The Edo State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has ordered all churches in the state to close service early on Sunday,  10th November 2019 in order to partake in the denomination service arranged to celebrate Governor Obaseki’s 3rd year in office.

Chairman of Edo CAN, Bishop Oyonude Kure, who spoke in Benin City at CAN’s 2019 plenary session on Monday,  said the church must continue to stand with Governor Obaseki as his emergence was an act of God, not men.

Bishop Oyonude Kure commended the Edo State Deputy Governor, Hon. Philip Shaibu for his resilience in standing by the governor, noting that the good working relationship between Mr. Obaseki and his deputy was an evidence of the fear of God in them, coupled with the desire to take Edo to greater heights against all odds and criticism.

He, however, urged them not to relent in their commitments to the wellbeing of the state even as he implored the governor to personally go out for routine inspection and supervision of ongoing projects across the state.

Kure noted that through personal inspection of projects Governor Obaseki would have first-hand information on the quality of work being done by the executors of the projects.

Bishop Kure also made a special appeal to the governor to build an ecumenical Christian Centre for the body of Christ to serve as a rallying point for all Christians in the state.

  • Jilli Airstrike: Supporters Of Terrorists Will Be Treated As Bandits, Defence Minister Warns Defence Minister Christopher Musa has warned that supporters of terrorists would be treated as criminals. He said this on Monday as he reacted to the airstrike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Jilli, Borno State, over the weekend. Speaking after an expanded security meeting in Kaduna with the state governor and heads of security agencies, Musa said the operation sends a clear message to those collaborating with terrorist groups. He stressed that anyone found supporting insurgents would face the same consequences as the perpetrators. “A friend of a thief is a thief,” he said, warning civilians against associating with or providing any form of assistance to terrorists. Musa urged residents to steer clear of areas known to be used by insurgents, noting that proximity or collaboration could have grave consequences. The airstrike, carried out near the village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area, targeted what the military described as an ISWAP enclave and logistics hub. According to the Nigerian Air Force, the operation was intelligence-driven and aimed at neutralising terror elements and destroying their equipment. However, reports have emerged alleging that the strike may have affected a weekly market in the area, with civilians, including cross-border traders, reportedly among casualties. Musa, however, maintained that the strike should serve as a strong warning to those aiding insurgent activities, reaffirming the military’s resolve to intensify operations against terrorist networks. Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. Giving an update on the airstrike, the Nigerian Army in a post on its official X handle said, “The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.”
