SHOCKING: Pastor And His 6 Children ABDUCTED By Gunmen In Lagos
SHOCKING: Pastor And His 6 Children ABDUCTED By Gunmen In Lagos
A 27-man gang on Friday abducted a pastor, Mr. Godson Akubiro, and six
of his children from their Adeosun Street residence, Koya Estate, Igbo
Olomu, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Akubiro is said to be the founder of Mountain of Breakthrough Church in the area. The incident was said to have occurred about 1.30am.
Neighbours, who requested anonymity, told PUNCH Metro that the gunmen arrived at Akubiro residence in three jeeps and a Toyota Tundra vehicle. The number plates of the vehicles were said to have been covered. The gunmen, who wore army camouflage, had allegedly gained entrance into the house with the aid of an iron cutter.
It was learnt that since the abduction, no one had heard from Akubiro and his six children.
The Community Developmen Association Chairman, Mr. Yinka Obasan, said he was alerted about the development about 2am.
“I got a call that night from a resident who was coming from a vigil. He told me that he noticed some military vehicles parked outside Akubiro’s home. He said the vehicles belonged to a high ranking military official because the insignia was covered.
“I told the man to wait for me and together we went to Akubiro’s home. When we got there, I greeted the men I met outside and introduced myself as the CDA chairman. I asked them if there was a problem. Instead of answering me, they turned on my companion and accused him of alerting me.
“After berating both of us for not minding our business, they forced us to sit on the ground and seized our phones. There was another resident sitting on the ground; they had detained him since 12am when they arrived. Then they started beating us.”
It was learnt that inside the Akubiro residence six of Akubiro’s children were in the sitting room watching a movie, when the men, said to be dressed in dark googles, black jeans and heavy bullet proof vests entered.
It was gathered that they told the terrified children that they were policemen and proceeded to drag their father, who was sleeping, from his bedroom into the sitting room. The six children, whose ages ranged between 30 and eight years, were beaten up.
One of them, an eight-year-old named Emeka, was allegedly tied to a tree in the compound. No reason was allegedly given by the gunmen for their actions.
Another 18-year-old boy named Obiora was said to have been tortured with a taser. Akubiro’s wife, Rita, was said to be away on a trip to South Africa at the time.
It was learnt that the gunmen later took Akubiro away along with Ada, his first daughter, Obiora, Oyinyenchi, Felicia,, Nonso and Kingsley. Three person were allegedly left behind – Emeka, Chidera and a baby.
Obasan said, “Around 2.45am, those who were inside came out with Akubiro and his children. They said they were going to the man’s church to burn it down – Akubiro is the founder and head of the Mountain of Breakthrough Church on Breakthrough Street in this estate.
“They put their victims in their vehicles and zoomed off. Before leaving, they threw our phones at us.”
It was gathered that immediately the gunmen left, a report was lodged at the Owutu Police Division.
However, the DPO was said to have denied that the gunmen were policemen.
It was learnt that since the incident, no one had been able to establish contact with Akubiro and his children. His wife Rita, who returned from South Africa the following day, was said to have received no calls concerning their whereabouts.

paw paw and its health benefits
personally prefer to eat pawpaw when it is fairly ripe and crunchy, though its antioxidant content is higher when fully ripened and soft. Pawpaw, also known as papaya may be very helpful for the prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetic heart disease due to the fact that they are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A, through its concentration of pro-vitamin A carotenoid phytonutrients. These vitamins are very powerful antioxidants that help prevent the oxidation of cholesterol. Oxidation of cholesterol can lead to formation of dangerous plaques in blood vessel walls that can eventually cause heart attacks or strokes.
This effect can be explained by the fact that vitamin E and vitamin C is closely related to a compound called paraoxonase, which is an enzyme that inhibits LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol oxidation. Pawpaw has also been shown to lower high cholesterol levels simply because they are high in folate. The folic acid found in papayas is needed for the conversion of a substance called homocysteine into benign amino acids such as cysteine or methionine. When homocysteine levels are too high because they have not been converted, it can directly damage blood vessel walls leading to a heart attack or stroke.Unique to pawpaw are protein-digesting enzymes like papain and chymopapain. These enzymes in addition to the antioxidant nutrients have been shown to help lower inflammation and to improve healing from burns.In terms of immune support, pawpaw is not left out due to its high content of vitamin C and vitamin A which is made from the beta carotene found in its skin. You can therefore prevent recurrent ear infections, colds and flu by simply enjoying your papaya. Smokers may have an ally in papaya because of its rich content of vitamin A. Studies have shown that diets high in vitamin A greatly helps to reduce complications associated with cancer and emphysema. So, if you smoke, or you are frequently exposed to second-hand smoke, it is wise to increase your intake of pawpaw and other vitamin A rich foods.The nutrients in pawpaw have also been shown to be helpful in the prevention of colon cancer. Papaya’s fiber, apart from aiding digestion by increasing our bowel movement, is
able to bind to cancer-causing toxins in the colon and keep them away from the healthy colon cells.
In addition, papaya’s folate, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and vitamin E have each been associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer. When these nutrients work together, they provide protection for colon cells from free radical damage to their DNA. If you want to reduce your risk of colon cancer, where else can you get these synergistic protection if not from pawpaw?

Five (5) Reasons Why you must Eat Watermelon
Big, sloppy slices of watermelon served at a picnic table are
the quintessential summer snack—sweet enough to be dessert but, as
several recent studies remind us, good for our health as well. (And only 84 calories per wedge!)
1. It soothes sore muscles.
According to a new study in the Journal of Agricultural Food and Chemistry,
drinking watermelon juice before a hard workout helped reduce athletes'
heart rate and next-day muscle soreness. That's because watermelon is
rich in an amino acid called L-citrulline, which the body converts to L-arginine, an essential amino acid that helps relax blood vessels and improve circulation. The study's seven participants, all men, were given 17 ounces (500
mL) of either natural watermelon juice, watermelon juice enriched with
additional citrulline, or a placebo drink an hour before their workouts.
Interestingly, the natural juice was just as effective as the enriched
juice. The researchers also determined that intestinal cells can absorb
more citrulline from watermelon juice than from citrulline supplements,
especially when the juice is unpasteurized.
2. It helps heart health.
Postmenopausal women experienced improved cardiovascular health
after six weeks of taking commercially available watermelon extract
supplements containing citrulline and arginine, according to a study
published earlier this year by Florida State University physiologist Arturo Figueroa. And in a 2012 study—also led by Figueroa—such supplements helped alleviate high blood pressure in obese, middle-aged adults. (Not surprisingly, he's received two grants from the Watermelon Promotion Board.)
3. It could be a natural Viagra.
Improved circulation can benefit more than just the heart, as at least one watermelon researcher has pointed out
But you'd probably have to eat an awful lot to achieve the desired
effect--and eating too much could cause unfortunate side effects, since
watermelon has long had a reputation as a natural diuretic.
4. It's rich in vitamins and minerals, but low in calories.
Given its name, you might assume the fruit has little nutritional value—and it is more than 90 percent water. But a 10-ounce (300-mL) wedge of watermelon packs in about one-third of the recommended daily value of vitamins A and C as well as a modest amount of potassium (9 percent of the daily value).
5. It could even combat cancer.
Watermelon is among the best dietary sources of lycopene, an antioxidant linked to both the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, although scientists are still investigating the details of that connection.
