Pastors and members caught fighting in Assemblies of God church in Enugu
There was tension at the Assemblies of God Church on Mount Street, off Agbani-Road, Enugu State, as rival groups clashed over access to the church.
The church had been locked on police orders following a disagreement on the alleged transfer of a new pastor two months ago. To avert a clash, factions were told to hold their services in the compound.
Consequently, the compound was divided into two; the groups erected canopies and hold parallel services.
It took the intervention of the senior pastor, Rev. Amaechi Agbo, who leads a faction, to stop angry members from disrupting the service of the other group.
The faction has vowed not to allow “strangers” take over their place of worship. The group recognised Dr. Chidi Okoroafor, said to have been ordained the new general overseer, as their leader.
Agbo said trouble started on July 19 “when a member, claiming to be a lawyer but championing illegality and unlawfulness, imported Nathan Udeze to overthrow me.
“We reported to the police and went to court; the police advised us to lock the church and we did. We started worshiping outside and they sought court order to open the church.
“They did not allow the court decide before coming last Monday and broke the school’s entrance. Today (Sunday), they broke the church’s entrance, contrary to the agreement we reached with the police to wait for the court to decide.”
Expressing anger at the police handling of the matter, Rev. Agbo said: “I called the DPO to inform him that these people have broken into the church, he urged us to maintain peace and told me to see him by 2pm. I don’t know what he meant by that; these people broke into the school and today, into the church and the police are watching them”.
On the claim that he had been transferred, he said: “I am still in charge of this place; I came here on April 12 , 2013 and till date, I remain the senior pastor.”
“We are shocked at what happened today; if we had gone inside, there would have been bloodshed. I thank God that my members refused to confront them in the face of such provocation because something terrible would have happened here today.
“We are calling on law enforcement agencies to do the needful and avert trouble,” Rev. Agbo said.
But leader of the second faction, Rev. Paul Nathan Udeze, said he remained the authentic priest in charge of the church. He denied forcing his way into the church. [The Nation]

TikTok returns to Google, Apple U.S. app stores amid legal scrutiny

Apple and Google are restoring TikTok to their app stores nearly a month after a federal ban temporarily removed the popular social media app, preventing new downloads in the U.S.
The reinstatement comes amid ongoing uncertainty over TikTok’s future in the United States, as lawmakers and the Trump administration continue to debate national security concerns tied to its Chinese ownership.
Apple’s decision to reinstate TikTok came after receiving a letter from the Justice Department, according to a report by Bloomberg.
It remains unclear exactly what the letter said, but Apple was reportedly assured by the Trump administration that there would be no immediate enforcement of the ban.
As of Thursday evening, however, the app was still not visible on the App Store for some users.
The app, owned by the Beijing-based company ByteDance, also reappeared on the Google Play Store, allowing new users to download it for the first time since the ban went into effect.
While existing users were able to continue using the platform, its removal from app stores last month signaled a major escalation in the government’s efforts to push ByteDance to sell TikTok to a U.S. company.

‘It’s Christ over earthly possession’ — Judikay ends rift with EeZee Conceptz

Judikay, the Nigerian gospel singer, has announced her decision to step away from the controversy surrounding her former record label, EeZee Conceptz.
In June 2024, Judikay petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu, the founder of EeZee Conceptz.
She accused Ezekiel and his label of falsifying accounts and committing theft against her to the tune of £800,000.
The label founder was recently charged by the EFCC for the alleged exploitation of the gospel singer.
However in an Instagram post on Saturday, the ‘Capable God’ hitmaker said she has decided to “walk away” from the drama and prioritize the greater good and unity of the body of Christ.
She expressed her gratitude to her colleagues, family, and fellow believers for their support “during this period”.
“After prayerful consideration, I have made the deliberate decision to walk away from this entire drama and I choose to prioritise the greater good and unity of the body of Christ,” she wrote.
“My role as a member of the body of Christ takes precedence and I willingly make this sacrifice, drawing strength from the knowledge that Christ is of far greater worth than any earthly possession or vindication.
“With this conviction, I choose to step away. I sincerely express my heartfelt gratitude to the leaders in the body of Christ, my fellow believers, the gospel music community, and my precious family for their continued encouragement and prayers during this period.
“My focus and commitment remains on Jesus Christ and this ministry HE entrusted in my hands.”

‘Mention people who used, dumped you’ — Nons Miraj dares viral fish pie seller

Nons Miraj, the content creator, has responded to a recent claim made by Alax Evalsam, the pastry seller known for his signature ‘Fish Pie’ tune.
In August 2024, Alax’s life changed when he posted a video of himself singing while hawking his fish pies on TikTok.
Following his social media popularity, rumours circulated that Alax had received large sums of money from celebrities.
Miraj was one of the celebrities who helped him. She visited him, moved him into a rented apartment, and gifted him N200,000 and a car.
But on Wednesday, Alax claimed he was “used and dumped” by the people who supported him during his viral moment.
Reacting to Alax’s claims, Miraj challenged him to publicly reveal the names of those who allegedly took advantage of him.
The content creator insisted that her brand should not be associated with Alax’s claims, emphasizing that she had done her part to help him.
“You said some people used you; please do me a favor like I have done you a favor. Come out and clear the air on who used you,” she said in an Instagram video.
“I am not a user, God uses me to bless and help people. Don’t ruin my brand because you don’t want to call names. I’m daring you now to call the names of people that used you.
“The car, clothes, and house I gifted you are still with you. Don’t ruin my brand with this claim; call the names of the users, but don’t associate my brand with this.
“Out of all the people I have helped, I spent more money on you. My friends were against buying you a car but I bought it because I feel it is good for you to be mobile after being public.
“I also got you a deal with 1XBet. What else do you want from me? I have given you the necessary things so help yourself to the next level.”
