A bullion van conveying on Thursday, was attacked by gunmen at Ogbor, Nguru, in Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State.
It was gathered that the gunmen double-crossed the van coming from Ahiazu to Owerri and started shooting at it thinking it was loaded and conveying cash.
An eyewitness said the unknown gunmen shot sporadically and the driver of the van with two other persons in the bid to escape at high speed tumbled severally and ran into about four different vehicles packed at the spot where it happened.
It smashed the vehicles as well as destroyed the windows, doors, and windscreens of the vehicles.
Reacting, the Imo state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Micheal Abttam, said: “Sketchy information revealed that the bullion van was returning after delivering money and was attacked by hoodlums. The driver on noticing it tried to escape unfortunately, his vehicle capsized. No money was carted away.”
Fire has destroyed the tomb shelter of the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet Temitope Joshua, in the Agodo area of Ikotun, Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the fire started around 6.30pm on Wednesday.
A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said no one could tell if anybody died in the incident.
He said, “The affected property is on Ajisebiri Street, Agodo. The house started burning around 6.30pm and as I speak with you, fire service officials are trying to put out the fire.
“The compound of the house is big, so nobody can see what they are doing inside. Also, officials putting out the fire didn’t allow anybody inside.”
The Acting Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency, Ibrahim Farinloye, who also confirmed the incident, said the fire had been put out.
He said, “The incident happened at a building belonging to the late pastor. The late pastor usually went there to relax and meditate. Federal fire service officials moved in to put out the fire.”
The Head, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Services, Margaret Adeseye, said the fire affected the shelter covering the late pastor’s tomb.
She said, “It is confirmed that a section around the tomb of the late pastor TB Joshua caught fire. A shelter was built to cover the tomb because it is an open place, so, it was the shelter that caught fire. But we were able to curtail it and it did not spread beyond where it started from. We have yet to identify the cause of the fire.”
It’s not a new story that Funke Ashekun has decided to point at his father’s house with her left hand just like bastards do. I said I was going to follow up on her stories and expose the ill-mannered agenda that she displays on her program. For almost 6 months now she has been recycling same stories that have no base and evidence, we have repeatedly asked her to name victims and provide documents to her claims and none has been made available.
It was a very hilarious moment on Facebook as I stumble upon Zibah blog, discussing Funke Ashekun matter. As one that has written, a couple of articles about this ungrateful lady and her plot to bite the finger that fed her, I quickly pulled up a chair to listen to the Facebook exposition, and couldn’t believe what my ears heard about our holier than thou lady FUNKE ASHEKUN AND HER HUSBAND
HER BACKGROUND
I just found out that her father is in the ogboni confraternity, and the father in-law is a Native doctor, wow, no wonder She has been squealing like a broken record over her imaginary molestation, and people being abused in the toilet of HER FORMER GENERAL OVERSEER.
THE FRAUDSTER AND ADULTERER
After listening to the program that evening, I decided to track one of the callers who gave a stunning revelation ON THE SHOW, to seek more information and really get some facts.
we were told that this woman and her husband has been embezzling church funds, for a long time, to the extent of even building a house from the proceed of their iniquity amidst this the husband on the other hand was basking in the arms of young ladies in the ushering department and the choir department fondling them in other words committing adultery,
find the voice recording of this revelation below:
I have repeatedly asked her just one question, AND SHE IS YET TO ANSWER, and that is, since she has been in that ministry for over two-decades claiming to work with your general overseer, have you ever been with him behind closed doors? has he fingered you? has he ever made any pass at you? if you can name anyone that has any claim to all these allegations kindly provide.
OFFICE STRUCTURE
This woman alleged that the office of the general overseer has different chambers, well, I believe the office description she is giving, must be of her father’s shrine, because the OFFICE OF THAT MAN OF GOD is JUST A WAITING ROOM CALLED THE CORRIDOR AND AN OFFICE THAT HE USES FOR COUNSELLING so please FUNKE stop the nonsense.

“I’m most honoured by this gesture purposed to be in furtherance of similar prayers seeking God’s blessings for my aspiration to lead our country from 2023.

In Christendom, when the name Maureen Badejo is mentioned, what comes to mind is the story of an idle person who has become the devil’s workshop. Indeed, Maureen Badejo has proven to be a full time agent for Satan, making moves to bring down anointed men of God.
An opportunist who found her way to the United Kingdom after wrecking her husband’s business in Nigeria, she does nothing but sit on the internet all day making unthinkable allegations against men of God in Nigeria.
No doubt, she is a well known figure in the kingdom of darkness as she has a history of lying against fathers of faith in the kingdom of light which of course tallies with the mission of the devil to win more people to his kingdom. One of her most pronounced attacks on men of God is that Of Rev DK Olukoya of MFM. She took on the man of God for over a year and as it stands now, she is on the verge of going to jail for defaming the highly revered man of God.
Despite recording several failures to bring down men of God, she seem not to get tired as she just took on the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman. She made several allegations about extra-marital affairs, maltreatment of maid, occultic activities, killing of adopted children, and several others.
Of course, Apostle Suleman is not expected to respond to the allegations of a nonentity as the bible says ‘’Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes’’(Proverb 26:4) but as a follower of Christ and the love for the growth of the gospel, I have taken it upon myself to clarify somethings and let the world know how mentally derailed Maureen Badejo is.
How can a sane person make over 60 defamatory videos on a human being within five months and each video duration is within 3 to 7 hours?
First, Maureen alleged that a domestic staff of the man of God named Amos revealed to her that domestic staff of Apostle Suleman die regularly and mysteriously. If Maureen had a functioning mental system, she should have asked Amos how he survived for 10 years without dying like others as he claims. It’s obvious that was a blatant lie from the pit of hell. If others die often, Amos should also have died long time ago. As a matter of fact, Apostle Suleman has been very kind to his domestic staffers, just recently he gave a house to his cook who has served him for 10 year. Aside that, he also supported Amos, his domestic staff and his elder brother with $40k which they squandered in Dubai withing days.
Secondly, Maureen said Apostle Suleman used one ‘Martha’ to renew his powers and amass congregation to his church. it’s quite funny because taking a look at Apostle Suleman’s ministry, there is no way any diabolical power can keep it running. In Auchi, Apostle Suleman has maintained a record of having the largest congregation for many years, many know how he rose into prominence through God’s help so allegations of using diabolical means is not true. Such statement is coming from desperation to bring down the ever flourishing ministry of the man of God. Aside that, the girl martha came out to debunk the lies that she never had anything sexual with Apostle Suleman. Martha even called live on Maureen Badejo’s show to debunk the story
Thirdly, Maureen Accused Apostle Suleman of having marital affairs with married women in the church, citing Mike David’s wife as a reference to back up the claims. For many who don’t know Mike David, he became popular last year when he accused Apostle of having affairs with his wife. It was discovered that his allegation was made out of bitterness and at the end of the day, he had to apologize for making such an allegation because it’s not the truth.
It’s unfortunate that Maureen Badejo has amassed to herself gullible followers who are just like her, wanting to pull down men of God if not, people like her would have been recommended for appointment at a Psychiatric hospital as it’s obvious someone in a right state of mind wouldn’t dare make the allegations.
We are in the last days and it’s normal to see agent of satan unleash their terror on men of God but at the end of the day, light will overcome darkness.
