The house of God is now under constant attack by Islamic Terrorist who have sworn to inflict sorrow upon the children of God....

This is a Jihad & the children of God needs to awaken their consciousness to defend their faith just as Isreal is doing against the infidel Hamas
And what is Jesus doing to protect his people in church?. He's powerless right?.


Your life is so miserable to the extent that you can't have peace of mind without mentioning Islam or Muslim in such incident. Where in this article Islam is mentioned?.

Hate Is Real..

Just stop that accusation there.

Your video evidence certainly was conincidental in that those captured at thst very moment were those who you accused. But you do not know Ogwashi uku and other areas more than us here.

I wonder how you people are easily able to attribute all the problems in Asaba, Ogwashi uku and their environs to people on the other side of the Niger.

For your information, Ogwashi uku was a peaceful town until Ogwashi uku polytechnic was restored there. Cultism and other crimes largely were restricted to Warri, Sapele, Abraka because of the university and Agbor because of the college of education. The same went for Asaba and the challenge Asaba faced and still faces is cultism. Do you want to overlook the menace of trouser sagging yahoo boys all over Asaba, Igbuzor, Okpanam, Ogwashi uku, Isele Azagba, Isele Uku and Kwale. In Kwale, go and ask the actions taken by the community over yahoo boys menace.

Development and such infrastructures come with their own disadvantages. With people of the area selling lands at cheaper rates, people from all over the places bought and built. Ogwashi uku for example has people speaking different languages, as against the Ogwashi Igbo only which was predominant up till the early 2000s.

Asaba in its capacity as the state capital, has citizens of all parts of the state owning properties there. The same goes for Okpanam road area, which is now the symbol of the beauty of the state capital. Everyone owns properties there, irrespective of tribe and religion. Asaba started facing the challenges of crime long ago. It started with selling of lands to different people and guns shots everywhere. The advent of yahoo brought its challenge along with cultism.

Growth brought crimes, originating from inside the polytechnic in Ogwashi uku. With different cult groups came armed robbery, and now kidnapping, just like it happened in Abraka and Agbor. Abraka was a very fierce area in the 90s, with cultism/robbery with some students spending as much as 14 years to graduate.

So in Ogwashi uku, it was the students and their friends from different locations. Now it has gone beyond that with people from different parts of Ogwashi uku and other areas included. Ubulu uku, a very peaceful town had one of its Obis hacked to death by allegedly Fulani herdsmen.

Again, many of the agberos around the bridgehead there are Igbos of Delta state, who speak what is termed central Igbo. If in doubt, please visit the area between Oko junction and Asaba head bridge to find out.

Now I am not in anyway exonerating anyone. But I simply think that it is inappropriate to generalize those who commit crimes in the areas mentioned by you.

The governor of Delta state has to wake up to his responbilities in the state. He appears to overlook Delta north. Hopefully he can be proactive as Mr. Soludo in Anambra state.
Are you a joker? How often do kidnappings happen in Delsu? How long has the poly been in Ogwashi? Why was it until a few months back that this whole thing started?

As you can see, after kidnapping and killing this Anambra lawmaker, where did they run to hide? Asaba

It's a serious problem and the governor is not concerned about this security issue.
If he continues like this, PDP will lose in the next election. He is just too slow.

Maybe they warned the pastor from disturbing the peace of the neighborhood but he refused with their phantom night vigil and miracle hours......

Now one militant warlord is angry with the pastorpreneur 😁

Some of the Pastors will use the guns for selfish purposes and misquote and misinterprete Jesus message.

If the killers of the late Hon Azuka were from the other side of the river, how does it equate to your claim that such criminals are Fulanis and South easterners only?


Ogwashi Uku Polytechnic as it was originally called was established way back in 1983 and closed down in 1986.

It was reopened and became the Delta State Polytechnic Ogwashi-Uku, as established by Law, 2002, under James Ibori as the governor.

There was absolute peace and quiet in Ogwashi uku and environs from that year, until students started filing up the place. Building hostels began and cultists/criminals of all forms invaded Ogwashi uku.

So for your information criminal activities did not start “a few months back”, as you said. It has been on going for close to twenty years and citizens of Ogwashi uku and neighboring communities have been lamenting about it.

Once again, tell your governor to be pro active about crimes in not just Asaba and Ogwashi uku, but the whole of Delta state.

Your link is not necessary because it proves nothing.

Note the names of the two criminals who escaped:

1.Ikemefuna Ossai from Delta State

2. Chinedu Okoli from Imo State.

At least, there won't be crying and wailing to the UN, ICC and US that Nigerian Muslims are exterminating Nigerian Christians.

Abducting only six among the worshipers after raining bullets?

This story is...
Drugs. Those criminals are always on hard drugs, you don't expect them to be rational thinkers. They would kill the rich husband and abduct the wife grin grin

All, but one were from the East. Kidnapping is a recent thing here in Delta. I wonder why you're putting up a case for your brothers. It. Changes nothing in our minds over here.

So now you have evidence that your brothers in Delta north participated.

If kidnapping is a recent thing in Delta state then note four things:

1. You are not from Delta state as you claim.
2. You are from Delta state and yet far from Delta state.
3. You are one of those who visit home once in 20 years.
4. You do not have an idea what’s happening in Delta state.

My advise is that you simply ask those who know more about Delta state to tell you more. You can also ask an elderly person for more information. By the way, if you have no one to ask either in Ogwashi uku or Asaba, I can give you people to call. Again, if you visit you may see me to take you around to see for yourself.

For your information, just as happened in Anambra state, Igbuzo people have taken their own step.

Cheers.

Little kid, I've been living in Asaba for 14 years. I moved to Abakaliki, Abuja, Akwa Ibom, and Nasarawa, but I've been here for the past 6 years without traveling.

Out of 7, only one is from Delta, but the rest are from the east, but came to hide in Asaba, what's your defense?
Re: Gunmen Shoot Pastor, Kidnap 6 Worshippers In Delta Church by Nnamdipapa(m): 12:45am On Feb 24, 2025
If they were in a vigil praying to God, is it out of place to as why god failed to protect them since they would never have been kidnapped had they been in their homes?

Thank you grandma/grandpa for calling me a kid.

If you lived in Asaba for 14 years and turned yourself into Ajala the traveler, going around Nigeria and then returning since six years ago, how does that show that you have knowledge of events within and around Asaba and Ogwashi uku? Not having knowledge of when Ogwashi uku polytechnic came about is more than enough evidence that you know nothing about Ogwashi uku.

Maybe you need to meet me physically to determine if you are within my age bracket.

Having found that one out of the suspects is from your state, is that not enough to show you that criminals abound in Delta state?

Instead of wasting your time in debating what you know nothing about, why not ask those who are better informed?
