Terror Alert: Intelligencers Within Govt Working To Collapse Nigeria, Says Security Expert

by Leading Reporters October 30, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

A security adviser , Ladi Thompson says intelligencers in the government are working to collapse Nigeria.

“ It seems that some rudiments within the government, intelligencers within are working together with this docket to collapse this country from within, ” he said on Channels Television’s Sunrise programme on Saturday.
According to Thompson, the Federal Government’s programs of absorbing captured terrorists into the Nigerian society, failure to make given terror financiers, amongst others are signs of contended conspiracy.

“ There are intelligencers in high places in Nigeria and what’s passing to our people is that when terrorism is being used clinically, one of its objects is to break the will of the nation, ” he emphasised.
Thompson said the cautions of imminent terror attacks in Abuja released by the United Kingdom and the United States mustn’t be ignored.

“ Abuja is a matter of time if we do n’t change strategies, ” he said and advised that low- tech bias should be stationed in Abuja incontinently.
The security expert, still, expressed confidence that Nigeria will master the current security challenges.

“ We’ll beat this thing but for us to beat this thing, the whole nation must realise that the strategy that this government is putting together has not worked( and) it isn’t working, ” he stated.

‘ Focus On The Communication, Not The Messenger ’

On his part, a global security critic, Ademola Abbas prompted the Federal Government to forget the runner and concentrate on the communication.

“ Let’s for formerly forget the runner and concentrate on the communication – the communication is that there’s a trouble to our country We live with pitfalls every single day, ” Abbas submitted.

The US and Britain had on Sunday advised of possible terror attacks in Abuja, especially at government structures, places of deification, seminaries and other centres where large crowds gather. Both countries also commenced the evacuation of their citizens from the Nigerian political capital.

still, Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed dismissed the terror cautions, saying the government wo n’t be stampeded and that Nigeria is safer than in May 2015 when President Muhammadu Buhari came into office.

torrent Of Attacks
Disturbingly, a number of daring terrorist attacks have been recorded in Abuja in 2022 and other corridor of the country. On July 5, 2022, mutineers raided the Kuje captivity in Abuja and freed hundreds of convicts including hardened Boko Haram fighters.

The looters also in the same month attacked the advance convoy of the President near Dutsinma in Katsina State. The inspired terrorists would latterly in August ambush and kill some members of the Presidential Guards Brigade in Abuja.
Also, on March 28, 2022, the ferocious terrorists attacked a Kaduna- Abuja train, killed scores, abducted numerous passengers and held them hostages for over six months before their eventual release before in October.

On June 5, 2022, terrorists also raided a unqualified church in Owo, the birthplace of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, killed over 40 worshippers and injured scores of members.

2023: Pastor Adeboye speaks on the General elections, preferred candidate

by Leading Reporters April 3, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

“Hear it with anointed ears, I am not and I will never be a politician. I am called to be a pastor,” Pastor Adeboye says.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, has said he has no preferred candidate for next year’s general election.

“Every political party is heavily represented. If I vote for anyone, I would be unjust to the rest of my children; I am the father of all and I like it that way,” he said. He added that he will support whoever God says.

“…my assignment has nothing to do with partisan politics, do not distract my attention. You will bear me out… I have never told you, this is the fellow you should vote for… I have never said this is the party you should belong to; I have never said it and will never say it,” he said at the April 2022 Thanksgiving Service held on Sunday.

Mr Adeboye also said Nigerians who refuse to vote in an election have no right to complain about the government.

“You were Nigerian before you became a Christian. As a Nigerian, you have a duty to register, to vote and make sure your vote will count. You have a duty to belong to any party of your choice; you can’t refuse to vote and then complain about the government,” the cleric said.

He said he has no care for the political party people belong to or vote for as long as they do their duty – vote in the upcoming 2023 elections.

During his sermon, he said God has yet to speak to him about the 2023 elections unlike in 2019 when God spoke to him a year before the elections.

“As of now, I still do not know whether or not there will be an election next year. Do not say that Pastor Adeboye said there will be no election next year, that is not what I said… Adeboye does not know yet,” he told his congregation.

For this reason, the cleric said, he does not know if there would be elections in 2023. He added that God might still speak to him about the elections.

“How come you don’t know? Because my father has not talked to me about it yet. The last time we had an election, He (God) spoke to me about the election by June of the previous year and this is April. So, it is not late but He hasn’t told me yet,” he added.

“I want you to listen with anointed ears and anointed hearts. Pastor Adeboye is not and will never be a politician. I have never been and will never be; that is not my calling, I am called to be a pastor,” he said.

Mr Adeboye’s statement on his political involvement comes at a time when there are speculations about the intentions of the church’s department on politics and governance.

RCCG in March announced that it has set up a department on politics and governance to help muster support for members with political ambitions.

While some find the church’s active participation in government commendable, many have condemned the action, alleging that it is a front to campaign for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. Many Nigerians believe Mr Osinbajo seeks to contest the 2023 presidential election although he has yet to declare his interest. Mr Osinbajo is a cleric of the RCCG.

On Sunday, Mr Adeboye noted that he is very concerned about the Kaduna killings, oil theft, Nigeria’s depressing debt profile and other current national challenges.

However, “anybody who comes to me from whatever party to pray for them, I will pray. I have only one prayer for every one of them, “Father, let your perfect will concerning this fellow be done”

Speaking on his concerns about Kaduna, he said, “you cannot go to Kaduna by road, air or train. That brings so many questions to my mind as a man of prayers. Why Kaduna? Who is trying to isolate Kaduna? Why? After Kaduna, which next?” he asked.

He noted that while some Christians are killing themselves over 2023, rapture (a theological position held by some Christians consisting of an end-time event when all Christian believers who are alive, along with resurrected believers, would rise in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air) may come before the end of the year 2022.

“It is in the news and nobody has denied it that as of now more than 80 per cent of the oil we are producing is being stolen… that leads me to several questions,” Mr Adeboye said.

He went on to ask accountability questions on the whereabouts of the stolen oil.

“Who is stealing the oil? Where is the money going? What do they want to do with the money? Who are the foreign nations buying this stolen oil? How many of these nations of the world are your friends?”

According to him, it is an open secret that more than 90 per cent of the money Nigeria gets from crude oil sales is being used to furnish interest accruing on debt.

“We are borrowing more and according to a friend of mine, we are moving steadily towards a state of bankruptcy, a whole nation…”

He asked his congregation to pray to God that Nigeria’s debts be cleared just like in the time of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. If not, generations to come will continue to pay these debts, he said.

Train Attack: Rotimi Amaechi heaps blame on the presidency; claims he forewarned FG

by Leading Reporters March 31, 2022
written by Leading Reporters

Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of transportation has said that the terrorist attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train would have been avoided if the Federal Government had hearkened to his warning on same.  The Minister, following the attack said that he has severally warned of possible attack on the train and rail facilities, but for the insincerity of his colleagues in government who misconstrued his genuine demand for more money.

“When you come with sincerity to government and your colleagues and people are stopping you, it is annoying.”

The minister said that it was imperative to have necessary digital security and crime prevention equipment that could forestall event as was witnessed few days ago where many Nigerians lost their lives and others kidnapped by terrorists.

Addressing journalists after visiting the scene of the incident on Tuesday, the expressed dissatisfaction over the incident, which he claimed, could have been averted with relevant digital security equipment in place.

“We knew what the problem would be. We knew we needed to have digital security equipment. We applied for it. But it was not granted us”.

“Because if we had those equipment, you will see nobody on that track. And I warned that lives will be lost. Now, lives are lost. Eight persons dead, 25 persons in the hospital.

“We don’t know how many persons have been kidnapped. And the cost of that equipment is just N3 billion. The cost of what we’ve lost is more than N3 billion.

The Minister said that to fix it would cost Nigeria more now to get the destroyed facilities fixed, and even to get the digital security instruments, going by the rising cost of dollar.

“All the things on that track now, will cost us more than N3 billion. And now even the things we said give us approval to buy – at the time we asked for it, dollar was N400, now it is N500.
