Arise News One Air Personality, AOP, Rufai Oseni, has been described as an arrogant tiny god who disobeys the law and live to abuse his position at the slightest opportunity.

Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, made the observation publicly through social media and condemned Oseni, for displaying what he described as arrogance and an abuse of power during an encounter with law enforcement officers.

In a post on X, Lere Olayinka shared a video capturing the incident, where the individual in question is seen threatening to “call the governor” and even appearing to consider physical altercations with the officers.

Olayinka’s commentary was scathing, stating, “This is a tiny god that can break the law and must not be questioned. He was even going to slap the law enforcement agents, threatening that ‘I will call the governor.’ Just imagine this one being the Senate President… He will most probably be slapping his colleagues.”

He said further- “Like I have maintained, most of these people forming Moral Police will do worse if they are in positions of power,” Olayinka added.

The video, which has since gone viral, shows the individual in a suit engaging with police officers on a busy road, with other vehicles and bystanders in the background.

The incident in question was said to have occured in 2023 when Rufai Oseni was said to have breached traffic rule by following one-way on the busy Lagos road.

He was seen harassing and threatening law enforcement officers who stopped from from continuing on the one-way lane.

Adeboye: God said my firstborn would die if I leave RCCG

Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG),, has said that God once gave him a stern warning never to leave the denomination, or face the death of his firstborn.

He shared this revelation during the June edition of the Holy Ghost Service, titled “Destined for Greatness (Part 2),” held in the early hours of Saturday at the Redemption City of God in Ogun State.

While speaking on the theme of divine direction and spiritual steadfastness, Adeboye referred to a message earlier delivered by his son, Pastor Leke Adeboye. He expressed concern over a growing trend among young Christians who frequently switch churches, often introducing themselves as first-time visitors in every new place they attend.

Recalling his own journey of faith, Adeboye said that when he became born again, several thriving ministries were popular and attractive at the time. Despite the appeal, he said God specifically instructed him to remain in RCCG.

“When I got born again, there were three major ministries that were making waves, and they were very good. There were different temptations to go from one to another,” he said. “But God said to me, ‘Son, I brought you here. This is where you will stay. The day you leave this denomination, your firstborn will die.’”

He noted that at the time, RCCG was relatively obscure, with its headquarters located in a modest building in Ebute-Metta, Lagos. Even though he was a university lecturer, he said God commanded him to serve under his spiritual mentor, who had no formal education.

“I was a lecturer at the university. My father in the Lord didn’t go to secondary school, not even primary,” he said. “But God said this is where you will stay.”

Pastor Adeboye urged young believers to seek divine direction and remain where God places them, rather than chasing trends or personal preferences.

“Discover where God wants you to stay, and stay there,” he advised.

He also clarified that his message was not intended to suggest that RCCG is superior to other Christian denominations.

“I am not saying we are better than any other denomination,” the cleric said.

Deadly flooding: Zulum appeals to FG for speedy completion of Alau Dan to advert disaster

Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, has appealed to the Federal Government to fast-track the rehabilitation and expansion of the Alau Dam.

He made the appeal when the Shehu of Borno paid the traditional Sallah homage to the governor at Government House, Maiduguri, saying such was necessary to avert another Borno flooding disaster.

Zulum, who expressed concern over the slow pace of work on the project, warned that at the dawn of this year’s rainy season, urgent action was needed.

According to the governor, fast-tracking the project would prevent a repeat of the 2024 flood disaster which devastated Maiduguri and surrounding local government areas.

“After the groundbreaking ceremony for the reconstruction and expansion of the dam, which we all attended, the truth is that the work is not progressing as expected.

“The last time I visited the president, I informed him about the true state of the project. I assure you I will not relent. I will continue to follow up, and I have also notified the Vice President.

“In the meantime, the Secretary to the State Government has constituted a committee to provide immediate intervention at the dam,” Zulum said.

The Federal Government had earlier this year approved N80 billion for the reconstruction and expansion of the dam.

The intervention was aimed at mitigating a repeat of the dam’s collapse incident, which culminated in the severe flooding and damages that ensued.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held in March to mark the official commencement of the project.

Zulum also pledged to connect all local government headquarters in the state to the national electricity grid before the end of his administration.
