IGP MUST HEAR THIS: DRUNKEN POLICEMAN OPENED FIRE ON YOUTHS IN LAGOS !!!

It was learnt that no fewer than four persons were said to have sustained gun injuries after a drunken policeman, Corporal Emmanuel Ubi, reportedly opened fire on some youths during a carnival at Edumare Squad, Lagos Island. 

The names of the victims were given as Yusuf Abdullahi, 17; Lekan Bamgbala, 26; Deji Bamgbala, 18, and an unnamed youth. 

A resident and eyewitness, Tunde Ajayi said, the Divisional Police Officer of the Adeniji Adele Police Station, had stormed the area to stop the carnival; and  “all of a sudden, the policeman started shooting at us. When we eventually caught him, we noticed he was under the influence of alcohol. 

“The policeman and the other victims were taken to the Marina General Hospital on Lagos Island.
“It was the DPO who later came to plead with the elders in the community before the gun seized from him was released.” 
In a visit to the hospital on Saturday, our correspondent met Abdullahi and his father. 

Abdullahi said, “I am still feeling the pain though not as much as it was few days ago.” 
The father, Jimoh, said he was going to buy another prescribed drugs to reduce the pain of the boy’s injury. 
He said, “I am a transporter. I was on duty that fateful day when I received a call that my son was in a coma. 

“Thank God that the bullet didn’t break his bone according to what the doctor told us. He is likely to be discharged on Monday (today). 
“The DPO had come to visit him and he gave us N25,000. He also assured us that the policeman would be sanctioned as soon as he is healthy.” 

 Lekan, who residence on Tapa Street, said, “My wife, son, Deji and I were at the event. There were about three different parties going on in that venue and everybody was catching fun. 

“We just heard gunshots and the whole place was thrown into confusion. It was in the process that I was shot and my brother, while trying to rescue me, was also hit. We feel better now. The DPO gave us N15,000.” 

The Lagos State Police spokesperson, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident, and said, “Our men got an intelligence report that a party was being held on the Island and that hoodlums might cash in on it to cause mayhem.
“A corporal, Emmanuel Ubi, shot at the crowd and about four of them were injured. Only one of them is left in the hospital and he will be discharged very soon. The officer was also seriously beaten by a mob. 

“We regard the act (shooting) as unprofessional and we have commenced a disciplinary action on him. 
 “As soon as he is discharged from the hospital, our decision will be made known.

ACTRESS BIOLA ADEBAYO 2-YEAR ENGAGEMENT TO LONDON LOVER CRASHED....

 In an interview this week, Actress Biola Adebayo says she called off her 2-year engagement to her ex due to some personal reasons which had to do with blood related issue!

"Well I had someone who I was engaged to in 2012. We were not legally married. We were supposed to marry last year but all of a sudden, something happened and the wedding couldn't happen. He is such a great guy that every woman would pray to have. Things just didn't work out because you as a guy, you want to get married to a lady and you just found out that the 2 of you share the same genotype in this modern day? I am not saying that is the exact thing that happened to us but something similar and because of that we let go. We did engagement and people knew about it so how do you expect me to tell them now that the relationship crashed? I don't want such stories and that was why I kept it to myself. Whatever that is not yours, you just have to let go"

GULLIBLE WORSHIPERS: ...AS THEY ASKED TO PAY N1K TO ATTEND NEW YEAR'S EVE SERVICE...

It was learnt that worshippers @ the headquarters of Christ Embassy Church ‎in Lagos had to pay N1,000 each as gate fee to attend a New Year’s Eve service presided over their Pastor Chris Oyakhilome !

  The infuriated worshippers who wanted to attend the crossover service at Christ Embassy’s headquarters on Billings ‎Way in Oregun Area of Lagos on 31 December, 2014, were made to obtain gate passes that sold for N1,000 each and those who could not afford such passes were turned back and told that they could go elsewhere to worship or watch the service online for free!
While the practice ‎is not new in Christ Embassy Church, it led to an uproar in January 2011 after it was first introduced on 31 December, 2010.

Many people described it then as extortion, abuse of ‘Jesus’ teachings and another confirmation that some Nigerian churches and pastors are more interested in making money than winning souls for God.

With a sitting capacity of roughly 20,000 seats, Christ Embassy might have made at least N20 million from the sale of gate passes used for the crossover service.

While virtually all prosperity churches in Nigeria apply the principles of “giving ‎to the church to receive from God”, many say the level of financial demands and pressures in Christ Embassy Church is unusually high.

Many Nigerians expressed their indignation on the social media, especially Facebook.
‎”Gate fee collection appears good for crowd control in a theatre or secular concert, but not sound enough in the house of God where Christ the head of the church bids everyone to come, even when they only respond once in a year,” ‎ eye witness said
He said the church should rather see their once in a year response as an opportunity to reach out to the loss (non regular attendees) and make disciple of them as Christ commanded.

“Even if the church prefers his already saved members to partake in a particular service, gate pass should have been given to them at no cost and they will have the privilege of going in first.

“The crowd control rationale for gate fee collection in church in my opinion is world based,” he said.
According to ‎eye witness report, salvation doesn’t come at a cost.
He said in the Bible, a man who wanted to pay for salvation was refused.
 Nigerian worshippers are gullible. “Did God come down through him (the pastor) that day?,” he asked.

“I have watched the man preach severally and I don’t know the magic in his sermon and anointing that keeps making people fall for his tricks and gimmicks.
“He quotes one Bible reference and shouts as if he just revealed what no man had ever read or seen in that passage before and then takes a run front and back and they all starts shouting. Just disgusting most times,” he said.

To Clement Ali, “‎does it mean if I don’t have N1000, I won’t be allowed into the service?
In that case, his intentions is the money.”
“Let them continue to pile up riches for themselves here on earth where moths will eat up and where thieves will break through,” eye witness said.

He added: “SALVATION IS FREE and cannot be bought with money. Jesus said, freely l gave you, so also, freely ye shall give.”
According to another eye witness some people are born spiritually blind, deaf and dumb.
“However you preach to them they will never hear and understand,” she said.
I could not believe that gate fees were collected at Christ Embassy Church on 31 December. “Somebody should please tell me this is not true. If it is true it means corruption is now everywhere,” eye witness said.

Another Eye witness asked sarcastically; ‎”Are you people just realising now that most of these so called Men of God are con men? People have been paying for prayers, so why can’t they pay for venue?”
 “‎Why are we going to blame a business name for doing his business, he is business man not a Pastor for real‎”.
