Northern CAN: Kwara Church Attack, Brig.-Gen.’s Killing Aimed at Destabilising Nigeria—-The Northern chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has condemned the rising wave of insecurity across the country, describing recent incidents as painful reminders of the severe challenges confronting the citizens and security personnel.

The association expressed deep sorrow over the recent attack on a Christ Apostolic Church in Kwara, which left some worshippers killed and several abducted during the violent incident.

It also condemned the killing of a senior military officer, a Brig.-Gen. in Borno, by ISWAP terrorists, as well as the abduction of schoolgirls in Kebbi.

In a statement on Wednesday in Kaduna, the Chairman of Northern CAN, Rev. Joseph Hayab, said the association stood in full solidarity with the victims, their families, and the affected communities during this difficult period.

He said that the pain and trauma experienced by the families who had lost their loved ones or have children in captivity cannot be overstated, given the severity of the incidents.

Hayab stressed that Northern CAN was praying for comfort for the bereaved, divine healing for the injured, and the safe return of all abducted persons across the country.

While commending the Nigerian Armed Forces for their sacrifices, the association warned that the resurgence of terror attacks appears to be a deliberate attempt to further destabilise the nation.

He urged the military not to allow the incidents to dampen their morale but to remain focused and resolute in ongoing security operations nationwide.

Hayab called on the new security chiefs and troops to intensify their operations and demonstrate renewed determination to defeat insurgents, bandits, and other criminal networks threatening peace.

He further appealed to the Federal Government to redouble efforts in securing schools, worship centres, and vulnerable communities facing repeated threats from criminal groups.

According to him, Nigerians expect decisive action to ensure that those behind the heinous crimes were arrested and prosecuted, giving the victims confidence that justice would be served.

The Northern CAN also condemned the attacks in their entirety, describing them as unacceptable acts of evil that must not be allowed to fester or spread further.

The association called for stronger collaboration between the security agencies, state governments, and community structures to prevent additional tragedies across the nation. (NAN)

BREAKING: From Words to Ring: Lizzy Anjorin Accepts Iyabo Ojo Boxing Challenge—–Nollywood stars Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy anjorin set for potential showdown as rivalry takes new turn

Actress Lizzy Anjorin has accepted the boxing ring challenge issued by her colleague Iyabo Ojo, adding a new turn to their long running public dispute.

The development began after Iyabo Ojo shared a video of herself training and challenged Lizzy Anjorin to a boxing match. She also called on businessman Emeka Okonkwo, known as E-Money and music executive Soso Soberekon to sponsor the proposed fight.

Lizzy Anjorin responded by accepting the challenge and criticised Iyabo Ojo in her post, questioning public support and describing her as a certified failed actress with zero achievements.

She also asked Iyabo to set a date for the fight and insisted she was ready.

“ABEG MK WE START BETTING NOW

“PAULO SIS MAMA AMBASSADOR BABY OIL I CHALLENGE YOU AND IYABO OJO SEPETERI THE CERTIFIED FAILED ACTRESS WITH ZERO ACHIEVEMENTS TO PICK A DATE FOR THE FIGHT

In another post, Lizzy Anjorin also reacted to Iyabo Ojo’s partner Paulo Okoye, over his suggestion that their disagreement should be settled in a boxing ring. She challenged him to a 10 round fight with her husband before any match involving her and Iyabo Ojo.

The latest exchange adds to a long running dispute between both actresses, which has played out publicly on social media over the years, with repeated back and forth comments and accusations.

At different points in the conflict, Iyabo Ojo had shared a video mocking Lizzy Anjorin, which escalated tensions between both sides. Lizzy later made allegations against Iyabo, leading to further public exchanges and legal threats.

Iyabo Ojo had demanded a public apology and threatened legal action over alleged defamatory statements, including a compensation claim.

In 2024, a Lagos court dismissed a 1 billion naira defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Lizzy Anjorin, marking a legal setback in one of their cases. The public disagreement between both actresses has however continued to resurface through online exchanges.
