 The disciples are alleged to have engaged financial fraud and diversion of the church’s funds.

Some disciples of the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) Prophet TB Joshua have been invited for questioning by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
 
The disciples are alleged to have engaged in financial fraud and diversion of the church’s funds.
 
It was gathered that the anti-graft agency invited the disciples who included Nigerian and foreign prophets and prophetesses of the church.
 
A letter released by the commission has directed the church to release the disciples for an interview through the Special Investigation Team (STI).
 
The Commander of EFCC in Lagos State, Ahmed Ghali, in the letter, said the disciples are being questioned for allegedly syphoning funds and breaking of the church’s vault.
 
The disciples reportedly invited by the Commission include Obasa Damilola Tinuola, Obasa Folake, Mosun Adeloju, Yakubu Abeni, Omoitoh Omoye, Adebola Olamide Morenike, Bousso Racine, Eugune Rademeyer, Cindy Elizabeth Widjaja, Fanny Elma Alfred, Angela Marie Brandt, Graham Nadine, Tonge Christopher, Catherine Ann Farr, Enrique Miguel, Olayinka Deborah Egbejobi, Mari-Anne Uchechi Ibe, David Omojevbe Joseph, Tonge Ruth, Polo Sandoval Allison.
 
A source who spoke with The Guardian on the incident, disclosed that the disciples who are close to the late prophet allegedly emptied a vault located in the church and also put up his private aircraft for sale.
 
“They have carried out huge fraud that has made many of them multi-millionaires since Baba’s death. Many of them are on the list of EFCC. They are up to 20. They seized the church immediately after the Prophet died in June and didn’t want his wife, Mrs Evelyn Joshua, to be part of the church. They have made themselves Overseers. They have established a governing council with some living in the prayer mountains. They went to the vault at night and used a Ghana-Must-Go bag to loot money. They also went to open the Emmanuel global network where they asked international partners to donate without the knowledge of Evelyn.”
 
The source added that the contact information on four of the late T.B Joshua’s mobile phones was wiped off weeks after his death.
 
“T.B Joshua’s phones were seized by some disciples for some time and when Mama was asking for his phones and it became an issue they returned the phones to Evelyn and wiped out both the memory and contacts in the phone. They had worked with Baba over the years and they are Prophet and Prophetess and people who travelled a lot with Baba before his death. Some of them are 50 years of age and some were asked to go in the past.”
 
Meanwhile, the wife of the late founder of SCOAN, Evelyn has been appointed as the leader of the church.

Late Prophet TB Joshua is still the General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of all Nations, his wife Evelyn Joshua has stated.
 
She said this while addressing the public for the first time since being named the new leader of the church.
 
The church had announced her as new leader on Saturday after a Federal High Court in Lagos appointed her as chairperson of the church’s board of trustees.
 
Evelyn made a rallying call to the church members and partners in a video posted to Twitter on Monday.
 
In an apparent effort to appease aggrieved persons, she declared that her late husband Prophet TB Joshua remains the founder and general overseer of the church.
 
She said, “I am pleased to address you at this moment upon my appointment as the leader of the SCOAN.

“To all our members, partners, friends, and compatriots of faith, I say Good morning and win today. It has been three months since the glorious home call of our dear father, founder and General overseer, Senior Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, which occurred on June 5, 2021.
 
“These past three months have surely been challenging but we thank you all for remaining strong and for keeping the faith as we have been trained, built, instructed, and taught by God’s servant himself that trails are the soil upon which faith flourishes. We salute your faith.

“Today, like always, is a new dawn in the SCOAN. As we all know Prophet TB Joshua fought his good fight of the kingdom and finished strong to the glory of God. We have now commenced the journey from where our father left the baton.

“He had already prepared us all for this new phase and we must rise up to the occasion as a team under the command of God and the direction of the Holy Spirit.

“This journey is for us all. The SCOAN cannot be without you, all the members, partners and friends of the ministry.

“So, this now serves as a clarion call for you to rise as an army of God as we push this great commission forward.
 
“I am not your general overseer. My dear husband and our dear father, the prophet for generations, senior Prophet TB Joshua remains the founder and general overseer of the SCOAN.”
 
The leadership of the church had on Sunday said no one is being victimised or detained over the ongoing audit.

Chimaroke Nnamani

The Senator representing Enugu East, Chimaroke Nnamani has lamented about the IPOB sit-at-home order observed in southeast states on Mondays, stating that it is against the interest of Igbos.

The Former Governor of Enugu state in a statement released on Sunday September 12, said IPOB’s order has negatively affected the economy and social life in the south-east.

Nnamani stated that in the struggle for equity and justice in the Nigerian federation, Igbos cannot inadvertently inflict more injuries on themselves with the sit-at-home order.

The statement read;

"The Igbo character is defined by hard work, and that the sit-at-home order is antithetical to this trait and a betrayal of Igbo interest.

“Most of our people live on daily income. Think of the market women who depend on daily earnings to feed their families. Think of students writing external examinations being denied access to the venues. How does enslaving our people, denial of means of livelihood, add value to our quest for equity and justice?

“If others reject us, should we also reject ourselves?

“It stands to reason that this sit-at-home cannot be a way forward. We cannot abandon ourselves.

“In our struggle for equity and justice in the Nigerian federation, we cannot inadvertently inflict more injuries on ourselves by this sit-at-home order.”

 The implementation of 7.5 per cent tax on imported Liquefied Petroleum Gas has resulted in more suffering for Nigerians.


cooking gas
Cooking gas
 
Nigerians will spend more money on cooking gas after the federal government went ahead to implement a 7.5 per cent tax on imported Liquefied Petroleum Gas, popularly called cooking gas.
 
As a result, the cost of the commodity leapt by over 100 per cent within a period of eight months.
 
According to Punch, it was gathered on Sunday that the government implemented the VAT on LPG imports about three weeks ago and some dealers were also mandated to pay the tax for commodities imported several months ago.
 
Operators told Punch that Nigeria imports about 70 per cent of the commodity, while the rest was mainly supplied by the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas company.
 
It was also gathered that the cost of a 12.5kg of cooking gas that sold for about N3,500 in December 2020 had jumped to as high as N6,800 in parts of Abuja.
 
A resident along the Lagos-Ibadan road said she bought the commodity on Sunday at N7,200 in Lagos, as dealers projected that the cost might hit N10,000 in December this year.
 
Operators stated the development had made small businesses and homes in rural and semi-urban areas to revert to firewood and charcoal, as the purchase of cooking gas had plunged in recent months.
 
The National Chairman, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Retailers Association of Nigeria, Michael Umudu, said there were three factors that caused the surge in price.
 
He said, “There are three major factors to the hike in prices. Firstly, about 70 per cent of the gas we consume in Nigeria is imported and importers have to contend with the high cost of foreign exchange.

“Secondly, there is a rise in the price of petroleum products in the international market and because of that, the cost of LPG has equally gone up. So importers now pay more on imports.

“And thirdly, the government added VAT on imported LPG about three weeks ago. It (VAT) was 7.5 per cent of the cost of the commodity and this exacerbated the price hike of cooking gas in the past three weeks.”
 
Umudu stated that before the introduction of VAT, foreign exchange and cost of petroleum products in the international market had been the factors causing the rise in price.
 
“Around November/December last year, 12.5kg was sold at about N3,500, but in July it went up to around N5,500 and when VAT was introduced about three weeks ago, it now escalated to about N6,500 and above,” he stated.
 
Umudu added, “The price hike seems to be happening on a daily basis and nobody can tell when it will stop. There has been a lot of appeal to the government to find a way of persuading NLNG to increase its domestic supply so that the product can be affordable.

“NLNG supplies about 35 per cent of the gas we consume locally and that percentage is not adequate. And the gas sold by NLNG is even sold at international price and is priced in dollar not naira.”
 
On the cost of the commodity in metric tonnes, Umudu, replied, “20MT is now in the average of about N8m. And before VAT was introduced, the price of 20MT was around N6.8m to N7m, which was the highest price then.”
 
He noted that consequent to that, there has been an upsurge in the use of firewood and other alternative energy sources nowadays.
 
“If you come to Lagos, you will see heaps of firewood like groundnut pyramids. Many people who use LPG to run their small businesses cannot cope again because of the price. They are in crisis right now; some of them are now using firewood, others, charcoal,” he stated.
 
Umudu added, “Many people in the rural and semi-urban areas are dropping their cylinders. Those who find it difficult to get alternatives are actually going through a very hard time.”
 
Also speaking on the issue, the Executive Secretary, Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers, Bassey Essien, said the cost of 12.5kg gas could hit N10,000 in December.
 
He said, “If by December they (government) don’t take time to address this surge, it (12.5kg) will be N10,000. We are not the one causing this, rather it is the government. We sell what we get.”
 
On what could be done, he replied, “The volume we produce in Nigeria is just about 40 per cent of the total consumption; the rest is imported. And you don’t have a forex window for these people to access to import gas.

“And secondly, you suddenly woke up and said you want to start imposing VAT on imported gas, which was removed several years back. And now, you didn’t even start it fresh, rather you said it is going to be in retrospect, starting from several months back.”
 
He added, “And you are imposing billions in taxes on gas imports, for instance, you ask one company to pay about N4bn as tax. Now if they pay that money, some other person needs to shoulder this cost.”
 
On what the government was doing about the development, the spokesperson of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Garba-Deen Muhammad, said the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, had said the commodity was deregulated.
 
Muhammed, who served as the media aide to Sylva before switching to become NNPC spokesperson recently, said, “The minister answered this question during his last press briefing two weeks ago.”
 
At the briefing, Sylva had said, “We are not in position to determine gas pricing because gas is not a regulated product. But, of course, we are also very concerned that prices are rising and so I am actually doing something about it in the interest of the ordinary Nigerian.

“I am calling some of the suppliers to discuss the reason for this hike.”
 
He added that the intervention was outside government role.

The founder of Citadel Global Community Church, Tunde Bakare has admitted tearing apart a book written by his colleague, Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church.
 
Pastor Bakare opened up on the reason why he tore the book.
 
According to him, he tore the book because it was full of scriptural errors.
 
He explained that the book which claimed that anointing oil is not a symbol of the Holy Spirit was erroneously written.
 
The clergyman, who spoke on TVC’s ‘The Big Talk’, however, said he has nothing against Bishop Oyedepo.
 
Bakare said he only stands for the truth.

“There is a difference between issues and persons.

“I have nothing personal against any man of God including Oyedepo, but I will always defend the truth that I know, and I will always make it plain.

“How can someone say the anointing oil is not a symbol of the Holy Spirit? It is the release of God in the bottle. If it is told to a few people, it is okay.

“If anointing oil is the Holy Spirit, then Jesus is a lamb walking on four legs. They are symbols,” he said.

Ayokunle spoke at the opening of the 39th Holy Ghost Convention 2021 of the Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Sunday evening in Ibadan.
 
The Christian leader said the situation in the country was because people neglected God and took His words for granted.
 
He lamented that corruption had become a way of life in government, companies, families, religious centres and others.
 
The CAN president prophesied showers of rain that will will bring freshness to the country and the citizens.

“The Lord will fight the beast of bandits, Boko Haram, religious terrorists, kidnappers, other criminals operating in Nigeria and caused them to be wiped away in Jesus name.

“I prophesy into you Nigeria and Nigerians that our economy is going to bounce back and Nigeria will flourish.

Ayokunle predicted Nigerians will flourish and that those in the diaspora will return home to “possess their possessions.

“Nigerians will not be fugitives anywhere anymore. The name Nigeria shall be respected everywhere, the lost glory shall be restored in full.

“Nigeria is not going to become Afghanistan, no Taliban is going to take over here. We tear every false prophecy apart concerning Nigeria in Jesus Name”, he prayed.
 
After the fall of Kabul, the Taliban swore to impose Islamic law in all countries of the world.

 The matter was reported to the Police at Alausa Division, who moved into action and later arrested two suspects.

In what will come across as a rather startling development, night security men attached to the popular Shoprite at City Mall, Alausa area of Ikeja, Lagos, may have been fooled after some thieves removed the roof of the mall, gained entrance, looted some items and escaped.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened on 12th August, 2021, when the management of the mall came to work only to discover that some items were missing before they realised that the roof was removed at night.

When the operation was going on, the night guards were awake but did not know when the roof was removed. So the thieves gained entrance into the mall, stole some items including Hennessey, Lu-tech machine, perfumes among other things and escaped.

The matter was reported to the Police at Alausa Division, who moved into action and later arrested two suspects, namely Peace Kelvin, 28 and Sulaimon Taiwo, 26 and detained at the Station for interrogation.

After interrogation, the Police found them culpable and subsequently charged them for conspiracy, burglary and stealing.

They pleaded not guilty.

The prosecutor, Inspector Rachael Williams, asked the Court to give a date for trial since they pleaded not guilty to enable the Police to prove they actually committed the alleged offence.

The Presiding Magistrate, Mr. O.D. Njoku, granted them bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum while the matter was adjourned to 16th September, 2021, for mention.

However, the defendants were remanded in Correctional Centre at Kirikiri town, Lagos, pending when they will perfect their bail conditions.

 A mother has been left in shock after giving birth to a baby with genetic disorder called, Progeria.

A 20-year-old woman has been left disturbed after giving birth to a baby that looks like an old woman.
 
The South African woman gave birth to the baby with a rare condition called progeria, a progressive genetic disorder that causes children to age rapidly.
 
Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is caused by a mutation (change) in the lamin (LMNA) gene. 
 
The woman from Libode in Eastern Cape, delivered the baby girl at home two months ago. Local mid-wives including the baby's grandmother noticed that she exhibited signs that were different from most babies. Her hands are deformed and her skin was wrinkled. She is currently in hospital with her mother.

"When she was in labour we called an ambulance but it took long to come. So she gave birth here at home. But the delivery got complicated and we hired a van to take her to hospital," the grandmother said. 
 
"We were told there that she’s disabled. I noticed during her birth that there was something strange with her. She did not cry and she was breathing through the ribs. I was shocked because that was strange. Now I hear that people are calling her names. That hurts a lot. If I had means, I would put all of them in jail,” she added. 
 
Photos of the baby have been circulating on social media. Some users likened her to an ape, causing outrage and anger among those who sympathize with her.
 
Director of children’s rights organisation, Khula Community Development Project, Petros Majola, believes communities need to be educated about this condition.

"Communities must know that the mother did not apply for her baby to be like this. In a woman’s womb, there is no construction or factory that builds babies. People need to embrace this child for who she is,” says Majola.
 
Medical experts say the genetic condition occurs randomly and is not inherited. Doctor Martha Mayer, a neonatologist at the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital says the syndrome is very rare.

"Progeria is a genetic condition that makes the baby age faster. Another thing is that these children also develop heart diseases and their life span is very short. We have never had a child with that condition in this hospital. It is very rare, maybe it happens to one in four or eight million people.”
 
Progeria affects about 1 in 20 million people around the world and there is no known cure.
 
Ontlametse Phalatse, who captured the hearts of many South Africans for her brave battle with progeria, died at the age of 18 in 2017.

 Some Nigerians have taken to social media to call out Biggie over the eviction of Maria.

Angry Big Brother ‘Shine Ye Eye’ season six reality show viewers have stormed social media to register their annoyance following the eviction of Maria.
 
They put the blame on Biggie, accusing him of using Maria.
 
Recall that Maria and JMK, and a male housemate, Sammie were on Sunday evicted from the ‘shine ya eye’ edition of the Big Brother Naija reality TV show.
 
Her eviction came as a shock to both the fans and her fellow housemates as no one saw it coming.
 
Reacting to the eviction, fans took to different social media platforms to slam Big Brother, revealing he used her to promote the show and then dumped her. Others, however, did not understand why Big Brother wanted her out of the show.
 
Recall also that Maria had won the head of house task the previous week which amounted to nothing because no one was evicted last week.
 
See some of the reactions below;
 
@i_am_dagos wrote “Shame on Biggie for using Maria to promote the show and dump her”
 
@RebeccaKargboR1 wrote “Big Brother NAIJA production used and dumped Maria”
 
@kolawole401 wrote “That’s not the point. Production team milked content out of her”
 
@ife_44 wrote “The organizers wanted Maria out !! There’s no better way of saying it or looking at it .. Her sheep was tossed to the lions gate deliberately!!!”
 
@CliffeWola wrote “@SirUTI The production had to sacrifice Maria to make the show unpredictable. The plan was put in place 3 weeks ago. The next to be sacrificed is Pere. No matter what they do, the end game is so predictable. Top 5 WM, LR, Cross, Saskay, Angel.”
