If Obi gets NC, SS and SE, he will win the election. No two ways about it

So Benue alone is NC to you which he is not even sure of winning

dominique:
They were both governors around the same time. What makes him think he's politically superior to Peter Obi that he cannot become his vice?

He is more experienced than obi in politics. He was Minister as well as senator, which cannot be said of obi

The Department of State Security (DSS) has raided a house located at JMDB quarters, in the Tudun Wada community of Jos North LGA of Plateau State, where the operatives rescued 21 young people, including almajirai.

The Jama'atu Nasril Islam (JNI), while confirming the incident, told Daily Trust that the rescued victims told the group during interrogation that they were forcefully brought to the house and converted to Christianity.

The General Secretary of the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), Rev. Yunusa Nmadu, said the house which was raided by the DSS was under the custody of the church but denied that it was used to convert people to Christianity, adding the claim should be discarded.

Daily Trust reports that the DSS raided the house on June 14, and recovered the victims, who were said to have been brought to Jos from another state.

The raid of the house, according to the JNI's Director Aid Group Plateau State chapter, and Chief Security Officer, Jos Central Mosque, Danjuma Khalid, came after one of the victims, Abdulrahman Usaini, who escaped from the house, reported that they had been camped in the house for eight months.

Khalid said the DSS operatives raided the house following JNI's report.

"On June 13, a group of people including Abdulrahman who ran away from the house met me here in the Central Mosque saying that they had come to report an issue regarding forceful adoption and conversion of their pupils to Christianity by ECWA Church in Jos.

"While narrating the incident, the escapee told me that he and one other, Nura Usama, were forcefully taken by some individuals in a Camry Toyota Car from Gombe, to ECWA headquarters, Jos, and after being documented, they were later taken to a house at Tudun Wada, where they were camped, and that he had ran away, leaving his brother, Nura at the house.

"On June 14, we reported the case to the DSS, Plateau State command, and the escapee narrated to the DSS how they were taken from Gombe to Jos and how he escaped from the house in Tudun Wada area. Immediately after we reported the matter, the DSS swung into action. The operatives of the command went to the house in Tudun Wada alongside the escapee, stormed the premises and rescued 21 children."

He said when the victims were brought to the DSS State Command, two of the victims - Abdulrahman Usaini and Nura Usama - were handed over to JNI, the uncle to Abdulrahman, and their teacher, while the remaining victims were left under the custody of the DSS until their parents or relatives were found.

How we were brought from Gombe to Jos - Abdulrahman

Abdulrahman, who is originally from Azare, in Bauchi State, said he was taken to Gombe town for Qur'anic school, from where he was taken to ECWA Church in Jos.

He said sometime in October 2021, while returning to his school located around Pantami area, they were called by some individuals who asked them to wash their car (a Toyota Camry), but they told them that it was already night, but they were immediately shoved into the car.

"They took us to ECWA Church Tumfure, in Gombe, and we spent three weeks there. They told us on the last day of the three weeks that we should get ready to travel to Jos. By 4am of that very day, we were already on the road and by 9am, we arrived at the ECWA Headquarters in Jos. I didn't know Jos; that was my first time of coming to Jos.

"We told them to take us back to Gombe because our parents didn't know our whereabouts. They refused, and a day after, they moved us to a house in Tudun Wada where we spent eight months. Throughout the period, we were taught Christian religious knowledge. We were taught different subjects that have to do with Christianity, but we were well taken care of. Whatever you needed, they provided us with it. Food was always available.

"After spending six weeks, we were taken to ECWA Good News located around Ahmadu Bello Way for church service and other church activities."

Abdulrahman further said on June 13, he was able to escape from the house after he scaled the fence and ran to the town, pleading with people to help him return to Azare in Bauchi State. He was later taken to the Chairman of Cabbage section of Faringada Market, Adamu Alhaji Adamu, who also hails from Azare town.

Those found were not forcefully brought to the house - ECWA

The Secretary General of the Church, while responding to the matter, told Daily Trust that those who were found in the house were not forcefully brought there as claimed by the victims, saying the claims were probably made to tarnish the image of the church. He said the church was not converting anybody to Christianity.

He said: "There is nothing close to that. ECWA is a global organisation and is involved in a lot of projects. We have healthcare institutions, spiritual welfare, empowerment and so on.

"That house that was raided is one of the places we have and used it to help people irrespective of their ethno-religious affiliations. The place is just like a school where somebody has to bring you. We don't accept anybody below 18 years. We charged people money for admitting you into the school. We train them on different businesses. You will spend one year before you graduate."

Asked if the DSS told the church why they raided the house and rescued 21 persons, the secretary general said: "The DSS may be in the best position to respond to this question. They probably don't know what the house is meant for and you know that DSS will not tell you everything."

On the issue of the escapee (Abdulrahman) and his brother, Nura Usama, who were brought from Gombe, Rev. Nmadu said: "The two of them don't have to run because they have been there for seven months. One of the policies of the house is that whoever is tired of the programme, he can leave at his will. He has no reason to run because we were not the ones that brought him."

Asked how much is being charged for enrolment into the programme, said he did not know. "There is someone who should know much about the registration fee. It is a global organisation. So, we have lots of institutions. I only know that the place is being run, but I can't give you the details of the registration fee."

He also said he did not know those who brought the two brothers to the house from Gombe. "I won't know because I am not working with the students and I don't know much about what the DSS found after interrogating the two persons you are talking about."

They left home since October last year -- Victims' teacher

Malam Muhammad Misbahu, a resident of Bomala community in Akko LGA of Gombe State, who is the teacher of Abdulrahman and Nura in Gombe, explained how the students who were brought to him to acquire Qur'anic knowledge disappeared since October last year.

He said: "Between October 15 and 20 last year, we tried all we could to find out their whereabouts but couldn't. I called their parents in Azare to ask if they had travelled home without my consent, and they told me that none of them had returned. We were worried and engaged in prayers."

Misbahu said on June 13, he was called that his students had been found and the DSS wanted to see him to ensure the affected victims were really his students.

"When I arrived in Jos, myself, the director of JNI Aid Group, and Adamu Alhaji Adamu, an uncle to Abdulrahman, went to the DSS command in Jos. We were told that my students including other people were found in a house in Tudun Wada. They handed them to us on the condition that whenever the DSS is looking for them, I will come along with them, and I agreed."

Efforts to get official confirmation of the operation from the DSS headquarters in Abuja proved abortive as calls to the mobile phone of the spokesman, Peter Afunanya, were declined.

He directed one of our correspondents to send a text message or WhatsApp message, but none of the messages was replied to when this report was filed.

Amotekun777:
Dis Kwankwaso abi na gongoso should settle as Obi V.P na, he dey craze ni?

What an insult to kwankwanso. God forbid

Stargangz:
Sebi our population na 200m+ , make dem give each person $1m nah, d money go still remain around $100m. Dis govment people no go die well, money wey be say dem don share among themselves tey tey

Bro do the calculations again

BaddestQueen:
lol person wey his tenure remain not less than 6 months
dude doesn't know that as days pass, his power as a democratic president gets weaker and it diminishes once there's a president-elect.

I remembered how Trump was denied entry by ordinary Scotland in his last days in office.

FYI Buhari still has 11 month to deal with cownu

akanbiaa:
Okay
6 people not bad.

Na chinedu and chidera close their shop to waste their time

Akurakambe:
Peter Obi is a master strategist. The OBIdient FC campaign will shake this country.

God bless Peter Obi, the incoming president of Nigeria.
Vote for Peter Obi
Vote for LabourParty

Zoo president

snapshot:
Then make him rest,he is as handicapped in the South as Obi is in the North,he can never be Nigeria's president without a strong Southern alliance

And you think the Pandora thief can ever be Nigeria's president without Northern alliance?

joelag:
Obi fans will start to attack Kwakwanso now.

They have already started right in this thread. Their disposition is predictable

Goodnigga:
hmm. And he will do nothing for himself to be a president?

And do you think the Pandora thief can do something for himself to become a president?
Mind you, the thief is the least experienced among the presidential aspirants

buckeyemedia:
Yoruba man Bola Tinubu & APC will not win 1 State in Northern Nigeria, no reasonable minded person from the South South or South East will vote for Bola Tinubu a Yoruba Man, he has nothing to offer us.

Better the devil you know in Tafawa Balewa, Shehu Shagari, Yaradua, as much as things change, they tend to remain the same, next in line is Abubakar Atiku, the status quo remains.

Only Yoruba will vote for Bola Tinubu.

And do you think the Pandora Chinese lying machine stand a chance to win any other state outside SE? Obi is a flatron project whose supporters are only ipob

nairavsdollars:
And Obi won't serve as his running mate too

It is degrading for kwankwanso to be a VP for a flaty

TheOldGods:
Things are now so easy, I've never voted in Nigeria before, but today I broke that yoke and registered my pvc on-line. And also changed my poling unit online to a ward very close to my house. As an Igbo man, for the first time I feel there is a reason to vote. I've sent this to over 30 of friends and they have all registered.

FlyingKing:
Congrats to the winner with aggressive inducement of the voters

Same way Soludo aggressively induced voters in Anambara

FalseProphet1:
I don't see this as a problem.

Kwankwaso can easily talk to his supporters to move to LP. When Rochas won the governorship election under APGA, we defected to APC and carried his supporters with him, Dave of Ebonyi state did the same thing, he went to APC with his supporters.

Kwankwaso is highly respected in the North, he can talk to all his supporters and aspirants to defect to LP and support his vision.

It's not an issue, cos we've seen it play out so many times.

You didn't understand. The point here is about those who contested for various positions under the party like governorship, senatorial, house of representatives candidates etc. Would they forfeit their candidacies in their current parties? The case of Umahi and Rochas is different from this one because they were already elected representatives.

Nonso92:
This is nonsense, water is a conductor of electricity. If there's water in that bucket, and he opens the shower for the water to pour on him, with the boiling ring plugged in electricity, that dude is dead and gone

How will he starts using the water while the electricity is on

airsaylongcome:
God! Too many nonsense written here in attempts to sound like hackers. Good Lord. Someone says Symmetric Encryption aka Private Key encryption is a one way encryption!

I was not the only one that noticed this nonsense

Truthisunique2:
He however distanced himself from the rumours, stressing that the carriers were undemocratic elements

mach7 hope you dey hear

We have an alternative in Atiku to console ourselves in the north. Simple

Onetenth:
I think it's high time every citizen in Nigeria wants to troop out and vote their preferred candidate for 2023 elections. We need to vote what our hearts wants and getting the PVC is the first important step.

Everyone has started doing their part because they still love their fatherland, we all can't JAPA because we can't afford the bills or probably we can't leave some of our loved ones behind. So what's the way forward to make our dear nation Great again? Voting the right candidate is the answer.

The youths eyes are now cleared, they all want to vote for their choice. And as a Nigeria youth who is also a young father, who wants the best for himself and his born and unborn children, I will be donating my dad's church as a PVC center if it is needed from INEC.

Any information or suggestions regarding this idea will be highly welcome.

Let's all join hands together and fight to regain our dear nation from bad, corrupt and tribalistic leaders.

This should be in front page for wider audience

Nonsense, so you want to Christianize pvc registration to become a Christian thing. Did inec say they don't have offices and poling units? Let the traditionist donate their shrine too for pvc collection and registration.

IKBARUTEN11:
Yesterday, our man of God announced that INEC officials will be within the church premises to do voters' card registration, collection and transfer of polling units of voters.

Nigerians are waking up to the realities of the situation in the country

It is a ploy to Christianize pvc registeration. We no go gree

Kyase:
You don't know me, I was called Muslim on many occasion in here, but this country is balanced, between Muslim and Christian.
Reason why Abiola was denied the presidency was because of this same thing APC wants to do..
But if you want to test the northern Christians popularity, then carry on
Mind you, I'm a card carrying member of APC

Yes, even esn commander will say he is a card carrying member of APC behind keyboard

kayusely70:
Those were the good old days! But it can backfire today!

Did it backfire in Kaduna? More than this was said about KD during 2019 election.

Biodun556:
It is the same Nigeria. If Northern christian becomes Nigerian president in future, and the slot of the vice belongs to south east, will the Ibos allow ibo Muslim to represent them as the vice president?

You are absolutely right. Let the hypocrite come out and answer this question

OmovuduTheBeast:
Shamess cheap paid miscreants have started doing the bidding of their corrupt useless idiotic pay masters.

Sister make we listen to this Baba. He is right unless if we can turn blind to truth. Let our youth listen to his words of wisdom.

Flier:
I am just having sympathy for you and i because peddling Obi wont give us the chance to ask the big two what they have for us and that will make us to end up with the most useless of the two

This baba is right unless if we can turn blind to truth. Let our youth listen to your words of wisdom.

Flier:
You have a chance to select now,otherwise you will end up with TINUBU if you wanted Atiku or Atiku if you prefer TINUBU
We just have no choice
Obi is just a spoiler for either of the two,Obi stand no chance.A single state in the north has more votes than entire south east so we should forget this obi of a thing

You are right to some extent but obi is spoiler to Atiku only

Udoboss:
It seems you forget that North central are populated by Christians

Maybe we have two North Central in this country. The only states in the nc that are populated by Christians are plateau and Benue. Niger, kogi, kwara, and Nassarawa are largely Muslims. Christians will never allow a Muslim governor in a state where they are majority.
