Nigerian Celebrities and Rape

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Celebrities worldwide have been associated with rape culture, and Nigerian celebrities are not an exception. The difference is that rape cases involving Nigerian celebrities are variously underreported because admirers of the musician, artist, actor or pastor, usually talks down on the rape accuser.

Celebrities in the United States convicted of rape case include Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein who has been found guilty of two counts in his sexual assault trial and more women are still accusing him of rape as at last month.

 

Celebrity chef John Besh  was forced to resign from  his company in 2017 after it was revealed in an investigation by The Times-Picayune and NOLA.com that 25 women including current and former employees, said they were victims of sexual harassment while working for the Besh Restaurant Group.

Writer and comedian Louis C.K. was accused of sexual misconduct by five women and this led to a big disgrace for the man and his many shows in the US, since 2017.

Since the uproar over rape cases in Nigeria, following the rape and murder of Uwaila Omozuwa, an undergraduate of University of Benin, in Redeemed Christian Church of God, Ikpoba Hill, Benin and other murder and rape cases occurring almost simultaneously, lots of women in Nigeria have accused some celebrities of rape.

Dbanj Rape Accuser's Painful Ordeal with the Police

Written by Obinna Akukwe

The lady who accused Dbanj of rape has finally   opened up on her ordeal with the Nigerian police. This is barely thirty six hours after I released an informed report on the rape titled ‘Dbanj, Rape and the Police’   where I lambasted the irresponsible behavior of the police authorities in detaining her in police cell with criminals for over 24 hours.

The lady, Seyitan Babatayo, had revealed that she was detained for 48 hours with criminals and released into the hands of Dbanj, to delete her tweets, hide evidences and proofs of the rape, and turned her into an advert executive for  the super star artiste.

I had argued in the report concerning the strange arrest that,  

“This is the height of irresponsible behavior of the police. This lady was forced to delete her tweets, and turn to advert executive for Dbanj new music which she was said to be promoting on her social handle. The police abandoned this lady in cell with criminals; she was probably slapped and maltreated by the criminals. The lesbian inmates in the cell might have molested her. She was abandoned for more than 24 hours without any bath, against the laws of the land, because a wealthy artist was throwing money around”

DBanj, Rape and the Police

Written by Obinna Akukwe

A popular musician and multiple award winning Nigerian artiste, Dapo Oyebanjo popularly called D’banj, has been accused by a lady, Seyitan Babatayo, of rape.  According to the victim, the rape occurred in 2018 at Glee Hotel Victoria Island Lagos.

According to the initial narrative by Benjamin Ese, friend to Seyitan, “D’Banj drove all the way from Eko hotel where he was lodged and came down to Glee hotel in Victoria Island at midnight 2.40 am and collected the spare key from the receptionist, got into my friend’s room and forcefully threatened he would walk her out of the room naked, kept his fingers in her vagina and repeatedly raped her.”

Ese alleged that Dbanj had earlier offered to have sexual intercourse with the said lady at the cost of N200,000 but the victim refused, and after the music show, she retired to Glee Hotel before Dbanj forced himself into the place and had unauthorized carnal knowledge of her.

 

It should be noted that Babatayo probably never wanted an issue from the rape except that the culprit should apologize. Therefore, all these theories of the lady looking for Dbanj’s money are another theory from hell fire. The victim never reported to the police, she needed just  a remorseful apology to  forget the ugly incidence and move on with her life, and what she got from Dbanj and the Nigerian police was harassment, detention, intimidation and lawsuit.

VP Osinbajo’s aide Refutes Claim of RCCG Pastor Ozikpu’s Sack over Sowore Protests

A personal aide to VP Osinbajo, Nicholas Adesina, had refuted claims that Pastor Ozikpu was sacked from RCCG for participation in Sowore protests. Reacting to a piece on the subject of  Pastor Ozikpu’s  sack written by Columnist Obinna Akukwe, and made available to opinionnigeria, the personal aide who had severally defended VP Osinbajo on sensitive issues , said that Ozikpu’s sack was in line with policies of RCCG.

 

According to Adesina  “As for his (Ozikpu’s) claims that professor Osinbajo influenced his sacking, I’m surprised he didn’t even claim that professor Osinbajo influenced his arrest in the first place or designated two police officers to track him from his home and then arrest him as soon as he and others wanted to begin vandalizing public property or and endangering lives of Innocent citizens.

“In conclusion, I agree with the writer that the church needs strong-willed and upright politicians and activists in power and also in opposition but not thieves, looters, brigands, and all types of lawbreakers. Remember, we are enjoined to give unto Caesar what is Caesar’s”

Gates of Hell Swallows Lagos Churches as Govt Restricts Worship Centers

Written by Obinna Akukwe

The Gates of Hell have swallowed churches in Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja as Governor Sanwo-Olu suspends planned lifting of restrictions on worship centers. Lagos, Ogun and FCT are the epicenters and headquarters of the Orthodox, Episcopal and Mega Pentecostal churches in Nigeria.

Our Lady’s Queen of Nigeria Pro- Cathedral, Abuja, Our Lord’s Garden (Dunamis Glory Dome) Abuja, Mountain of Fire Prayer City, Deeper Life Camp Ground, Ibafo, Redemption Camp, Mowe, Canaanland ,Ota, Deeper Life Global Headquarters, Gbagada, MFM Headquarters, Yaba, Hoy Cross Cathedral, Lagos Island are principal churches situated within Lagos, Ogun and FCT. These churches have been under lockdown since March.

FCT resumed Sunday services last week. Lagos is scheduled to start Sunday worship next week, but the government had shelved the earlier planned lifting of restrictions. Ogun State had locked down Saturdays and Sundays and there is no plan yet for restriction of worship centre.

The earlier guidelines included churches operating at thirty percent of their capacity, provided it does not exceed 500 persons. This is a big blow to churches like Winners Chapel, Mountain of Fire Ministries, Deeper Life Church, Christ Embassy, Redeemed Christian Church of God, among others whose membership reaches hundreds of thousands in a single day in one location. Children under the age of 15 and those above 55 years are barred from attendance.

RCCG Pastor Ozikpu’s Claim that Osinbajo influenced his Sack over Sowore Protests: Matters Arising

Written by Obinna Akukwe

The claims by an administrative pastor with Redeemed Christian Church of God, Elias Ozikpu that he was sacked from the church after his participation in the ‘Revolution Now’ protests pioneered by Omoleye Sowore, under the Lagos Province 48, headed by Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is very worrisome.

 

Elias Ozikpu also alleged that all his numerous letters for his six months’ salary arrears prior to his sack to be paid, copies of which he sent to VP Osinbajo and GO Adeboye, is yet to be attended to.

I advise the RCCG leadership that sacking a pastor for participating in a protest in Nigeria filled with evil government officials as a matter of policy, is not right. Protests are means of bringing the attention of evil rulers to their responsibility. The church should even lead in such. I advise relevant authorities to bring back the sacked pastor, pay his entitlements and not muscle activists within their fold because one day the church will need people like Elias Ozikpu.

Elias Ozikpu is an activist and a professional playwright, novelist, essayist and polemicist.

Murder, Rape in RCCG Church: Adeboye’s Timely Prayer Warfare

Written by Obinna Akukwe

The General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A.Adeboye has declared prayer warfare over the death of Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, raped and murdered to death in RCCG Ikpoba Hill Benin.

 

According to Pastor Adeboye, his prayer warriors will not rest until Uwa’s killers are found and the perpetrators of rape are accorded stiffer penalty.

Adeboye said during a live programme on DOVE TV, monitored in Ibadan on Sunday, that the issue of rape had become rampant in the society. He described rape as bad and unbiblical that it could leave a permanent scare on the victim for the rest of her life.

According to him, there is no pain that can be compared to the pain on the parents whose daughter had been raped.

“Myself and prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of this evil are brought to justice, not only in Nigeria but all over the world. Everyone who has ever committed rape, particularly in Nigeria and the world, the all-knowing God will fish them.

From Jihad of the Penis to Rape in the Church-Chibok, Dapchi, RCCG

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Nigerian wickedness have graduated from a Jihad of the penis, the type waged in Chibok and Dapchi, to rape in the church, the type witnessed in Redeemed Christian Church God, RCCG Benin.

To refresh unsavory news, Miss Vera Uwaila Omozuwa, a 22 year old microbiology student of University of Benin, and chorister with RCCG, Ikpoba Hill, Province of Benin, was raped and murdered inside the same church she and her family had put in sixteen years of faithful service to God.

 

Christianity is endangered in Nigeria. It was endangered by both the rampaging Jihadists and the rapacious church members. There is both internal and external pull at the fabrics of the church and the leaders are yet to realize that hard times have come again.

The outrage over the murder of Uwa in RCCG had not died down when an anointed Bishop was apprehended by the police for raping a 19 year old girl in his church, Victory Revival Fasting & Prayer Ministry, Warri. The anointed Bishop by name Elijah Orhonigbe is now in police net (pending when he pays his way out).

Covid-19 Rape, Murder in RCCG Church: Disgrace to Christendom

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Rape and murder occurred in RCCG church amidst coronavirus pandemic and a great disgrace has been brought to Christendom, yet church leaders have not read the handwriting on the wall. Since the history of Nigeria’s amalgamation in 1914, for the first time a virgin girl was tied, gagged, blindfolded, raped, filmed and murdered in a church in Nigeria.-and everything is wrong with it.

People have been killed in churches. In 2011, Jihadist Christmas bomber attacked St Theresa’s Catholic Church, Madalah, Niger State and killed over fifty worshipers. Churches have been bombed in Nigeria. In 2017, South African based drug barons carried their killing spree into St Philips Catholic Church,Ozubulu, Anambra State and in the process thirteen worshippers were shot dead , even though propagandists blamed herdsmen. .

These are different aspects of desecration of worship places in Nigeria during conflicts, but never had someone been raped and killed in a church during peacetime. This is the initial results of the abdication of the spiritual edge of the church in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Murder, Rape in RCCG Church Amidst Covid-19 Lockdown-Matters Arising

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Its very unfortunate that a virgin student, faithful church worker, Vera Uwaila who converted his father from paganism to Christianity was raped and killed in the House of God in RCCG Benin.

 

Pagans, atheists, freemasons, and corrupt politicians are now sympathizing with the church. Let the church use the Holy Ghost Fire and arrest the culprits before the name of God is further dragged down the mud.Pastor Adeboye reacts to rape, murder of 100 level UNIBEN student ...

This is the result of Illuminati orchestrated lockdown of churches which I have been preaching about in many writeups.
