maiiilooo: A 25-year-old pastor was allegedly killed hours after participating in an interfaith religious debate, with investigators reportedly treating one of the event's participants as a key suspect.
Pastor Bernard Mulongo of New Restoration Church of Christ attended an open-air Christian-Muslim dialogue in Butebo District before joining a local radio programme to continue the discussion. Threats After the Debate Fellow pastor David Omala said the atmosphere around the debate grew volatile after two Muslim women publicly converted to Christianity in the course of the proceedings. According to the Christian Post, Omala alleged that one of the Muslim participants became visibly angry following the event The imam reportedly accused Pastor Mulongo of misleading Muslims and of using the Quran to draw people towards Christianity. Mulongo had travelled to Mbale specifically for the religious event, and he believes the hostility that followed both the debate and the radio appearance may have played a role in what unfolded that night. Attack on the Road to Accommodation The deceased pastor's friend, Robert Mukisa, shared that the two were riding together on a motorcycle towards their accommodation when a group of men on motorcycles cut off their path in Jami village, roughly nine miles from Mbale. Mukisa said one of the attackers accused the pastor of drawing people away from Islam. Mukisa fled the scene and immediately alerted police. When officers and church leaders reached the location, Pastor Mulongo was found dead, bearing multiple injuries to his head, chest, back and hand. His body was transferred to Mbale City Mortuary for a postmortem examination before being released to his family for burial in Butebo District. Suspect Reportedly on the Run Sources familiar with the investigation say the imam is among those under investigation and has allegedly gone into hiding. Police launched an investigation, but no arrests had been announced at the time reports on the incident were published. The constitution protects freedom of religion, including the right to change one's faith and to practise religious beliefs openly. Mulongo's death has renewed concerns about the safety of faith leaders engaged in interfaith outreach and the broader climate of religious tolerance in the region.
Urgent1Million: The cost of printing the lower denominations viz-a-viz the value of the notes themselves makes no economic sense. After all, those notes can't even afford anything in the market. They should just phase them out and let us continue using the higher denominations. Even 100 and 200 naira will soon join their ancestors unless a responsible government with better policies takes over.
Very dull submission, so when 100 and 200 naira depreciate, we just follow your backward logic and phase them out and use 500 and 1000 naira notes.
Micolikes: Petroleum marketers have temporarily suspended large-scale fuel loading from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery following the company's decision to begin selling petroleum products in U.S. dollars. The move has created uncertainty in Nigeria's downstream oil sector, prompting the Federal Government to step in to monitor the situation and seek a resolution.
Although some marketers expressed concerns that fuel loading had slowed significantly, the Dangote Refinery dismissed reports that operations had stopped, insisting that product loading is continuing at its Lekki facility.
According to industry stakeholders, many marketers have adopted a wait-and-see approach as they seek clarity on the refinery's new pricing structure. They are also monitoring the arrival of imported petroleum products before making fresh purchases, fearing they could buy at current prices only for market rates to decline shortly afterward.
The National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Chinedu Ukadike, explained that marketers are relying on existing fuel stocks purchased at previous prices while closely watching market developments. He noted that uncertainty over future crude supply and the pricing of imported petrol has made many dealers cautious about placing new orders.
With the Federal Government now involved, industry players hope a resolution will be reached soon to prevent any disruption to fuel supply or unexpected changes in pump prices.
Do you think the Federal Government's intervention will resolve the dispute quickly, or could this situation lead to another increase in fuel prices? Share your thoughts in the comments.
mrvitalis: Police commission don’t come from recruits they come from graduate of police academy and south east has the highest entry cut off and we more than fill our slot
You won’t know this na with your level of education
Show proof that the east has the cut off highest entry.
Expanse2020: Someone reading a story book loud Which maybe scanning or proofreading only... Is that an archivment Reading a newspaper for hours doesn't different from this 🤣🤣🤣🤣 This people and there 🧠 Chaiii chaiii chaiii chaiii chaiii Antiislam Blackvsiper Lordree
Why don't you go and run errands for your parents, you don't need to be here. Now run along boy.
Ezeama400: I said from the perspective of Soludo’s son stressing himself because of his father’s property in Africa when he’s British,, Oyibo lives a simple life, same thing applicable to children born here.. They don’t care about kill or being too dubious because of property..
I live in the west.. Don’t lecture me..
You sound extremely du.ll, you are not the only one in the west.
WorkTheTalk: You don't know history. The Igbos were the most educated then, which made them thrive beyond the eastern region. From day one, the Fulani north were not comfortable with the Igbos. So at what point did the Igbos get into alliance with the North?
Exousiang01: Una go dey encourage rubbish. I am sure his parents would have told him to do this. His parents got a consent form and they signed it knowing where the child was going. The child was also fully aware he was going to a mosque.
If you don't want your child join joining in the activities in the mosque, then your child should not go for the visit. Or if you must do, you stand outside. The child couldn't have been forced to attend the visit.
But going into the mosque and doing this is disrespectful. I am a Christian, I will find it insulting if a Muslim attends my church and disrespects the doctrine. We christains are just something else.
Watch some come at me with terrorism now
LoL lack of exposure is at play here. First of all your comparison is something I would expect from Peter Obis adviser at Upper Iweka.
His parents got a consent form and signed the consent form. Are you saying his parents don't know what a mosque is? You are saying his parents don't know what people do in a mosque? You are saying the boy and his parents are hearing about a mosque for the first time?
LoL
Don't be naive,Muslims are worst of creation. They will walk all over you church and claim nothing will happen. A muslim girl refused to shake hands with a bank MD once in this Nigeria and Muslims stood with her, but here we have tiny brains like you talking from both sides of the mouth.
