Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, says the students of Igbonla Model College, Epe, who were kidnapped 64 days ago, were rescued after the killing of their 20 abductors in a gun battle.

The police chief disclosed that the gun battle took place in the creeks of Ondo state, leaving one civilian volunteer dead, while four other civilian volunteers and eight policemen sustained injuries.

Owoseni, who made the disclosure on Friday at a press briefing in Lagos, also disclosed that the force had arrested a man who attempted to defraud the parents of the kidnapped students by asking them to bring the ransom for the students to Abeokuta.

He commended South West Governors for their commitment to combat crime in the region, saying that the communiqué issued in Abeokuta with respect to creation of Joint Security Task Force for the region, is already yielding positive result.

  The Dangers Of Digging Pits   A daily devotion for February 23rd   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Ecclesiastes 10:1-15       Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake. Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them; whoever splits logs may be endangered by them (Ecclesiastes 10:8-9).       In the next section, the Searcher returns to wisdom to describe the kinds of insights that wisdom will embrace. First, there is a section on avoiding dangers, understanding that certain situations have inherent dangers. Few of us are ever going to be involved extensively in digging pits, breaking down walls, quarrying stones, or splitting logs. But Solomon is not talking only about actual physical situations; these are also descriptive, symbolic of the things we do to each other. Did you ever dig a pit for somebody,...

IN HERE-PASTOR ANITA WARNS;BEWARE OF FAKE SOUL WINNING PASTORS(WHO IS SHE REFERRING TO)

By

PASTOR ANITA When people talk about winning souls these days, I feel absolutely concerned for the so-called souls. It looks to me like a lion on a breakfast mission, in search for his hunt; he hides behind the grass for an unwise lamb that would wander away from the herd in search of fresh grass. This will be an easy catch and good feast for the lion’s plate. When I hear these people talk about winning souls, I feel sorry for the souls who have no idea of what they are getting into. It sometimes sounds to me like blood-thirty people desperate to count the number of innocent, ignorant people who will give their blood to be sucked. These souls are classified, as those who are needy, can undoubtedly gullible in their search for solutions and wanting to identify or belong to a community. These souls are caught when they are most vulnerable maybe they have lost a loved one, in a bad relationship with their parents or family, in need of healing or desperate for a change. At this poin...
