A Case Of Brutal Domestic Assault, Wow!!!

The victim is Queen Ujiatolor pictured above who's said to have a five-year relationship that had produced two children with the accused  man, who claimed to be the pastor of Prayer Mountain Ministries, Lagos, Olusola Adewunmi. Meanwhile, they are not yet legally married. Read the full story...

According to  PUNCH Metro when it visited the victim in a hospital, her legs and hands were bandaged while she was also placed on drip. She said, “I met Adewunmi in 2009; he had just returned from Pakistan where he was said to have served a prison term. He told me he was a changed man and a pastor; I believed him. “Soon after, we had a marriage introduction and our two families met and subsequently, we started living together.“However, months into the relationship, he started beating me. Sometimes, he would use a belt or any object he found. After the beating, I would report to his parents and they would come begging me to forgive him.”

 

The victim alleged that even during pregnancy, Adewunmi did not stop the beating. Ujiatolor said she was driven out of their home six months after she had put to bed.  A member of Adewunmi’s church allegedly took her place as the pastor’s new lover. She said a year later, in 2012, the pastor came back to her for reconciliation and promised to wed her legally. However, this was not to be as the physical violence allegedly continued. Ujiatolor claimed to have sustained a fracture in the process and was rushed to Regina Mundi Hospital, Mushin in Lagos.

 

The victim said their relationship got worse when the pastor told her that she must change her last name but she refused because they had not done a proper wedding. She was forced to move out of the home after the birth of the second child in May 2013. Things allegedly took a turn for the worse on September 22, when Adewunmi forcefully abducted one of their children in her absence. She said, “On that day, I was at a seminar in Ilupeju when he called me on the telephone, calling me a prostitute. He told me he had taken our older daughter and that I would never see her again. So, I went to his church and attempted to take her away. He hit me from behind and pushed me into a glass door. After he saw the extent of my injuries, he fled.”

 

The doctor, Gani Yahaya, said the victim sustained lacerations on her calf muscle and had splinters of glass in her wounds. PUNCH Metro learnt that the incident was reported at the Alakara Police Division and later transferred to the Area D Command. A non-governmental organisation, Project Alert on Violence Against Women, which took over Ujiatolor’s case, called on the police to take the case seriously.

The Director, Dr. Josephine Effa-Chukwuma, said, “We are appalled at the situation and no one should condone any form of domestic abuse. The police should also take the matter seriously rather than regarding it as a family affair.”

When contacted on the phone, Adewunmi said, “I cannot tell you if it is true or a lie. I have no comment and I don’t want to get involved in press matter.” The Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Damasus Ozoani, confirmed that the matter had been reported to the police and investigations were ongoing.

Right From The Heart: Experiencing The Love Of God

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.'" - Matthew 22:36-37

Do you love God more than anyone or anything? Do you love God more today than a year ago? Do you love Him less? Do you love Him about the same? Do you love Christ just as much as you loved Him when you first came to know Him? Nothing is more important than us loving the Lord with all of our being.

So, what does that have to do with WHY we love God? Well, the first thing to realize is that God loves you! God loves you more than anyone on this earth loves you, more than anyone ever will. In fact, 1 John 4:19 says, “We love, because He first loved us.” You see, we love God because He loved us first! And that, my friends, is why we love Him.

In a nutshell, this is Christianity. We love God and love others, but we can only do this when we understand that He loved us first. We don’t naturally love God most. We don’t naturally love others like we do ourselves. We’re all wrapped up in ourselves, our lives, our agendas, and our priorities…yet God keeps loving us. His love never changes.

It amazes me every time I think about the fact that God loved us before we loved Him. And through Jesus Christ and what He did for us on the cross, we can finally understand that the way to know God is to know Jesus. Then we receive the love of God personally. Our lives are transformed and then we WANT to love God because we truly see that He first loved us!

Has that happened in your life? I hope you won’t let another day go by without experiencing the love of God in Jesus Christ. It is awesome, indeed!

Have You Ever Met An Angel?

HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU
  TO GUARD YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS; THEY WILL
  LIFT YOU UP IN THEIR HANDS, SO THAT YOU WILL
  NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.
                        ( PSALM 91:11-12 *NIV )

  Dear Brethren,
      One of the functions of angels is to watch over
  God's Children here on Earth.  For it is written; HE WILL
  COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU TO 
  GUARD YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS. ( HEBREWS 1:14 ) 
  Therefore it is clear that our Heavenly Father will send us 
  an angel in times of need!

      Now, let me ask you this, have you ever met an angel?
  Well I bet you have!  An angel doesn't have to be a Spiritual
  Being, sometimes they are human beings just like you
  and me.  When you think about it, we all have encountered
  another person who has been just like an angel to us.
  A person who has reached out to help, comfort and guide
  us in times of need.  The World is full of these human 
  angels!  I'll even bet that someone has even called you an 
  angel at one time or another.

      So, the next time you encounter a person in need,
  reach out and be an angel to them!  Your Heavenly Father
  will bless you for it! 

      Now may; THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
  AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE COMMUNION OF THE
  HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU.  Amen.

  With My Love & Prayers,
      your servant Allen
