James Paul Adama, the Convener of the Concerned Christian Youth Forum, has described as untrue the recent claim by Reno Omokri that the warrant of arrest issued against him by a court has been quashed.

Recall that the court, presided over by His Worship, Chief Emmanuel A. Iyanna, issued the remand warrant against Omokri through an ex-parte motion filed by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, on January 13, 2025, for defaming Christianity and harassing religious leaders online.

However, Omokri, in a post on his Facebook page, claimed that the order had been vacated by the court.

The Concerned Christian Youth Forum, which launched the petition, said Reno’s claim is false and misleading.

Adama, in a statement on Monday, said that contrary to Omokri’s claim, Pastor Paul Enenche never at any point initiated or filed any legal case against him.

He vowed that the group's primary goal is to put an end to the disparaging remarks and cyberbullying directed at Christianity and its leaders.

His statement reads:

“I am here today to correct a false assertion made by Reno Omokri and his legal team regarding the claim that his remand warrant was quashed. It is simply untrue and has been made with the intention of creating a deceptive narrative.

“It is important to set the record straight and to ensure that the public is not misled by this misinformation. The matter is ongoing.

“To clarify the matter and set the records straight, contrary to Reno's misleading claims in his malicious report, Dr. Paul Enenche has never at any point initiated or filed any legal case against him.

“The case in question was brought forward by the concerned Christian youths, not Dr. Enenche, and we have already addressed this fact in our previous media conferences.

“Reno must take responsibility for his actions and face the concerned Christian youth, who are the rightful parties in this matter.

“I am perplexed as to why Reno Omokri and his lawyer would attempt to deceive the public by claiming that the magistrate dismissed his case.

“The truth of the matter is that Reno Omokri is still facing legal proceedings, and the claim that his remand warrant has been quashed or that he has been cleared of any wrongdoing is false.

“This misrepresentation of facts is typical of Omokri's modus operandi, as he has long sought to subvert the truth in order to suit his own agenda.

“The fact remains that the absence of Reno Omokri's name from the FIR is merely a procedural issue and does not absolve him of any wrongdoing. As the legal process moves forward, it will be up to the courts to determine the veracity of the allegations and deliver justice accordingly. I have obtained the CTC of the court ruling of that day, and it is contrary to the assertion being peddled by Reno Omokri and his co-traveler.

“The misguided ploy of Omokri and his cohort amounts to little more than a desperate attempt to divert attention from the stark reality. This is to remind Reno Omokri that no matter how far he runs, the long arm of the law will, inevitably, catch up with him.

“The Concerned Christian Youth Forum, mindful of this truth, will pursue legal recourse through established channels, confident that the justice system will shine a light on Reno's unscrupulous tactics.”

A host of prominent Nigerians, including billionaire businessman Obi Cubana, Mr. Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, popularly known as Zenco, and Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin of Mercy City, Warri, recently joined governors, senators, and other dignitaries in celebrating consultant and lobbyist Tamar Forteta on his 28th birthday.

Forteta, who serves as a Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor, received an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages as he marked the milestone.

The celebration saw notable figures taking to social media to felicitate with Forteta.

Among them was Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, who shared a heartfelt message:

“Happy birthday my dear Son, Tamar Forteta. Here is to wish you long life, good health, and prosperity in all your numerous adventures. The God of Prophet Jeremiah is with you now and always. Congratulations, honorable.”

Billionaire entrepreneur Obi Cubana and MC Oluomo Jr. also joined in extending their good wishes, alongside cash gifts and visits from various high-profile personalities.

Speaking on the overwhelming show of love, Forteta expressed gratitude to all who celebrated him: “The love was overwhelming. The calls, the messages, the visits, the social media posts—I can’t name them all,” he said.

Forteta also revealed receiving generous cash gifts from several individuals, including his mentor, Mr Zenco, whom he described as a significant influence in his life.

“How do I thank them enough? It is just God,” he added.

Tamar Forteta’s journey into politics began early. Discovered and groomed by Senator James Manager at the age of 17, he has since established himself as a young leader with a promising future.

A graduate of the University of Benin, where he studied Banking and Finance, Forteta is recognized for his contributions to Delta State and beyond, earning him a strong network of influential supporters and well-wishers.

A mild drama unfolded in Abuja on Tuesday as some youths openly confronted a member of the House of Representatives from Bayelsa, Fred Agbedi, who claimed to have been in power for about 32 years.

IDOMA VOICE gathered that the youths slammed him for holding tightly to power, questioning whether there are no other qualified individuals in Bayelsa who can take over the seat.

The incident occurred at Merit House during an interactive conference on electoral reform titled Setting the Agenda, organized by the Civil Society Coalition for Sustainable Development.

During the question-and-answer session, the youths became angry and urged the lawmaker to step aside and allow others to take over.

“Hon, if I listened you correctly, you said you have been in the office for 32 years. Tell, what is the benefits of the people of Bayelsa to your administration? And why is it that for 32 years, you are still in office? Is is that the people of Bayelsa cannot produce a suitable youth or another person to take your office?

Another angry you said, “Sir, you have no right to remain in office. Hon Fred, 32 years, that was before I was born and you have been in office. The first time I heard about you was two years ago when your mother died. The other time was when there was a fire outbreak at Karu Market, where you came to make promises. If not for today, nobody would know you.”

As the situation became tense, the moderator quickly interjected and stopped the confrontation.

The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has stated that the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) compromised Nigeria’s 2023 elections.

Amadi, a former Executive Chairman and CEO of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), argued that it was INEC officials who rigged the 2023 election, not the All Progressives Congress (APC), as widely believed.

He made this comment on Tuesday in Abuja during an interactive conference on electoral reform titled “Setting the Agenda,” held at Merit House and organized by the Civil Society Coalition for Sustainable Development.

Amadi said, “There is no lesson to learn from the last election in Ghana. Everything Ghana did right, we could also do. For example, we have improved in the timely delivery of electoral materials and in margin logistics.

“We have a much more bankable and digitalized electoral register. So we’ve got everything right. But what we failed to get right is the fact that our electoral commission is partisan.

“Essentially, you are organizing elections in a third-world country where digital illiteracy is still a challenge, and where openness and transparency are lacking.

“For instance, many of us don’t even know the salaries of national assembly members. Elsewhere, this kind of information is uploaded and easily accessible.

“Expenditure oversight is also critical. Money is receipted, spent, and verified by oversight offices. Many legislators in the UK have been sacked for spending public funds on luxury hotels instead of moderate accommodations or for giving money to girlfriends or family members.

“Similarly, in the United States, many lawmakers have been prosecuted for campaign finance violations. Donations meant for campaigns have been traced to their families. These examples show better transparency abroad. Crucially, they do not appoint partisan individuals to their electoral bodies.

“Here, we give the president the power to appoint his brothers, party members, and loyalists to the electoral commission, and then we expect accurate reporting after the votes are counted. Or that they will not switch off the server during the process.

“We could have had a perfect election in 2023, but we didn’t because the INEC chairman and his members essentially rigged the election.

“I have said it before: APC didn’t rig the election; INEC rigged it.”

Nigeria's oldest Catholic priest, Thomas Oleghe, has passed away at the age of 104.

According to a statement by Gabriel Dunia, the Bishop of Auchi, Oleghe died at approximately 2:30 am on Sunday.

The statement reads, "With gratitude to God for a life well lived on earth I hereby inform you of the passage of the Rt. Rev. MSGR Thomas Oleghe the oldest Catholic priest in Nigeria as at today, to the great beyond at about 2.30am this morning on the 24th of November, 2024.

"He is of the Diocese of Auchi. He died at the age of 104. May his lovely and gentle soul continue to rest in perfect peace. Amen."

IDOMA VOICE gathered that the late priest will be laid to rest on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.

Bishop David Abioye, immediate past first vice president of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, has shed light on why he launched a new ministry just months after retirement from office.

Bishop Abioye’s retirement aligns with the operational guidelines of the Living Faith Church, as detailed in its mandate.

IDOMA VOICE recalls that shortly afterward, the revered cleric unveiled plans for a new spiritual platform titled Hour of Revival.

The maiden edition of the Hour of Revival took place on Saturday at the Velodrome of the National Stadium in Abuja, drawing a large crowd of participants from diverse backgrounds.

Addressing the attendees, Bishop Abioye emphasized that the initiative was a divine directive.

Bishop Abioye further clarified that the revival platform is not his personal project but an ordained mission by God.

He called on participants to embrace personal revival as a pathway to corporate revival, expressing his hope that everyone in attendance would be transformed into fire-catchers and fire-spreaders.

The Hour of Revival, which is open to both saved and unsaved individuals, serves as an interdenominational prayer platform to rekindle spiritual fire and inspire personal and collective renewal.

Promising lawyer and activist Barrister Mark Ofikwu has been murdered.

IDOMA VOICE gathered that the lawyer was shot dead Wednesday night around his house on Otukpa Street in Otukpo.

The Benue State Police Command has confirmed the tragic killing of prominent Otukpo-based lawyer and activist, Mark Ofikwu, who was shot dead by unidentified gunmen on Wednesday night in Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State.

Superintendent Catherine Anene, the Police Public Relations Officer, expressed condolences to the family and friends of the deceased, assuring the public that a thorough investigation was underway. “Justice will be served,” she pledged.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the incident occurred around 8 PM at the entrance of Ofikwu’s residence on Otukpa Street.
According to eyewitness accounts, Ofikwu had just returned home from work and was waiting for his gate to open when two armed men in a vehicle approached and shot him at close range before fleeing the scene.

An eyewitness, who preferred to remain anonymous, described the attack as shocking and cinematic. “He had just arrived home and was waiting for the gate to open when the gunmen, who seemed to have been tailing him, drove up and shot him.
“The sound of the gunshot drew people to the scene, but he had already lost a lot of blood by the time he was rushed to the hospital,” the source recounted.
Barrister Ofikwu was the lead counsel to Ralph Odoh, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 House of Representatives election in Enone.

Tithe: Reno Omokri Under Fire For Calling Pastor Becky Enenche Yahoo Girl

The Nigeria Youths Frontiers and Peace Advocates (NYFPA) has knocked social media activist, Reno Omokri for his recent comments about Nigerian clerics, particularly Pastor Becky Enenche of Dunamis International Gospel Centre.

Omokri recently referred to Pastor Enenche as a “Yahoo girl on the altar,” sparking outrage among members of the Christian community.

His comment came after the Pastor harped on the essence of paying tithes.

However, the NYFPA described Omokri’s remarks as “inflammatory, baseless, and deeply irresponsible,” adding that they were unbecoming of someone who presents himself as a political activist and public commentator.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Samuel Geofrey, the group said, “Reno Omokri’s statements are an affront to millions of Nigerians who revere their faith and spiritual leaders.

“His choice of words reflects a profound lack of respect for Christianity and the principles of dialogue and mutual understanding in a civilized society.”

The NYFPA further criticized Omokri’s controversial public record, pointing to alleged inconsistencies in his career, personal life, and political affiliations.

It accused him of using divisive rhetoric to maintain relevance, often at the expense of unity and constructive discourse.

NYFPA reaffirmed its commitment to promoting truth, justice, and peace, urging Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and focus on building a society rooted in mutual respect and understanding.

“Omokri’s statements represent not only an attack on Pastor Becky Enenche but also an affront to the millions of Nigerians who hold their faith and spiritual leaders in high esteem.

“His choice of words betrays a profound lack of respect, not only for Christianity but for the principles of dialogue and mutual respect that underpin a civilized society.

“It is unfortunate that Omokri, who portrays himself as a moral and political compass, has a history marred by inconsistency, self-serving motives, and a penchant for stirring unnecessary controversies,” the statement said.

Activist and lawyer, Deji Adeyanji, has fired back at FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, over his recent claim against him.

Wike had, during a press conference, accused Deji of staging a protest against him because he refused to support his ambition to become PDP national publicity secretary.

Responding, Adeyanju described Wike as a looter whose mouth is perpetually on the feeding bottle of Nigeria.

He said, “This man (Wike) has never worked anywhere. His only address is looting public resources and public patrimony. Look at the way he's grabbing land in the FCT all over the place and giving it to his friends; he's grabbing even parks. For close to three decades, I have, at the personal expense of my life, been active in criticizing the government. I've put my own personal freedom on the line; Buhari arrested me almost 11 or 12 times in 8 years. When Wike was having a field day looting Rivers' money.

“I don't know where he got this idea that he's now an elder statesman for making noise all over the place. Wike is just 11 years older than me. And maybe it's because he's not looking like he's older than Tinubu and Buhari combined. That's why he now feels like an old man. He's an ancient of days.

“This man has never worked anywhere. From a motor garage as a tout, he became a local government chairman. In fact, he promised me that he was going to support me.

“Wike is one of the reasons allegedly why the former CJN was removed from office. He kept going around saying that he had the judiciary in his pocket and was mentioning names. So the only difference between him and Portable is that when you do something with Portable, at least Portable will not go against you and betray you. But no matter what you do for Wike, he will betray you.”

A few weeks after his resignation from the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Abioye is set to begin a new ministry.

Bishop Abioye’s retirement aligns with the guidelines in the Mandate—the operational manual of the Living Faith Church, popularly known as Winners Chapel.

On Thursday, the cleric announced a new programme, Hour of Revival, to be held outside the church.

IDOMA VOICE observed that the crusade, themed Revive Us Again, is scheduled for November 23 and 30, 2023, at the National Stadium Velodrome in Abuja.

At a recent valedictory service held in his honour at Goshen Camp in Nasarawa State, Bishop Abioye expressed no regrets about serving under his mentor and leader, Bishop David Oyedepo.

A longstanding figure in the ministry, Bishop Abioye first connected with Bishop Oyedepo in 1979 and has since served as his trusted right-hand man.

Speaking in a recent documentary released on his YouTube channel, Bishop Abioye shared that it was time to expand his ministry but affirmed he would maintain close communication with Bishop Oyedepo and the Living Faith Family.
