The Ooni of Ife’s camp has reacted to the fire incident at the palace of the Oba of on Tuesday. An official has described the incident as a sad one and revealed the palace is not happy with the incident.

The spokesperson of the Ooni’s palace, Moses Olafare, told PREMIUM TIMES that the Ife monarch, Enitan Ogunwusi, is unhappy with the fire incident.

“We are not happy over the fact that the palace of Lagos king got burnt, we can only sympathise with the palace on the development,” he said.

Recall we earlier reported about the fire incident at the Lagos monarch’s palace. The fire occurred about one week after a video showed the Lagos monarch, Rilwan Akiolu, snub the Ooni.

There have been rumours on social media that Tuesday’s fire was caused by the snub, reports denied by Mr. Olafare.

“People are entitled to their own views,” he said. “But what people say doesn’t mean that is the position of the palace.”

“What happened is mere coincidence and should not be traced to the incident in Lagos, we send our sympathies,” he added.

A Minna Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday sentenced five men to three -year imprisonment each, after they admitted committing adultery.

They were, however, given an option of N 150, 000 fine each.

The accused: Mohammed Faruk, Johnbosco Dedan, David Momoh, Sunday Ekuese and Vincent Emmanuel, were arraigned alongside Naomi Abdulmajeed on a two – count charge of enticing a married woman and committing adultery.

The Prosecutor , Inspector Emmanuel Danladi, had told the court that one Abdulmajeed Akin of Tunga, Minna, reported the matter at the Tudun Wada Police Station on April 28.

Danladi quoted the complainant as alleging that his wife, Naomi, had intimate relationships with the other accused persons who each had sex with her on different occasions and at different venues.

He said that some of the accused persons were said to have slept with complainant’ s wife in her matrimonial home.

The offences, he said, were contrary to sections 389, 387 and 388 of the penal code.

When the charges were read to the accused persons, they all pleaded guilty and begged the court for leniency.

The prosecutor thereafter asked the court to try them summarily in line with Section 157 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

He also prayed the court to order the accused persons to pay a compensation of N 500, 000 each to the complainant.

Counsel to the accused persons , Obi Alex , however , prayed the court to temper justice with mercy, given their admission without wasting the time of the court.

Delivering his judgment , the presiding magistrate , Mohammed Hassan, sentenced the accused persons to three -year imprisonment each, or a fine of N150,000 each.

He, however, ordered the complainant’ s wife to pay a fine of N 10,000 only.

The judge also ordered the other five accused persons to each pay a compensation of N 100, 000 to the complainant.

A prophet in South Africa has defended his bizarre action. Apparently, he was captured on camera spraying his church member with insecticide after he claimed it can heal them of their diseases.

“Some people came with injuries but we sprayed them and they were healed,” Pastor Rabalago, 24, told the Times Live website. “No one inspired me. I just believe in God for Rabalagolago.”

Even though, he has been dubbed the “Prophet of Doom” , he said he was “glorifying God” by spraying his congregation at the Mount Zion General Assembly (MZGA) church.

“Everything here on Earth belongs to God. Petrol belongs to God. Doom belongs to God,” he said.

Meanwhile, the manufactures the well-known household spray, issued a statement calling on Rabalago to halt his ritual healing, calling it “alarming and extremely concerning”.

“(We) want to make it very clear that it is unsafe to spray Doom Super Multi-Insect Killer… into people’s faces,” it said.

“The packaging has very clear instruction and health warnings for humans which must be adhered to.”

Brand Tigers added that anyone affected should wash their hands and face, avoid inhaling and seek medical attention.

However, photos from the MZGA showed several women, with their eyes tightly closed, being sprayed in the face by Rabalago.

The pastor said no one was injured, but declined to say how many devotees attend his church or how many were healed.
