During his sermon Friday night, at the ongoing RCCG 2023 National Convention tagged, “Beyond Expectations”, at the Redemption Camp, on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Adeboye urged his congregation to ask that God should kill him if he truly consults demonic forces for powers.
The cleric said he initially decided against addressing the rumors but changed his mind during one of his prayer sessions.
He said: “The sayings of some so-called prophets, particularly if they are saying something about me, I just ignore them.
“But I learned that recently some people were saying Pastor Adeboye is using demonic forces, (and) that there are some demons at the Redemption Camp.
“That Pastor Adeboye will consult them, then he will come and say, ‘My Daddy said’. And I just felt like I’m not going to pay any attention. But you see, they put these things on the Internet.
“While I was praying three days ago, praying for the convention naturally, I felt the leading, let me put it that way, that there might be some people who believe these things.
“So, I just want you to pray one more prayer; if there is any link between Pastor Adeboye and the forces of darkness, ‘Father, kill him before the sun rises.’
“We are going to settle that issue today. I want you to call on God that if Pastor Adeboye is contacting the devil one way or the other, if there are any connections between him and forces of darkness, kill him before the sun rises so that he doesn’t spoil your name; so that he doesn’t lead several people to hell.
“Then, you add to that prayer, ‘Say Father, but if this boy is using your power and your power alone, then multiply that power sevenfold’.”
“Ask God to kill me before sunrise if I consult the devil for power” – Pastor Adeboye

The AYC claimed that the establishment of just four LCDAs in Akure North and Akure South was a political ploy to underserve the populace.
It said that there was no rational reason to create further LCDAs from a local government that was smaller than Akure South, the state capital.

“The map of the State has been balkanized to cede various parts of Akure to other communities and this will not be accepted.
“Akure, the State capital, should therefore be granted a Special Status and given the number of LCDAs as recommended to the government committee by the community.”

There Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS has said that there are now 79,076 pre-trial detainees in its care than there were a year ago (79,785).
NCos revealed this at the International Conference on Prisons Justice, with the theme “Enhancing Global Response to Prisoners’ Justice,” organized by Earthspring International in collaboration with the Vincentian International Network for Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (VIN-JPC), Controller-General of NCoS Haliru Nababa in Abuja.
He said: “Of recent, the service has witnessed significant improvement in the area of access to justice by awaiting trial inmates because of the massive improvement in logistics support. The era of inmates missing their day in court due to lack of mobility has been mitigated to the barest minimum. This feat is better appreciated with knowledge of the disposition of inmates in NCoS custody.
“As at July 31, 2023, about 69 per cent (54,171) of 79,076 inmates were awaiting trial, while 31 per cent (24,905) were convicted. This remains the most daring setback to the NCoS. One can only imagine the enormity of having to consistently meet up with producing inmates in court as and when due, coupled with the complications of managing such a high number of pre-trial detainees, amid some form of overcrowding.”
“Another positive intervention is the Correctional Information Management System (CIMS), which has been developed to systematically manage cases of Awaiting Trial Inmates (ATI),” noted Nababa, who received an award for Excellent Leadership and his Principal Staff Officer (PSO), Salisu Mamma, received an award for Excellent Service.
Abdullahi Magaji, who was speaking on his behalf, said: “This has greatly aided in the smooth administration of our custodial centers, given that useful data is readily accessible.”
Conference Convener Rev. Fr. Victor Nyoroh stated that “August 10 is the day officially set aside for prisoners and their supporters” to remember those who passed away too soon in custody while urging stronger global action for better responses to prisoners’ justice.
He claims that the purpose of the conference is to present comprehensive answers that will aid in reforming the criminal justice system to make it more effective.
