Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has expressed confidence that Nigeria will overcome its insecurity challenges, saying “the church will laugh last”.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

Adeboye spoke on Sunday during a sermon titled ‘The Master Builder’ at the church’s monthly thanksgiving service.

The cleric urged Christians and Nigerians to remain calm, assuring them that “evil will not prevail” despite the surge in violent attacks across the country.

Addressing worshippers during a broadcast, Adeboye said Nigeria’s security challenges underscore the truth that only God builds and protects His church.

He said regardless of pressure, threats, or intimidation faced by Christian communities, divine protection remains assured.

Adeboye added that God’s authority surpasses every human or demonic power.

His remarks come amid repeated attacks on churches in recent years, including kidnappings, shootings, and other violent assaults.

The incidents have left many worshippers injured, displaced, or killed, fuelling fear and renewed calls for improved security.

Despite the challenges, Adeboye said believers must not give in to fear.

“When God opens a door, nobody can shut it. And when God shuts a door, nobody can open it. So I have good news for you, my children. Put your mind at rest. The gates of hell shall not prevail. Whether the devil likes it or not, the church is going to laugh last,” he said.

Adeboye said God’s role as “the Master Builder” guarantees the church’s survival and growth, adding that the scripture has already assured victory for Nigeria and its people.

Popular Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, known as 2Baba, and his wife, Natasha Idibia, are reportedly facing a legal battle with their landlord over unpaid rent on their residence.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

Naija News reports that the property is a 5-bedroom semi-detached duplex with a room boy’s quarters (BQ) located at No. 27 Edwin Clerk Crescent, Guzape, Abuja FCT.

The development follows earlier claims by Natasha that the house was a gift from her grandfather to her and her husband.

That claim had led many to believe the couple owned the property.

Fresh information now making the rounds shows that the Idibias do not own the house but are renting an apartment.

Documents purportedly from the court indicate that the property belongs to a landlord who is dissatisfied with the situation.

According to the reports, the landlord has approached the court to seek approval to remove the couple from the property.

The move is said to be linked to alleged rent arrears that have not been settled.

The document read in part: “It is our brief that our client facilitated the process of you renting the 5 (Five) bedroom semi-detached duplex with a room boy’s quarters situate at No 27 Edwin clerk crescent Guzape, Abuja F.C.T.

“However, after securing the possession of the property for 2 years by paying the sum of ₦40,000,000 (Forty million naira) upfront with an agreement to pay the second ₦40,000,000 (Forty million naira) on or before the end of December 2025 which is the rental value of the property, you have refused to pay our client his Proffessional fees which sums up to ₦7,000,000 (Seven million naira) respectively.

“After several demands from our client, you went on to issue a dud cheque that was returned unpaid which we understand you are well aware of the implications.

“We are surprised and also try to fathom why a person like such with a wonderful personality will withhold the means of livelihood of a firm that has employees who depend on them by not paying Proffessional fees accrued to them for a service well rendered to you which we believe the service was rendered for therefore, it is our demand that you pay to our client the sum of ₦7,000,000 (Seven million naira) being his Proffessional fees for the services rendered to you in facilitating the process of your tenancy.

“We will be offering an olive branch for the period of 7(Seven) days for the sum to be paid to our client and therein after we won’t hesitate to take proper legal action to recover the Proffessional fees of our client.”

Six days after a Nigerian Air Force C-130 aircraft made a precautionary landing in Burkina Faso, the 11 military personnel on board remain in detention as diplomatic efforts intensify to resolve the standoff.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING

The soldiers and the aircraft were seized by Burkina Faso’s military government over alleged violations of the country’s airspace.

On Tuesday, the Burkina Faso government said a Nigerian Air Force aircraft carrying 11 soldiers was forced to land after reportedly violating its airspace.

The disclosure was reported by Agence d’Information du Burkina, the state-run news agency, which published a statement from the Confederation of Sahel States (AES).

The statement said an investigation by Burkinabe authorities “highlighted the absence of authorisation to fly over the territory of Burkina Faso for this military device”.

The AES condemned the incident as a violation of sovereignty, saying it “condemns with the utmost firmness this violation of its airspace and the sovereignty of its member States”.

Reacting, the Nigerian Air Force said personnel on board the aircraft were safe and receiving cordial treatment from Burkinabe authorities.

The aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal when it made a precautionary landing in Bobo-Dioulasso after the crew detected a technical concern shortly after takeoff from Lagos on December 8, 2025.

In a statement on Tuesday, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force, said the crew diverted to the nearest airfield in line with standard safety procedures and international aviation protocols.

The federal government has since commenced diplomatic engagements to secure the release of the soldiers and the aircraft.

Kimiebi Ebienfa, spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs, said the Nigerian embassy in Ouagadougou was engaging host authorities to resolve the matter.

“The Embassy of Nigeria in Ouagadougou is engaging with the host authorities to secure their release,” Ebienfa said.
