“Read, share, and receive the miracle of the divine. This is the true source of miracles.”

Ogilisi Igbo, a prominent spiritual leader of the Igbo nation, has called on Ndi Igbo worldwide to return to the eternal truths of their ancestors.

He declared that life itself rests on both the cosmic trinity of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, and the biological trinity of Father, Mother, and Self.

He affirmed his identity as Ogilisi Igbo mara mma na Igbo, the Ogilisi Igbo who truly serves and benefits the people.

He urged a global revival of Ndi Igbo, encouraging them to rediscover and embrace their ancestral path to spiritual and cultural transcendence.

According to Ogilisi Igbo, the Igbo are the true children of the Most High God, and their ancestors understood the eternal mysteries of life long before foreign religions arrived.

Ogilisi Igbo explained that the ancestors revered the Sun (Anyanwu), the Moon (Onwa), and the Earth (Uwa/Ana) as an eternal trinity:

• Sun (Anyanwu): Source of life and energy
• Moon (Onwa): Governs fertility, childbirth, and the rhythm of creation
• Earth (Uwa/Ana): Provides the human body, food, and shelter

This cosmic trinity, experienced daily, represents eternal truth. In Latin, it is referred to as Sol, Luna, Terra. Ogilisi Igbo emphasized that beliefs outside this visible trinity are misleading and false.

Ogilisi Igbo criticized the Christian doctrine of the “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” describing it as an abstract illusion.

He compared it to “selling your own house to live as a tenant in someone else’s home.”

Instead, he urged Ndi Igbo to reconnect with the truths of their ancestors, truths rooted in nature and direct communion with the universe.

Beyond the cosmic trinity, Ogilisi Igbo introduced the biological trinity of Father, Mother, and Self (Chi).

He called on Igbo families to honor their parents and themselves by placing their names and photographs in a sacred space at home, rather than venerating foreign saints.

True prayers, he explained, should be offered in the names of Father, Mother, and Self, followed by chanting the cosmic trinity: Sol-Luna-Terra or Anyanwu-Onwa-Uwa, seven times to receive the miracle of life.

Ogilisi Igbo’s message is both spiritual and cultural.

He urged Ndi Igbo, at home and in the diaspora, to recognize their divine heritage. By embracing the cosmic trinity, Sun, Moon and Earth, and the biological trinity of family, they can reclaim the wisdom and power of their ancestors.

He emphasized the practical and observable nature of these truths:

“Move from the known to the unknown. Without your father and mother, you cannot exist. Without the Sun, Moon, and Earth, you cannot exist.

Work with what you see and know to understand the mysteries of existence.

Believe in your parents and in the Sun, Moon, and Earth, they are the source of your being. Obey the laws of creation and honor these elements. Outside this, you are lost.”

Ogilisi Igbo explained that traditional practice, like orienting the body toward the Sun during burial, reflect ancient knowledge of the pathway back to the Sun.

Any doctrine that encourages disrespect for ancestors is dangerous, he said, because today’s living will one day be tomorrow’s ancestors.

He stated that understanding the cosmic and biological trinity is essential to grasping deeper spiritual truths.

“Any belief system that despises ancestors while claiming creation must first acknowledge the Sun, Moon, and Earth,” he said.

He further argued that every religion, from African traditional faiths to Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, relies fundamentally on these elements for its existence.

Ogilisi Igbo said his sermon is intended for the few who can truly comprehend this mystery.

He urged readers to share the message and warned that those who reject it remain in ignorance.

“The message is for the chosen few. Whoever reads this should share it. The doubters, the ndi efulefu, are the unfortunate majority,” he stated.

A young officer in the Nigerian Navy, Lt. A.M. Yarima, reportedly survived an assassination attempt on Sunday evening in Abuja, following a recent confrontation with the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Nyesom Wike.

According to military sources, Yarima was followed by unidentified men in black clothing who were traveling in two unmarked Hilux vehicles without number plates.

The assailants reportedly trailed him from the NIPCO Filling Station along the Line Expressway to Gado Nasco Way.

The officer, sensing the pursuit, executed what the source described as a “strategic maneuver,” successfully avoiding the attackers.

The incident reportedly took place around 6:30 p.m. Investigations are ongoing, with authorities withholding further details to avoid compromising the process.

The attack comes shortly after Yarima, while on duty with other security personnel, was involved in a tense confrontation with Minister Wike over a disputed land site in Gaduwa District.

A video of the clash went viral, generating widespread debate and prompting the Presidency to halt the demolition exercise at the site.

Military veterans across the country have criticised Wike for verbally insulting the officer and rejected calls for Yarima to face disciplinary action.

Abiodun Durowaiye-Herberts, spokesman for the Coalition of Retired Veterans, warned that ex-service members would “occupy the office and residence of the FCT Minister” if Yarima were punished.

Durowaiye-Herberts stressed that military personnel serve the nation, not individual officials, and demanded that Wike apologize for his remarks.

“How can a public office holder call an officer ‘a fool’ on camera?” he questioned, arguing that such conduct undermines both the military and public office.

Meanwhile, Minister of Defence Mohammad Badaru Abubakar reassured that military personnel acting lawfully would be protected.

Speaking at a briefing for the 2026 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at the National Defence College, he said, “Any officer on lawful duty will be protected if he is doing his job lawfully and doing it well.”

Veterans had earlier vowed to mobilize and occupy the FCT Ministry should Yarima face any disciplinary action.

Senator Ned Nwoko has verified the authenticity of medical and toxicology reports circulating online about his estranged wife, Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, confirming that the documents originated from medical and rehabilitation facilities where she had undergone treatment.

The confirmation was contained in a two-part statement issued by the Communication Team of the Office of Senator Ned Nwoko.

The senator said the reports, which have been widely shared on social media, highlight serious concerns about Regina’s health, including the presence of multiple substances in her system at dangerous levels.

According to the statement, the toxicology report, alongside findings from Serenity Hospital, listed high concentrations of marijuana, cocaine, morphine, opiates, and critically elevated alcohol levels.

A report from Nizamiya Hospital dated October 3 further revealed that Regina was brought in unconscious after suffering a drug overdose.

The senator’s office clarified that the rehabilitation centre where Regina was admitted did not disclaim the reports.

Instead, it stressed that the facility merely distanced itself from leaking the documents, as required under medical confidentiality guidelines.

The statement accused some of Regina’s siblings of sabotaging her treatment.

According to the rehabilitation centre’s account, her siblings allegedly supplied her with alcohol and marijuana while she was still in rehab, making it impossible for her to complete the programme.

Nwoko explained that his calls for sustained therapy and rehabilitation stem from genuine fear for Regina’s wellbeing and the safety of their two young sons.

He said her recent behaviour, particularly online, indicates she is not in a stable frame of mind and is heavily influenced by outsiders rather than medical professionals or her family.

The statement noted:

“The reports are genuine. Both the toxicology and hospital findings confirm substances at levels that pose severe health risks. The Nizamiya Hospital report also shows she was admitted unconscious from an overdose. These are documented facts.”

It added that earlier attempts to handle Regina’s condition quietly had failed, prompting the decision to speak publicly. According to the senator, the severity of the situation made further silence irresponsible.

Nwoko’s office said the senator’s priority is ensuring Regina receives consistent treatment and regains her health.

It stressed that denial, interference, and enabling behaviour from those around her are preventing meaningful recovery.

“The Senator is deeply concerned. He wants Regina to recover, to be safe, and to remain present for their two sons. He will continue to fulfil his responsibility to protect her and help restore her wellbeing.”

The statement added that Regina needs stability, medical guidance and a supportive environment, not further exposure to substances or individuals who undermine her recovery.

A new report by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has revealed that 14 churches in Enugu State were attacked by armed jihadists between May 2021 and June 2025, leading to the deaths of 117 worshippers.

According to the organisation, the attacks occurred mainly in Eha-Amufu, Isiuzo Local Government Area and involved 12 Anglican churches and two Catholic parishes.

Many of the recovered bodies were reportedly buried within affected communities.

The breakdown of incidents includes Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Mgbuji (May 2021), where 25 people were killed; St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Ogbete (January 2022), with 40 deaths; St. Barnabas Anglican Church, Ngene Aguiyi (January 2022), which recorded four deaths; and St. Luke’s Anglican Church, Mgbede (January 2022), which reported no casualties.
Other incidents include St. Michael and All Angels Church, Okpurigwu (January 2022) with two deaths; Christ Church, Onumgba (January 2022); Anglican Church, Obodoudo (January 2022) with five deaths; Anglican Church, Okpokwu-Agumede (January 2022) with four casualties; Church of Advent, Ememamanu (January 2023) with one casualty; All Saints Anglican Church, Onicha-Ebia (March 2024) with one death; Christ Anglican Church, Amaofia (May 2024) with four deaths; and Victory Anglican Church, Iyiasa (June 2025) with two deaths.

The most recent attacks, at Our Saviour’s Iyi-Asaa and St. Paul’s Ikpakpara in June 2025, accounted for nine and 20 casualties respectively.

The report, signed by Intersociety Chairperson Emeka Umeagbalasi and several human rights lawyers, explains that most residents fled their communities between 2021 and 2024.

Many churches remained deserted for years and only reopened in 2025 under tight security surveillance.

Intersociety further warned that the South-East faces increasing threats from jihadist-linked Fulani militants, whom the organisation claims are occupying over 950 forest locations across 800 of the region’s 1,940 autonomous communities.

The group criticised the governors of the South-East for allegedly denying the presence of armed herders in forested areas, insisting that its data reveals extensive infiltration and heightened danger for local communities and religious institutions.

Meanwhile, the Enugu State Police Command, in a separate development, disclosed in September that it arrested 5,176 suspected criminals, including kidnappers, armed robbers, murderers, and cultists, between March 11 and September 11, 2025.

Commissioner of Police, Mamam Bitrus Giwa said the arrests were the outcome of intelligence-driven operations, raids on criminal hideouts, surveillance, and routine stop-and-search activities.

He added that 113 kidnapped victims were rescued during the same period, with many reunited with their families.

“We remain unwavering in our efforts to keep Enugu State safe for residents, investors, and visitors,” the commissioner said.

One person is feared dead after a fully loaded commercial bus lost control and crashed into a provisions shop at Imezi Owa in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The accident occurred on Friday evening near a settlement close to the local government headquarters.

The eighteen-seater bus, reportedly loaded in Enugu and heading to Onitsha in Anambra State, veered off the road before hitting several structures and individuals.

An eyewitness, Mary Ann, said the bus was moving at high speed moments before the crash.

“The driver lost control. The bus sped past our shop, hit a man on a motorcycle, and he fell unconscious. He was immediately rushed to the hospital,” she said.

Another eyewitness, a vulcaniser, described the scene as “terrible,” adding that the bus first hit another bus that was wrongly parked, then rammed into two motorcycles and destroyed a POS kiosk.

Several roadside shops were also damaged.

He added that the major casualty was the owner of a provisions shop whose business was directly struck by the bus.

“The driver must have tried to avoid more casualties and diverted toward a water tank beside the shop. The tank was destroyed, which reduced the impact before the bus landed inside the shop. Many items were destroyed. It even jumped over the drainage,” he narrated.

The driver was not immediately identified at the scene.

“We didn’t see who the driver was. Maybe he didn’t run away, but no one could identify him. Drivers should always maintain their vehicles to avoid accidents like this. Many people were injured,” he added.

DAILY GAZETTE learned that the shop owner, a woman, had stepped out briefly before the crash.

“She would have been gone,” an Okada rider said.

Some passengers aboard the bus reportedly sustained various degrees of injuries.
