50 days in captivity: LASG demands unconditional release of kidnapped students

ITRealms:

Today, marks the 50^th day of the kidnapped six students abducted from the Igbonla Model College near Epe last June, reports ITRealms.

This is coming as the Lagos State Government (LASG) has demanded an unconditional release of the students from their abductors.

According to the Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem, describing it as disheartening situation for both the pupils in the school and parents of the students.

Speaking at the parade of the Baale of Shangisha, Chief Yusuf Ogundare, by the Police, for feigning his kidnap alleged to have taken place on Wednesday, July 5, 2017, decried the act.

ITRealms gathered that Chief Ogundare was purported to have been kidnapped along Center for Management Development (CMD) Road in Ikosi-Isheri in Magodo, Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of the State‎.

The Commissioner also noted that it was heartbreaking that while the State Government and security agencies were working round the clock to secure the release of the children, some unscrupulous persons deemed it fit to raise false alarm. 

ITRealms recalls that Lagos Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has since approved the suspension of Ogundare.

The Baale was paraded by the Lagos State Police Command alongside his younger brother, Mohammed Adams for conspiracy in the kidnap saga.

Kidnapped Fr. Oguleru: Bishop Fasina orders Benediction @Ijebu-Ode diocese

ITRealms:

The Catholic Bishop of Ijebu-Ode Diocese, His Grace, Albert Ayinde Fasina, has ordered Benediction across the diocese over the unreleased of the kidnapped Rev. Fr. Mathew Oguleru, reports ITRealms.

An epistle dated Saturday, June 24, 2017, made available to ITRealms, Bishop Fasina urged faithful in the diocese to have hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the epistle, entitled “Be Strong and Let Your Heart Take Courage, All Who Hope in the Lord” the Bishop ordered Benediction to be celebrated across parishes on today, Sunday 25^th, June 2017 by 5pm.

“We are encouraged to fast and offer daily family rosary for this intention. Let us ask God to grant release to our brother, and protection to us all,” he said.

Bishop Fasina said that he was compelled to write to his brethren in the Lord, following the untold pains brought to the diocese by the abduction of “our brother, Rev. Fr. Matthew Oguleru of Our Lady of Assumption Parish, Ilado, by some unknown men. Fr. Oguleru was abducted on his way to morning Mass at Ososa on the 21st of June, 2017.”

This unfortunate and sad event, he said, is a test of faith in God for the diocese, which is capable of inducing fear and enslaving faithful.

“As children of God, we must not be cowed by the devil and his agents. Rather, let us remain strong and continue to hope in God, who is the source of life so that we would have our brother return to us safe and sound,” he said.

The bishop pointed out that since this event occurred, the diocese has been fasting, praying and offering Holy Masses for the safe release of Fr. Oguleru at different parishes.

“I want to sincerely thank you all for this and also implore you not to relent in this act of love and solidarity till we have our brother back. To this end, I ask that there should be Benediction in all our parishes on Sunday 25th June, 2017 by 5pm,” he said.

Further, Bishop Fasina encouraged Catholics to fast and offer daily family rosary for this intention.

“Let us ask God to grant release to our brother, and protection to us all,” he prayed, stressing for earnest prayer so that as the Lord freed Daniel from the lion’s den (Dan.6:2-28), the Hebrew Children from the fiery furnace (Dan.3:21-50) and, Paul and Silas from the jail (Acts.16:25-40), so too the Lord will save Fr. Oguleru from the hands of the kidnappers.

He also commended all member of the Ijebu-Ode diocese to the intercessions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Perpetual Help and St. Anthony.
