The Founder and General Overseer of Save and Serve Christ Family Church, Ibadan, Bishop (Dr.) Jide Orire, has called on Nigerians to unite in prayer and support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration as the nation battles insecurity, economic hardship, and what he described as a “spiritual assault on the conscience of humanity.” Speaking in Ibadan, Bishop Orire condemned the continued killings of Christians, Muslims, and innocent citizens across parts of the country, describing the situation as deeply disturbing.

The Federal Government has pledged to raise Nigeria’s milk production from the current 700 million litres a year to meet the national demand of 1.6 billion litres.

Court Warns Kanu to Open Defence or Lose Right to Trial

A Federal High Court in Abuja has warned detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu that he could lose his right to defend himself if he fails to open his case at the next hearing. Justice James Omotosho issued the warning on Tuesday after Kanu again refused to enter his defence in his ongoing trial for alleged terrorism. This marks the fourth time he has failed to do so since the prosecution closed its case and the court dismissed his no-case submission.

At the last sitting on October 27, the court adjourned for Kanu to either file his final written address or begin his defence. When the case resumed, Kanu told the court he had not submitted his written […]

Nigeria Rejects Claims of Religious Persecution

The Nigerian government has dismissed claims of religious persecution, saying the country’s constitution guarantees freedom of religion for all citizens. Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar made this clear during a press conference in Berlin on Tuesday, following remarks by former US President Donald Trump, who had threatened military intervention over the alleged killing of Christians in Nigeria. “There can’t be a religious persecution that can be supported in any way, shape or form by the government of Nigeria at any level,” Tuggar said.
