August 7, 2024 NEWS
A former chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ikeja Branch, Lagos State, Adesina Ogunlana, Esq has been confirmed dead.
Ogunlana who served as the NBA Chairman, of the Ikeja Branch between 2016 - 2018 breathed his last on Tuesday, unexpectedly and without any sign of illness.
His death was announced on Wednesday morning in a press statement issued by the NBA Ikeja Branch Secretary, Issa Adedokun, stating the burial arrangement would be communicated later by the bereaved family.
The NBA’s statement reads: “The Executive Committee regrets to announce the sudden passage of our beloved Leader, Adesina Ogunlana, Esq. (Past Chairman (2016 - 2018). who passed on yesterday the 6th of AUGUST 2024.
“We are deeply saddened by this transition but comforted by the fact that, our dear Leader lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation by all.
“His contributions to our branch in particular, the legal profession and the entire country in general will forever remain indelible.
“Burial arrangements will be announced upon confirmation from his immediate family.
"As we condole with his family, kindly remember them in prayers at this critical time.”
One of the close associates of the deceased said he died in his course of fighting for injustice.
He said, “It is a very sad day. Words alone can’t express how sad I felt hearing of the demise of this doggedly relentless man, Adesina Ogunlana. He died at his desk doing what he loved most, fighting for justice for all. May his soul rest in eternal power."
Pastor Femi James Jimoh, Pa Caleb Oloruntele and Mr. Henry Aiyewero all went through the valley of the shadow of death during their over 8 Years incarceration in jail gulags from terrible police stations to proper maximum prisons in a case that was later trashed and thrown out by the Court of Law.
The trio were allegedly roped by unscrupulous police officers in conjunction with other unethical elements and accused of plotting to rob a church—Mountain of Fire and Miracle (MFM) and assassinate the founder, one Daniel Kolawole Olukoya, a PhD holder in micro-Biology science.
The case started from early January Year 2008 as both Pastor Femi Jimoh, Pa Caleb Oloruntele and Mr. Henry Aiyewero were arrested at different time and location as stated in court papers even though their accusers, MFM and their allies want the world to believe otherwise.
When the story of their miraculous escape from what appeared like a schemed death trap went viral last month via Yoruba Gidi TV, many conscientious citizens home and abroad were astounded at the level a church of God can go to roast their own members and throw them to the devil to devour!
Even though the Church in what appeared like a contempt of court did a press conference to debunk allegations of inference in the 9 Years Jail Horror of the three victims (now addressed as The Three Hebrew Men). HOWEVER, more revelations continue to trail the allegations that MFM sponsored the misfortune that landed both Pastor Femi Jimoh, Pa Caleb Oloruntele & Mr. Henry Aiyewero in the 9 Years jail horror.
Justice appeared to be delayed initially but was eventually DELIVERED. Special thanks to God Almighty and the benevolent soul called JUSTICE A.O. WILLIAMS (Mrs) of the High Court, Igbosere, Lagos.
The two workers; (Femi Jimoh and Caleb Oloruntele) also secured an industrial court judgement against MFM last Year December over backlog of salaries and unpaid arrears of over 15 years inclusive of their 9 Years jail tenure.
Asabe Afrika TV and other media organizations with the Human Right Community met the trio on Tuesday July 4, 2024 and we listened to their story all over again.
In this final part (Part 3) of the exclusive encounter with the trio, they gave a detail-by-detail revelation of their walk to freedom, including roles played by Godly sent Nigerians and ministers in the temple of justice especially the extraordinary role played by Her Worship, HONORABLE JUSTICE (MRS.) O.A. WILLIAMS of Lagos High Court, Igbosere and Her Worship, Honorable Justice (Mrs.) A.N. UBAKA.
There is more to learn for education on the part of everyday Christians and for reforms on the part of Government.

What Our Family Lost Trying to Save My Brother From MFM Wahala--Head, Oloruntele Family.
Popularly known as the MIRACLE WOMAN OF LAGOS, PROPHETESS MODUPE AJELOWO is a woman of extreme humility and a pure heart to humanity. A woman of Prudence and Excellence in His sight (Proverbs 19:14 and Proverbs 13:10)
She was called to serve in the vineyard against her parent's (especially her father, an Ifa priest's wish) by the divine hand of God as a Prophetess of the Most High God Almighty for all races.
After several years of encounter with the Holy Spirit and tutelage under other ministers, veteran Gospel Musician Evangelist OJO ADE in a rare revelation pointed to her gift of prophecy and urged her to pursue her own calling and ministry.
Having risen through a very humble background to attain prominence that made her dined with Kings and Queens, Prophetess Ajelowo maintains a low profile which further attracts people to her calling and her ministry.
BEFORE She jetted out to the United State of America in the second week of August Year 2024, the gifted female minister of God spoke to Asabe Afrika TV on recent crisis in the church and why Christian Leaders must imbibe the spirit of forgiveness and shun wickedness.
The Woman of God who runs THE GOD OF GLORY MIRACLE MINISTRY by Ajigbotosho Street, Mercy-land Estate, Atankekere Ipaja-Ayobo area of Lagos with her husband reacted to the recent Mountain of Fire and Miracle (MFM) Church saga where some workers (Pastor Femi Jimoh, Pa Caleb and a non-member Henry Aiyewero) were alleged to have spent 9 years in detention on the strength of allegation by the church that they wanted to rob the church and kidnap the leader Dr. DK Olukoya.
Many critics including mainstream Christians frowned at the role of the church as the three men (3 Hebrew Men) went through death before God delivered them through Honorable Justice O.A. Williams. They later got another judgment via the industrial Court mandating the church to pay their salaries with interest but the church refused until the men came to the press.
The gifted Prophetess has a message for church leaders and others.

MFM PASTORS' JAIL SAGA: How I Would Have Handled It.
Olukoya's MFM Church Loses Two Cases Against Social Media Influencer, Funke Ashekun In U.S. Court
October 17, 2024 NEWS
A District Court of Maryland, United States has set aside two cases filed by the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) against a Nigerian social media influencer and YouTuber Mrs. Funke Ashekun over alleged electronics communication harassment.
One of the lawsuits was filed by Adekunle Adekola, former personal assistant to the General Overseer of the church, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, now a pastor at MFM Rockville branch, Maryland.
The second lawsuit was filed by Kunle Ladipo, who is the MFM pastor for Bowie branch, Maryland.
The duo accused Ashekun of using her social media platforms to harass them since January 4, 2022.
She was accused of describing one of the pastors as the leader of a street gang in Lagos before becoming Olukoya’s PA.
In a document handwritten by one of the plaintiffs, Ladipo, which was obtained by SaharaReporters, he accused Ashekun of videos that harass and create harmful narratives about him.
He alleged that Ashekun accused him of committing illegal and immoral acts with no proof or justification.
The statement partly reads, "From January 4, 2022 and ongoing, Ashekun Funke has used her Facebook & YouTube platform to harass, hound and alarm me (Olakunle Ladipo)
"Ashekun continues to harass, defame and annoy Olakunle Ladipo through video posts and Facebook posting. Also through her live segments she uploads on YouTube and Facebook weekly.
"Maryland law against electronic harassment states that misuse of electronic communication or interactive computer service has been committed.
"A person maliciously engages in a course of conduct, through the use of electronic communication that alarms or seriously annoys another with the intent to harass, alarm or annoy the other.
"Ashekun has continued to post harassing videos. In those videos, she created harmful narratives, harass me, Olakunle Ladipo and accused me of committing illegal and immoral acts with no proof or justification. On February 20, 2024, MFM sent a cease and desist letter to Ashekun, she simply ignored the cease and desist letter, she continues to post malicious content in spite of receiving a reasonable request.
"Ashekun, without legal justification continues to electronically accuse, persecute and harass me, Olakunle Ladipo and my colleagues on various videos posts and platforms.
"This shows her clear intent to continue her campaign of defamation and online harassment."
The cases were heard on October 11, 2024 by Judge John C. Moffett, according to the court document obtained by SaharaReporters.
“The two cases were set aside and discontinued for lack of evidence,” Ashekun said.
"The Court's finding is as follows: ELEC COMM HARASS, Plea-Other Plea Verdict-Nolle Prosequi," the document reads.
With the recent judgement, Ashekun has triumphed against MFM in four cases within 10 months, SaharaReporters learnt.
The first one was delivered on January 24, 2024, while the second one was delivered on April 18, 2024.
Following the recent victory, Ashekun told SaharaReporters that Olukoya used his pastors and branches in the US to slam her with four court cases in 2024 alone.
She said, "I thank God that the criminal cases initiated by two MFM pastors against me have been dismissed. DK Olukoya really tried to use his structures on the ground in America to oppress and gag me so that his atrocities and oppression of his members would not be exposed to the world but he keeps failing.
"He has used his pastors and branches in the US to slam me with four court different cases within this year alone, that’s an abuse of court process.”
"I know justice will prevail because all I say about him is true!" she added.
One of the lawsuits was filed by Adekunle Adekola, former personal assistant to the General Overseer of the church, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, now a pastor at MFM Rockville branch, Maryland.
