00:56The attackers were Islamic terrorists and they invaded the church located at Eriku Community, a border town with Kogi State in the Akiti local government area of Kwara State around 5pm on Tuesday evening, killing three worshippers at the spot and kidnapped several Christian worshippers in the church including the presiding pastor, the ECWA News Media has reported in recent days that the attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria is growing almost higher,
01:26on daily basis, specifically stating that Rev. Father Bobby Paschal, Parish Priest of St. Stephen Parish in Kushguju, Kagako local government area, Kaduna State, was kidnapped by Islamic terrorists in the early hours on Monday, November 17, 2025.
01:44In addition, the ECWA News Media also published image of 12 residents including an ECWA pastor that were kidnapped by Islamic terrorists last week at the Gidunwaya community in Leray local government area of Kaduna State.
01:59The safety of the elderly woman is yet to be ascertained as a press time as the Kwara State Police Command of the Nigeria Police Force described the successful terrorist act as an attempted bandits attack, according to Sahara Reporters News Media.
02:14Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers came in suddenly, shooting sporadically, and gathered some worshippers, including the pastor, and marched them into the bush.
02:25The exact number of abducted victims remains unknown, but residents say the attackers fled through bush paths linking neighboring communities.
02:33The incident has left the community in panic and chaos, with residents and travelers fleeing into surrounding bushes for safety.
02:40At midnight on Tuesday, some stranded travelers in a viral video called for help as they could not continue their journey due to the terrorists who were on rampage in the town.
02:52Evangelical Church Winning All, ECWA Nationwide GIST News Media stated that, this evening, around 5pm today, Islamist terrorists invaded CAC in Eriku Kwara State while evening service was going on.
03:07The pastor of the church was going on.
03:08The pastor of the church and some females have been kidnapped.
03:11Three people shot dead.
03:13The church program was on live stream when bandits entered the church.
03:18In another report, the ECWA News Media stated that, another Catholic priest has reportedly been abducted by Islamic terrorists in Kaduna.
03:27Rev. Fr. Bobby Paschal, parish priest of St. Stephen Parish in Kushguju, Kagako local government area, Kaduna State, was taken in the early hours of Monday, November 17, 2025.
03:42The Giddon Wire community in Leray local government area of Kaduna State has released photos of 12 residents abducted by bandits last week.
03:51Reports indicate the attack left four people dead and several others injured.
03:55Among the kidnapped are six women, a minor, three young men, and an ECWA church reverend.
04:03The victims remain in the hands of the kidnappers, with the community urgently.
04:08Appealing for their safe and immediate release, Punch newspaper on Tuesday reported that,
04:14At least five persons have been killed and several others abducted after suspected bandits launched two separate attacks in Eraku,
04:21a boundary town with Kogi State in the Akiti local government area of Kwara State on Tuesday.
04:27In the first incident, the attackers stormed a branch of the Christ Apostolic Church, CAC,
04:33during a special service, shooting sporadically before targeting worshippers.
04:39The Punch learned that three worshippers were shot dead on the spot,
04:43while the pastor and an unspecified number of congregants were whisked away into the bush.
04:48An eyewitness, who pleaded not to be named, said,
04:52The gunmen came into the church while people were gathered.
04:55They started shooting and three people died immediately.
04:58They later rounded up some worshippers, including the pastor, and marched them into the bush.
05:04The exact number of abducted victims remains unclear,
05:08but residents said the gunmen escaped through bush paths leading to neighboring communities in Kogi State.
05:14Earlier in the evening, the bandits reportedly launched another violent attack along the Alor and Kaba Road,
05:20forcing travelers and residents to abandon their vehicles and flee into nearby bushes.
05:25A traveler returning from Niger State, who recorded a distress voice note obtained by the Punch,
05:32said,
05:33We suddenly ran into them.
05:35Everybody abandoned the cars and scattered into the bush.
05:38They came around 6.30pm and started shooting.
05:42Two people were killed instantly, and we don't even know how many were taken.
05:46They're still shooting, you can hear it.
05:49A community leader, Mr. Benjamin Iyerib, told the Punch that Eriku has been under perpetual attacks for the last three weeks,
05:58lamenting that repeated distress calls to authorities have yielded no tangible response.
06:04We have begged the local and state governments for help, but nothing concrete has come.
06:08We are living in fear every day, he said.
06:12Iyerib added that despite resistance from vigilantes, local hunters, the police, and the Eriku Progressive Union,
06:20the relentless attacks have overwhelmed the community.
06:23We need federal help.
06:25These attacks are becoming too much for us to bear.
06:28We are pleading with the president to intervene urgently, he said.
06:31Sahara Reporters News Media also reported that,
06:36the Kwara State Police Command has confirmed a terrorist attack in Eriku town,
06:40which occurred around 6pm on Tuesday, November 18th.
06:44According to a statement released by the police public relations officer,
06:49S.P. Adetonejire Adayemi,
06:51the divisional police officer, DPO, of Eriku and his team,
06:55working alongside local vigilantes,
06:57responded swiftly to the sound of gunshots from the outskirts of the town.
07:03She noted that the combined security effort reportedly forced the assailants to flee into the bush.
07:08The statement read,
07:10The Kwara State Police Command confirms an attempted bandit attack in Eriku,
07:14which occurred at about 1800 hours of today, the 18th of November 2025.
07:20The DPO Eriku and his team of police operatives,
07:23in collaboration with vigilantes,
07:26swiftly responded to the sound of gunshots emanating from the outskirts of the town,
07:31prompting the hoodlums to flee into the bush.
07:34Upon thorough search of the area,
07:36one male victim,
07:38Mr. Adetonejire Adetonejire was discovered fatally shot inside the Christ Apostolic Church,
07:43O.K. Asegan,

07:46another victim of fatal gunshot was found in the bush.
07:49A vigilante,
07:51Shagana Laja sustained gunshot injuries and was immediately rushed to ECWA Hospital,
07:57Eriku,
07:58for medical treatment.
08:00C.P. Adekimiya Joe commended the swift response of the police and vigilantes.
08:04He also assures the public that security agencies will not relent until these hoodlums are totally decimated.
08:11Further updates will,
08:13be provided as investigations progress,
08:15she added.
08:16Meanwhile,
08:17Barrister Opiemi Bondand in an ex-social media post written as a letter to President Bola Ahmed Tanubu,
08:24stated that,
08:25I'm writing to bring to your,
08:27President Bola Ahmed Tanubu,
08:28attention a dire situation unfolding in Eriku community,
08:32located in Kwara state.
08:35Tonight,
08:35heavily armed bandits brutally attacked worshippers at the Christ Apostolic Church,
08:40resulting in the tragic loss of lives and the kidnapping of many innocent worshippers.
08:45This heinous act is the latest in a series of assaults that have plagued our community for months,
08:51with Ossi,
08:52Eriku,
08:53and Egbe Roads being hotspots for these attacks.
08:56It's worth mentioning that the state governor's efforts seem inadequate,

16:55If the Brigadier General has been killed was not provided, following the apparent unfortunate development in the Nigeria Army community, former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abu Bakar on Monday in a statement personally signed called on President Bola Ahmed Tanubu to admit incompetence and the President should either ask for help or tendered a letter of resignation immediately.
17:18According to the former Nigeria Vice President, Atiku Abu Bakar, I am deeply saddened and extremely shocked and disturbed by news making the rounds of the killing of Brigadier General Musa Uba by terrorists and the failure of the military hierarchy to clearly explain how it happened or what went wrong, as initial official denials indicated that this was not the case.
17:41This for me is unequivocally a failure of political leadership as the President seems only more interested in decimating the opposition by all means possible, while forgetting his crucial role as Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces.
17:55General Musa Uba's death along with the deaths of some of the troops he was leading is one death too many and a bold terrorist resurgence our dear country cannot afford.
18:05I urge all citizens and our military leaders to take heart, as even this season shall pass away.
18:12To Mr. President, the security of the lives of our people is your primary responsibility and you must live up to it or be humble enough to admit incompetence and either ask for help or resign.
18:24If I were President, I would order the military to occupy Borno State or any state under siege by bandits or armed groups until they clear those areas.
18:34We must care enough for the men and women who put their lives on the line for our sake.
18:40I offer my condolences to the Nigerian Armed Forces, the family of the bereaved and indeed to all Nigerians.
18:47May this dark period pass over us as a nation, sooner than later.
18:51Premium, Times in later report on Monday evening, stated that, the brigade commander, M. Uba, earlier declared safe by the Nigerian Army after fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province, ISWAP,
19:07ambushed his team along the Damboa-Buaxis in Borno State, has now been reported dead.
19:13The terror group, ISWAP, has announced that it captured Mr. Uba and killed him.
19:19The group also shared photos to prove its criminal act.
19:23PR Nigeria, a news platform close to security agencies, also confirmed that the general was kidnapped and killed after military authorities thought he was safe after surviving the initial ambush.
19:34On Sunday, citing a Hugh Mangle story, Premium Times reported that Mr. Uba was kidnapped after ISWAP terrorists ambushed his team alongside operatives of the Civilian Joint Task Force, CJTF, on Friday night.
19:50The Army, however, denied that he was kidnapped and said he was safe after soldiers successfully repelled the ambush.
19:57ISWAP claims it executed Mr. Uba.
20:01In an Arabic statement published in its propaganda newsletter magazine, Amak, ISWAP said it had captured Mr. Uba and executed him after he was interrogated.
20:11The 2016 breakaway faction of Boko Haram attached a picture collage of Mr. Uba, showing when he was in office and when he was captured.
20:20A picture of the brigade commander from inside his office and a picture of him after he was captured by the Islamic State, the group captioned the picture.
20:30Islamic State fighters overthrew a senior officer in the Nigerian Army after a successful ambush on a military force in Borno, the group said, adding that the commander was captured after, he fled, from the Wajirako attack.
20:43ISWAP said as soon as it received intel that Mr. Uba had escaped, a unit of fighters, set out to search for him, and succeeded in capturing him on Saturday, near a village, after he was wounded.
20:57The purported picture of his capture shows Mr. Uba's camouflage stained with blood around his legs.
21:04ISWAP said it interrogated Mr. Uba before killing him on the spot.
21:08The terror group further taunted the Nigerian Army, describing its statement as an, outright lie and a miserable security failure.
21:17PR Nigeria reports that Mr. Uba earlier confirmed his safety to his superiors after an aerial operation that helped him escape the ISWAP attack.
21:27But the event took a tragic turn.
21:29Reports of his location compelled the terrorists to track him down, leading to his capture and subsequent summary execution after an interrogation.
21:37The platform reported, Mr. Uba's killings, according to experts, marked the first time the insurgents would kill an officer with such a high rank.
21:48His killing was blamed on insecure military communications within the Northeast Theater, PR Nigeria reported.
21:55Hugh Mangle in an earliest news report on Monday morning, stated that,
21:59The Nigerian Army's statement that Brigadier General M. Uba, the Brigade Commander 25 Task Force Brigade, successfully led troops back to base,
22:09after an ambush last Friday, November 14th, in the Damboa area of Borno State, northeastern Nigeria,
22:17has been challenged by an exclusive, verified image obtained by Hugh Mangle.
22:22The image shows the senior officer alive but held by insurgents, contradicting the military's official account.
22:28The ambush by ISWAP fighters on a joint military and civilian joint task force, CJTF, convoy on View Road resulted in the deaths of several soldiers and CJTF members,
22:41with the general's whereabouts initially reported as unknown.
22:45Hugh Mangle's early report cited sources on the ground who said the general was abducted during the attack.
22:51We later reported that he had escaped on foot and returned to base, after several security sources insisted on this.
22:59The Nigerian Army also issued a statement denying the abduction, insisting the general had safely led his men back to base,
23:07and that the incident was an ambush, causing casualties but no kidnapping.
23:12However, the military provided no evidence to back this claim at the time.
23:17A verified image Hugh Mangle has seen shows the commander in the custody of ISWAP insurgents, with a gunshot wound to the leg.
23:25Verification was carried out through detailed frame analysis, geolocation cross-checking,
23:31and confirmation from independent security sources familiar with the region and the incident.
23:36The image, shortly after the ambush, shows the general surrounded by armed fighters, appearing fatigued but alive.
23:45Hugh Mangle, in line with our editorial policies, has made the editorial decision not to publish the picture.
23:52This new evidence directly challenges the Army's public statement, highlighting a significant discrepancy in the information being shared about frontline realities.
24:01The contradictory accounts raise concerns about communication gaps within the military and the potential consequences of misinformation for public trust and operational security.
24:12The capture of a serving commander marks a rare and serious development in the ongoing conflict with insurgent groups in Nigeria's northeast.
24:21In recent months, ISWAP has intensified attacks around Damboa and the wider Borno region, escalating the dangers faced by both military personnel and civilians.
24:32Security analysts who reviewed the image described the abduction as both an operational setback and a symbolic blow to Nigerian forces fighting the insurgency.
24:42Families of soldiers deployed in the area have expressed frustration and anxiety over the conflicting reports about their loved ones' safety.
24:51Efforts to secure fresh comments from the Nigerian Army have been ongoing, but as a publication, no new statement has been issued addressing the emerging evidence.
25:00United Nigeria Airlines confirmed in a statement issued a few minutes ago that two popular Nigeria social media influences,
25:17Martins Vincentos, a.k.a. Vareed Agman and Freedom Okpetritz Atspoi, a.k.a. Mr. Joloff, were deplaned and handed over to Asaba International Airport Police Authority for investigation after the two celebrities goes physical with each other inside the United Nigeria Airlines aircraft as the plane was about to depart from Asaba to Lagos early morning on Monday.
25:39In a press release issued and made available by the airline's public relations officer, Chidui K. Unoka, the United Nigeria Airlines, confirms that an altercation occurred between two passengers,
25:52two passengers, identified as Martins Vincentos, a.k.a. Vareed Agman and Freedom Okpetritz Atspoi, Mr. Joloff, during the boarding of Flight UNO 523 at Asaba International Airport on the morning of 17 November 2025.
26:08In full compliance with global aviation safety protocols, our crew responded immediately and professionally to de-escalate the situation.
26:18Both passengers were deboarded without delay to ensure the safety, comfort, and security of all other passengers and crew members.
26:27They were subsequently handed over to airport security for further investigation.
26:31United Nigeria Airlines places the highest priority on safety and maintains a zero-tolerance policy for any conduct that threatens the security or well-being of passengers or crew.
26:43After all standard procedures were completed, the flight departed safely while the passengers involved in the altercation were still with the authorities.
26:52We remain firmly committed to providing a safe, respectful, and secure travel experience across our network.
26:59Videos made online by co-passengers on the plane showed Vareed Agman threatening to slap Mr. Joloff,
27:06and Mr. Joloff advanced towards him in a manner that was initially and apparently perceived by others inside the plane as a joke,
27:14until the situation escalated into a mild brawl as crew members and passengers tried to intervene.
27:20It is gathered that the fight occurred as a result of misunderstanding both had since 2024 wherein,
27:26Vareed Agman had reportedly vowed to attack Mr. Joloff anytime, anywhere.
27:31Shortly after the fight, Vareed Agman in a video statement said that,
27:35I don't chop Joloff father for inside plane.
27:39Man way day bite, I beat, I beat am.

30:43Obase, who probably had been in the bad books of some Edo youths sequel to his ways of always
30:49defending the ex-governor Obaseki and exchanging words with those against the ex-governor.
30:55Videos made available online indicated that Albert Obase was attacked while he was live streaming
31:01the event on Facebook and other social media platforms as guests were coming in and waiting
31:06for the arrival of the former Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and his wife, Betty.
31:11Initially, the suspected attacker walked up to the victim, and asked to have a conversation
31:17with him, saying, I am the double chief you are looking for, come let's talk, but Albert
31:23Obase refused and replied to the attacker that, you are the one looking for me, what
31:28can happen, as Albert Obase continued to demand to know why the attacker had decided to see
31:33him, immediately, the attacker hit the victim on the face.
31:37Manchester City Police were seen alongside their vehicles shortly after the attack, but, the
31:43City Police Department is yet to issue a statement as at the time of filing in this report.
31:49Albert Obase in a Facebook live streaming on Monday early morning night at a hospital
31:54in Manchester, said that, he's currently having difficulty with hearing in one of his
31:59ears hit by the attacker.
32:01On November 5, 2025, while on live Facebook video streaming, Albert Obase had raised alarms
32:08of act of possible threat to his life by a man simply identified as double chief of Manchester
32:14who he said had threatened to beat him repeatedly if he visited Manchester to attend and
32:18organise the Obaseki thank you visit to his supporters.
32:23Also during the live video, Albert Obase narrated how he was almost attacked by some Edo youths
32:28in Italy, thus, described some Edo youths abroad as people who always act like animals.
32:35Before now, Albert Obase may have faced a lot of threats of possible attacks issued by some
32:41Edo youths who also see him as an enemy of the Benin monarch following the controversies surrounding
32:46the establishment of Museum of the West African Art, Mowar in Edo state which some youths protested
32:52and prevented the commissioning of the multi-billion Naira cultural hub last two Sunday, an act
32:58which led to foreign guests being escorted to safety by the Nigeria police force team personally
33:03led by the Edo state police commissioner.
33:06The continued verbal attacks and insults on Albert Obase and his family especially his biological
33:12parents in reactions to the political aid's statements over the controversies surrounding
33:17the Mowar establishment, made his younger brother, Smart Obase to issue a video statement in recent
33:23days and insulted his younger brother's principal, ex-governor Godwin Obaseki for allegedly endangering
33:29his brother life and bringing all manners of insults to their family even when his elder brother,
33:35Albert Obase was never given any political position during his eight years as governor of Edo state.
33:41Smart Obase asked why must it always be his brother, Albert Obase defending and receiving
33:47insults because of Obaseki, why the Obaseki's family not coming out to defend the ex-governor.
33:53Ex-governor Godwin Obaseki became an issue of concerns for some youths in Edo state after
33:59some of the youths in the state tagged the ex-governor as betrayal, saying, they were the ones that helped
34:05Obaseki to power, but, after taking over as Edo state governor, Godwin Obaseki abandoned,
34:11them and allegedly brushed them aside in the scheme of things especially in the area of tax
34:16collections from traders and commercial drivers. During the time of Godwin Obaseki, the governor put
34:22a stop to manual collection of taxes from traders and commercial drivers, and made the method of
34:28tax collections electronically, as such, some youths who violated the governor's directives,
34:34were arrested and detained for days. Some of the arrested and detained youths were members of the
34:39governor's former political party who believed they were the ones that helped Obaseki to power
34:44during his first tenure as governor of the state in the south-south geopolitical zone in Nigeria.
