For the first time, the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye replied to critics who links him to demonic powers praying God to take his life within 24 hours if what they claim, is true.

Reacting at the ongoing 71st annual convention of the church, Pastor Adeboye asked the congregation to pray that if his critics are wrong in their claim that he uses demonic powers, God will increase His power in his life sevenfold.

Adeboye who said he never wanted to respond to his critics, said: “I normally don’t pay attention to the sayings of so-called prophets, particularly if they are saying something about me, I just ignore them. But I realised recently that some people are saying Pastor Adeboye is using demonic powers. That there are some demonic powers in Redemption City and I will go and consult them, then I will say; ‘ My father said… Initially, I don’t really bother but a few days ago while on a prayer walk I felt the leading that there must be some people who believe these things. So I will ask you to pray that if I consult any devil anywhere that God will kill me before sunrise”, he said.

The congregation who were initially jolted by the G.O’s prayer request all rose in unison to make the double prayer requests.

The RCCG General Overseer called on Nigerians never to despair but to be more fervent in prayers to secure the unity of the nation.

Praying against any form of war in and outside the country, pastor Adeboye emphasised that Nigeria have a lot of challenges she is currently battling with adding that no one should pray for war but peace.

In his words: “We are not praying to be appreciated but we are praying because it’s our duty to pray I discovered that most of us no longer pray maybe because we don’t value the prayers. God still answer prayers. Don’t be distracted Nigeria still needs a lot of prayers. I am a small boy but I was on the battlefield during the civil war, not as a soldier but I stayed close to the battlefield and with my experience then, if anybody asks me to choose between war and peace, I would choose peace”

“We are already fighting many wars in Nigeria, we are fighting war against kidnappers, terrorists. There are still places today in Nigeria where when they go to bed, they would not be sure if they would be alive the next day. We are fighting a war against some people who think if you plant, your harvest is for their cows. And if you complain that their cows eat your harvest, they kill you.

“We are still fighting some serious wars and surely we don’t want more wars, we want to overcome the current ones.”

NBSAP Validation: HOMEF Commends FG, Says It’s A Welcome Step Towards Food Sovereignty, Biosafety

Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF) has commended the Federal Government for endorsing the revised National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP).

Recall, in June 2025, Nigeria officially approved its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, NBSAP, 2025-2030, aiming to stop and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

According to the Nigerian government’s statement, the NBSAP fully aligns
with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (K-M GBF), with a focus on halting and reversing biodiversity loss by 2030.

The revised National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan, NBSAP, has been adopted as a comprehensive government policy with 23 national targets, each aligned with the corresponding global biodiversity targets and goals.

Reacting to the development in a statement made available to INFO DAILY by Kome Odhomor, Media/Communication Lead, HOMEF, the Executive Director of the organisation, Dr Nnimmo Bassey, stated that it is a vital step toward protecting Nigeria’s biodiversity and advancing environmental
justice.

“We are especially encouraged by NBSAP’s firm stance on the regulation of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), which aligns with ourBlong-standing advocacy for biosafety and food sovereignty. In a time when the indiscriminate adoption of genetically engineered crops is
increasingly being pushed by multinational interests, NBSAP rightly
cautions that unregulated GMO use could be catastrophic to our environment, health, and sustainable development,” he said.

Also, Joyce Brown, Director of Programmes and Lead on Hunger Politics, HOMEF, noted
that “the Strategy’s support for traditional plant breeding,
non-transgenic biotechnologies, and the fair sharing of benefits from biological resources reflects a welcome policy shift. It affirms the rights of smallholder farmers and communities to control their seeds and food system, putting the power back in the hands of people.”

They, therefore, “urged the government to back this with action by halting GMO approvals pending a biosafety audit, reviewing the National Biosafety Management Agency Act 2015 as amended in 2019, in line with the National Biosafety Framework, investing in agroecology, and supporting community seed systems.

“HOMEF remains committed to ensuring Nigeria’s biodiversity thrives, free from genetic pollution and corporate control.”
