The children of Samuel Ogbomwan who was the late founder of the Christ Apostolic Church of God Mission, CACGM, have blamed the withdrawal of the security personnel for recent robbery attacks on their father’s house.

They were referring to a recent episode when the robbers reportedly broke into the house and succeeded in carting away valuable house items.

This is one of the series of complaints by the children of the late founder of the Church who say that there is no visible trace of any of them in the leadership structure of the church unlike other ministries like Church of God Mission, Living Faith Church, Spirit and Life Church, etc

They said despite requests, the church, without any rationale has constantly refused to admit any of them into Statutory church boards as if there is a deliberate plot to leave out his children or heirs who are members of the Church from critical roles.

In a related development the children have frowned at the nondisclosure without proper account of the sum of #1000 which the Church asked members to pay for the burial of the late wife of the founder.

Contacted, Head of Communication and Media of CACGM, Rev Ileonomon Idehen, denied the allegations, saying security personnel were withdrawn when wife of the late founder also died, adding that all these happened last year and not recent as claimed.

On the compulsory N1000 allegedly collected from each member of the Church, the head of communications said this happened when their (children) mother died last year, adding that it was voluntary and not compulsory.

“All what you are talking about happened last year, their mother died more than a year ago so I don’t know why this is coming up. The N1000 you are talking about was a voluntary donation for their mom’s burial, I was part of the burial committee, so there is nothing hidden. The records are there for everyone to see. So there is no single truth in all the allegations,” he added.

The leadership of the National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS South-West Zone D, has announced plans to picket South African companies in Nigeria following the ongoing xenophobic attacks in the country.

DAILY POST reports that some Nigerians were recently killed in South Africa over the violent attacks.

A statement issued to newsmen by Comrade Adeyemo Josiah Kayode, Coordinator, NANS South-West, Zone D, said that the association is mobilizing to take decisive and lawful action by organizing peaceful picketing and mass advocacy against South African business interests operating in Nigeria.

“We categorically state that the continued targeting of Nigerians under any guise is unacceptable and must come to an immediate end.

“This will include major corporations such as MTN Group and MultiChoice Group. It is morally indefensible for businesses to thrive in an environment where the lives of Nigerians are protected, while Nigerians are subjected to fear and violence elsewhere.

“This contradiction will no longer be tolerated,” the statement said.

First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has opened a new round of applications for its SheVentures proposition, offering zero-interest loans of up to ₦10 million to women entrepreneurs to ease access to working capital and support business growth.

The facility provides loans ranging from ₦500,000 to ₦5 million under a general category, and ₦5 million to ₦10 million for sector-specific businesses, with funding capped at up to 50% of an applicant’s average monthly turnover.

At the centre of the offering is a 0% interest rate, with all charges embedded in a transparent structure.

Repayment is structured over four or six months, allowing businesses to match obligations with their cash flow cycles.

Yemisi Edun, Managing Director and Chief Executive of First City Monument Bank (FCMB), said the initiative reflects a deliberate approach to inclusive growth.

“Inclusive growth requires access to capital and the right conditions for businesses to deploy that capital effectively.

“Women-led enterprises are critical to economic activity, yet they face structural barriers.

This intervention aims to help close that gap by providing financing that supports job creation, business expansion, and long-term sustainability for women entrepreneurs.”

“Access to affordable finance remains a major constraint for women entrepreneurs,” said Nnenna Jacob-Ogogo, Group Head, SheVentures and Impact Segments at First City Monument Bank (FCMB).

“By removing the cost barrier and offering quick, flexible funding, this zero-interest loan is designed to safeguard existing jobs, enable businesses to invest in growth initiatives, and foster resilience in challenging economic conditions.”

Women-owned businesses account for a significant share of Nigeria’s small and medium-sized enterprises but continue to face high borrowing costs and limited access to credit.

Through these efforts, SheVentures tackles persistent financing gaps facing women-led businesses, combining targeted funding with broader support to empower women entrepreneurs, encourage business innovation, and enhance their ability to compete on a national scale.
