 Commissioner of Police in Lagos State Fatai Owoseni said on Sunday at a meeting with the traditional rulers that the worsening cases of violence in Ikorodu is being sponsored by Baales in the area.

 ”They allow militants to build houses harbouring criminals in the creeks,” he said.The Lagos state police boss urged the royal fathers to call their chiefs to order. He added that the meeting was convened to tell the traditional rulers that their ”silent conspiracy will no longer be tolerated.”

 ”Traditional rulers cannot tell me they don’t know who is who in their domain; all communities are advised to organise their local vigilantes,” Owoseni said.

 According to him, most kidnappings, killings and other violent crimes in Lagos take place in Ikorodu area and called on communities to partner the security management.

  The Rumor Of Hope   A daily devotion for January 30th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Mark 16:1-8       Don't be alarmed,  he said.  You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you'  (Mark 16:6-7).       The words of the angel to these women contain the answer to all the skepticism of over twenty centuries. For the angel said some things to them that answer most of the claims that have ever been raised in questioning the actuality of the resurrection. The first thing the angel said was,  This Jesus of Nazareth, this One who was crucified, this same One whom you seek, has indeed risen from the dead.  Many of the attempts to explain this away say that the women went to the wrong tomb or that they found

But fast forward twenty years, and Michael had changed his name to Younnes, traded his Christian faith for Islam, and the sleepy Belgian suburb he’d grown up in for the front lines of ISIS’ war in Syria. Now, back in Belgium, he still expresses open support for the group’s warped ideology and says he wishes he could return to the group’s self-proclaimed Islamic State. “I regret coming back,” he told me. “I want to live under the caliphate.” Michael 'Younnes' Delefortrie Despite his shocking words, the most striking thing about the 28-year-old is how utterly unremarkable he appears. The first time we meet, in a café in the port city of Antwerp, he wears a hooded sweat
