipped and maintained both the church and its pastors-in- charge,” the pastor said.
He said the story in circulation about these churches not making sufficient income was therefore patently false and misleading.
Olympics: Officials Install Cardboard Beds To Discourage Athletes From Having Sex
Officials are looking to discourage Athletes from engaging in sexual activity at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as they installed cardboard beds in the Olympic village.
According to Dezeen magazine, Olympic officials who already warned 2021 Games participants to avoid two-person push-ups because of the coronavirus, set up 18,000 of the cardboard beds in the notoriously sex-crazed athletes’ village.
“Those beds can stand up to 200 kilograms,” Takashi Kitajima, the general manager of the Athletes Village, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. Kitajima further added that a “wild celebration” such as an athlete bagging a gold could perhaps be bad news for the bed. “Of course, wood and cardboard would each break if you jumped on them,” he said.
“Beds to be installed in Tokyo Olympic Village will be made of cardboard, this is aimed at avoiding intimacy among athletes,” American distance runner Paul Chelimo tweeted.

Pastor’s Sack: Winners’ Chapel Is Right – Reno Omokri
Winners’ Chapel is currently receiving backlash and condemnation amid the trending video released by a man that identify himself as a pastor in the ranks of the Living Faith Church popularly known as Winners’ Chapel, who claimed he was sacked because he’s not generating money for the church and this has led to the usual antagonists of Bishop Oyedepo like self acclaimed online preacher Daddy Freeze to weigh in his strong criticism.
While all these are going on popular author and opinion leader has lend his voice to the issue through a post on his Instagram handle @renoomokri where he defended the position of the leader of Winners’ Chapel on the sack.
The statement according to Omokri reads; “I read the letter from Winners’ Chapel and it did not mention anything about money. Rather, it used the word “church growth”. Christ called us to engage in evangelism-Matthew 28:18-20. Any pastor that fails at that core duty should be sacked. This is what Christ told us in Matthew 25:14-29.
Bishop Oyedepo of Winner’s Chapel
“The sacked pastor who went to the press after releasing a live video is playing on your emotions. He is not considering that he is undermining the faith of believers.
“In John 15:16, Christ said “I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit.” Now, ask yourself what the consequence of not bearing fruit is. Christ answered that question in John 15:2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away”.
“This is why the only thing Christ ever cursed in His lifetime on Earth is the fig tree that bore no fruit-Mark 11:14.
“Winners Chapel is in order.” The bestselling author concluded.
Eid-el-Kabir: Speaker Obasa pleads with Nigerians to let peace reign
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has urged Nigerians to see peace as one of the major ingredients for democracy to thrive.
Obasa made this known in his Eid-el-Kabir message to Nigerians including residents of Lagos and politicians in the state, which is preparing for local government elections.
Obasa, who noted that the yearnings of many well-meaning Nigerians were justified, however, added that going about such demands and requests through violent means would not help the citizens and the country.
“We complain about a dwindling economy today, but the truth is that restiveness, banditry, terrorism, kidnappings and general insecurity are some of the major causes.
“It is not difficult to know that no nation can thrive or succeed when it is violence-ridden.
“Just as citizens must begin to live in peace and neighbourliness, we, as leaders, must also not nap, we must not sleep on ideas to make the country great.
“We must show perfect examples of love for country and sacrifice to humanity as Islam teaches.
“In Lagos, we have remained a good example of a working democracy thanks to our hardworking leaders and faithful residents.
“Like I said earlier ahead of the local government council elections, it is very important that all parties shun violence. We must eschew violence; it is not going to do any of us any good and it is not going to do any party any good also.
“We must allow people of the state to decide and choose leaders that will serve their interests for the next four years. So, we must all come together to condemn anything that has to do with violence.
“We must do that, it is important because anything can become the outcome of violent actions. We don’t want that to happen,” the speaker said as he congratulated Muslims in the country for witnessing another holy celebration.

Clean Smelly Lagos Gutters, Stop Making Noise – Deji Adeyanju Attacks Joe Igbokwe
The convener of the Concerned Nigerians movement, Deji Adeyanju, has condemned the Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Joe Igbokwe.
The activist charged the APC chieftain to clean smelly gutters in Lagos State rather than make noise on social media.
Recall that Igbokwe recently celebrated the rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
According to Igbokwe, the IPOB leader once asked IPOB members to kill him and his family members.
The governor’s aide also condemned Kanu’s style of agitation, stressing that the IPOB leader never witnessed the Biafra civil.
He added that President Muhammadu Buhari-led government has enough evidence to convict the embattled IPOB leader.
Adeyanju in a tweet wrote: “Joe Igbokwe who should be busy cleaning smelly gutters in Lagos is still on Facebook making noise.”
