The Freedom Apostolic Revival International Ministry (FARIM), Abuja Prayer Centre, has announced a three-night prophetic programme tagged “Prophecy and Solution”, scheduled to hold from January 22 to 24, in the Federal Capital Territory.
The programme, which will run daily from 9:00 p.m., is expected to take place at the Gymnasium Hall, Package B, National Stadium, Abuja, and will be ministered by the General Overseer of the ministry, Prophet Samuel Adebayo Ojo (Baba Authority).
According to the organisers, the three-night gathering is designed as a special season of intense prayer, prophecy and divine intervention, aimed at addressing spiritual, personal and societal challenges confronting individuals and families.
Speaking on the programme, church officials said the prophetic sessions will focus on providing spiritual direction, solutions to lingering issues and renewed hope through prayer and the ministration of the word.
“The Prophecy and Solution programme is a divinely inspired gathering for those seeking clarity, breakthrough and divine answers,” the ministry stated, adding that participants can expect a powerful atmosphere of worship, prophetic declarations and life-transforming encounters.
The event is expected to attract worshippers from Abuja and neighbouring states, as well as believers travelling from different parts of the country to participate in the night services.
Freedom Apostolic Revival International Ministry has continued to host large-scale prayer and revival programmes across Nigeria, with Prophet Samuel Adebayo Ojo widely known for prophetic and revival-focused ministrations.
Organisers have urged members of the public to attend and take advantage of what they described as “three nights of supernatural encounter and divine solutions.”
Before now, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has been regarded as a city where peace and security were supreme. Regrettably, two recent deaths that shook public confidence in the security of the FCT reveal that such a sense of assurance has been eroded increasingly. NICHOLAS KALU reports.
A capital losing its sense of safety
For years, Abuja has worn the image of a guarded capital, a city of wide roads, planned districts and visible security presence. It was often said to be one of Nigeria’s safest major cities; a place where order prevailed, and violence felt distant. But that sense of assurance has been steadily eroding, and recently, it collapsed under the weight of two disturbing deaths that shook public confidence and forced a difficult conversation about insecurity in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The victims were two professional women, a nurse and a lawyer, both navigating routine journeys within the city. Their deaths, initially believed to be linked by a common pattern of ceone-chan attacks, have since revealed a more troubling and complex reality. While one is still suspected to have fallen victim to commuter robbery, the other was kidnapped, tortured and killed despite ransom demands and police intervention.
The first victim, Chinemerem Pascalina Chukwumeziem, was a nurse at the Federal Medical Centre in Jabi. According to reports, she had completed her duties and boarded a vehicle to return home, a familiar routine for thousands of healthcare workers who work long hours and commute late into the night. She never arrived.
Her body was later found by the roadside, sending shockwaves through the health sector and beyond. The National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives condemned the killing, describing it as a painful reminder of the dangers faced by healthcare workers who must move around the city at odd hours to keep essential services running.
Although investigations are still on, the circumstances surrounding her death, particularly her disappearance after boarding a vehicle and the location where her body was found, have kept suspicion focused on “one-chance” criminal gangs, long notorious in Abuja for posing as legitimate commercial transport operators before attacking passengers.
Just days later, Abuja was plunged into further shock with the discovery of the body of Princess Nwamaka Mediatrix Chigbo, an Abuja-based lawyer, along the Kubwa Expressway. Chigbo was a former Treasurer of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Abuja branch and a respected member of the legal community.
At first, the details appeared to fit the familiar “one-chance” pattern. Her bag was found some distance from her body, a sign often associated with attacks in which victims are robbed and dumped. Documents recovered at the scene suggested that she was a member of staff of the FCT High Court. Early reports and social media posts quickly grouped her death with that of the nurse, reinforcing fears of a resurgence of deadly commuter attacks in the capital.
In a detailed statement issued by Dr Maureen Chigbo, Publisher of Realnews Magazine and a former President of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers, the family disclosed that Princess Nwamaka was abducted by kidnappers, not killed by one-chance operators.
According to the family’s account, the incident occurred on Monday, January 5 2026, in the Federal Capital Territory.
Before her abduction, the lawyer had been on a phone call with her sister, Anthonia. The call was briefly interrupted when Anthonia attended to a client. When she returned to the call, the line was still live, and she could hear her sister’s distressed cry before the phone suddenly went dead.
Repeated attempts to reach her were unsuccessful. When a call eventually connected, a male voice speaking in English and Hausa demanded three million naira and threatened that she would be killed if the money was not sent.
As the family tried to make sense of the situation, they made repeated calls to the number. During some of these attempts, they say they could hear Princess Nwamaka screaming in pain. In one of her final pleas, she reportedly told her family that she was dying and begged them to send the money. The phone then went silent and unreachable.
The family contacted the FCT Police Command and reached out to senior police officers, including the Inspector-General of Police. They were eventually linked to the Commander of the Scorpion Squad, the unit responsible for kidnapping cases in Abuja. According to the family, they were informed that the police were tracking the kidnappers and that the victim might be released once the ransom was secured.
Throughout Monday night, the family remained in contact with the police, holding on to the hope that Princess Nwamaka would be rescued alive.
By the early hours of Tuesday, January 6, hope began to fade. Later that day, the family was informed that a woman in critical condition had been found and taken to a specialist hospital in Abuja. When identification was requested, Maureen Chigbo immediately travelled from Lagos to Abuja.
At the hospital, she found her sister’s lifeless body in the mortuary. According to the family, the lawyer had bruises, swollen eyes and a cracked skull, all signs of severe torture. The family later met with police authorities, who assured them that investigations were going on and that those responsible would be apprehended.
Princess Nwamaka’s death triggered renewed outrage within the legal community. She was described as a committed professional, an active member of the NBA, the International Federation of Women Lawyers and the Global Association of Female Lawyers, as well as a deeply devoted Catholic with leadership roles in several religious groups.
The clarification surrounding her death has reshaped the conversation about insecurity in Abuja. What initially appeared to be a wave of “one-chance” killings is now understood to be a convergence of different but interconnected crimes, including commuter robbery, organised vehicle theft and kidnapping.
The danger lies in how easily these crimes blur into one another, creating confusion that criminals exploit and making response more difficult for law enforcement agencies.
Kubwa and a notorious red spot
Both deaths have drawn attention to Kubwa, one of Abuja’s busiest satellite towns and a major commuter hub linking the city centre to surrounding areas. Within Kubwa, residents frequently cite Jaji Street, located behind Kubwa Market in the Old Maitama Kubwa area, as a notorious hotspot for criminal activity.
Residents and traders say cars parked along Jaji Street often disappear within minutes. In 2025 alone, over 10 vehicles were reported stolen from the area, according to local accounts. Informal warnings circulate constantly, advising motorists to avoid parking there, while many residents believe the pattern of crime is widely known yet insufficiently addressed.
Security analysts warn that areas where property crime persists without disruption often evolve into breeding grounds for more violent offences, providing criminal networks with logistics, escape routes and confidence.
Just like Jaji Street in Kubwa, there are similar pockets of criminal activity quietly emerging across Abuja, areas that residents now recognise as no-go zones after certain hours. From poorly lit inner streets to informal parking stretches near markets, motor parks and residential clusters. These locations thrive on weak surveillance, slow emergency response and growing public fear.
As insecurity deepens, criminal groups appear to be adapting faster than law enforcement, identifying vulnerable spaces where cars can be stolen, victims attacked, or residents intimidated with little immediate consequence. What worries residents and security observers alike is that these hotspots often operate in plain sight, gradually becoming normalised as danger zones, suggesting a city struggling to contain the spread of organised street-level crime before it becomes entrenched.
A city under strain
Abuja’s rapid expansion has further complicated its security challenge. While central government districts remain heavily guarded, satellite towns such as Kubwa experience weaker patrol coverage, poor lighting, congested road networks and limited surveillance infrastructure.
As a result, everyday activities such as commuting from work, entering a vehicle or parking a car now carry a heightened sense of risk for residents.
The deaths of Chinemerem Pascalina Chukwumeziem and Princess Nwamaka Mediatrix Chigbo should not be reduced to passing tragedies. One may have been killed by suspected “one-chance” operators and the other by kidnappers, but both deaths expose the same uncomfortable truth. Insecurity in the Federal Capital Territory has grown more complex, more daring and more deadly.
Until those realities are confronted with decisive and transparent action, Abuja’s residents will continue to move through the city with caution rather than confidence, hoping that an ordinary journey does not become their last.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command yesterday announced the arrest of three notorious robbery suspects involved in the killing of an Abuja-based lawyer, Chigbo Nwamaka Mediatrix.
The suspects are Saifullahi Yusuf, 22 – from Kaduna State, resident at Dan-Tata Community; Dei-Dei, Abuja, Ishau Yusuf, 24 – from Kaduna State, resident at Dan-Tata Community, Dei-Dei, Abuja and Minka’ilu Jibril, also known as Dan-Hajia – from, Kaduna State.
The police said the first and second suspects are brothers.
The police said Mediatrix was killed last week by ‘one chance’ operators but her family insisted that she was murdered by kidnappers for failing to pay a N3million ransom on time.
Her body was discovered on Kubwa Expressway Roadside.
FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Police Josephine Adeh said the arrest followed the directives of the Commissioner of Police, Miller Dantawaye, to ensure that the perpetrators were nabbed.
She said between January 5 and 10, a team led by the command’s Scorpion Squad, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police Victor Ogbeide Godfrey, tracked the victim’s mobile phone and followed up at Dei-Dei, Dakwa, and Dan-Tata communities in Kubwa.
Adeh said the suspects are members of a notorious “one-chance” armed robbery syndicate who had been operating in the FCT for several years, particularly during festive periods.
She said about 5:50 p.m. on January 5, this year, Princess Chigbo boarded their black Volkswagen Golf 3 car on the Kubwa Expressway, unaware that the occupants were criminals. Upon entry into the car, the suspects wound up the tinted windows and threatened the victim with weapons to force her to pay ransom for her release. When she allegedly refused to cooperate, she was assaulted and pushed out of the moving vehicle on the expressway, resulting in her death.
The police said the suspects admitted to dispossessing the victim of her Android mobile phone, later sold at Dei-Dei for N120,000.
Jibril received N30,000, Yusuf got N15,000, while Ishau and the suspect at large, Musa, shared the balance, she added.
The police recovered five scissors, two sharp dagger knives, two knives, one long chain used for restraining victims and a plier from the suspects.
Investigation is ongoing, and efforts were in top gear to apprehend the fleeing suspect, as well as to uncover any criminal networks linked to the syndicate, Adeh said.
She said Dantawaye commended the operatives for their efforts and reassured residents of the Command’s commitment to rid the Territory of criminals.
“”Members of the public are once again advised to remain vigilant, avoid boarding unregistered or suspicious vehicles, and promptly report any suspicious activities through the command’s emergency numbers,’’ she added.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command said investigations into the killing of two women who were found dead in separate locations in FCT are linked to the activities of “one chance” gangs operating within the nation’s capital.
One of the victims, Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumeziem, was a nurse with the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, whose killing subsequently drew condemnation from the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), FCT Council, and many other organizations.
Recall a statement by the chairman of NANNM, FCT Council, Jama Medan, the association, on Tuesday, said Chuwumeziem closed from afternoon duty on January 3 and boarded a vehicle on her way home, but never arrived alive.
Her body was later discovered to have been dumped in what the association described as a “most inhumane and heartbreaking manner.”
The NANNM described the killing as not only an attack on the nursing profession but “an assault on healthcare workers and humanity at large,” calling on security agencies in the FCT to immediately investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.

The second lifeless body of Princess Chigbo Mediatrix, a former Treasurer of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Abuja Branch, was discovered by the roadside along the Kubwa expressway, Abuja.
Findings and indications suggested she might also have fallen victim to “one chance” hoodlums.
According to an X post, Princess Ochigbo was found dead by the roadside at a different location in Abuja on the same day, with documents recovered suggesting she might have been a staff member of the FCT High Court.
The handler, who provided the update with an image of the deceased woman and her ID, noted that her bag was discovered, flung a short distance away from her body, a pattern consistent with previous one-chance attacks, where victims are robbed, assaulted, and, most times, thrown out of moving vehicles.
Reacting to the sad incident, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josphine Adeh, on Wednesday confirmed the incident and that proper investigations are ongoing to unravel the truth and circumstances surrounding the killings.
Adeh promised to provide more information on the case.
She said, “The FCT Police Command is aware of this sad incident. Discreet investigations are ongoing to unravel the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident. More information will be provided in due course, and investigations progress.”
Meanwhile, a police source told our correspondent that the FCT Commissioner of Police, Miller Dantawaye, has doubled security men on patrol within the FCT over what people have described as escalating operations of ‘one chance’ gangs.
The source said, “If you look at it during the festive season, we did not experience that. Unfortunately, these incidents are happening now. But the CP has deployed more men across the nation’s capital to tackle the security menace. There should be improvement soon.”
Two women have been found dead in separate locations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in incidents linked to the activities of “one chance” gangs operating within the nation’s capital.
One of the victims, Chinemerem Pascalina Chuwumeziem, was a nurse with the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Jabi, whose killing subsequently drew condemnation from the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), FCT Council.
The second victim, Princess Ochigbo, was said to be found lying lifeless by the roadside, with indications suggesting she might also have fallen victim to “one chance” hoodlums.
In a statement by the chairman of NANNM, FCT Council Jama Medan, the association said Chuwumeziem closed from afternoon duty on January 3 and boarded a vehicle on her way home but never arrived alive.

Efforts to reach the FCT Police Command for updates on the two incidents proved abortive.
SMS and Whatsapp messages sent to its spokesperson, Josephine Adeh, were not responded to as of press time.
Although the FCT Police Command established an Anti-One Chance Squad in 2018, attacks have continued, raising questions about enforcement, surveillance and accountability.
Fire caused by crackers gut eight rooms, two shops in Kwara
Fire destroys 11 shops In Yola shopping mall
Fire has gutted Ibro Fish, a popular relaxation spot in Abuja
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Fire Service said the incident had been brought under control without casualties.
The Comptroller of the FCT Fire Service Command, Amiola Adebayo, said upon receiving a distress call yestersday around 12:25 a.m, he and firefighters moved to the scene and put out the fire almost an hour later.
He said the fire was “caused by an object thrown from outside the premises during New Year’s celebrations, which landed on a thatched roof in the restaurant”.
An inferno caused by firecrackers engulfed has happened behind Sidi Shopping Complex, Aperan Road, Omu-Aran, Irepodun Local Government Area, Kwara State.
The incident involved a storey building comprising about eight rooms and two shops.
The fire affected the store in the building.
Firefighters contained the blaze.
Spokesperson of the state Fire Service Hassan Adekunle said: “Preliminary investigation revealed that the fire was caused by a firecracker (banger).
“A boy reportedly threw the firecracker into the store after feeling heat on his hand while playing with it, which led to ignition of combustible materials in the store.”
Adekunle warned parents and guardians to monitor children and strictly discourage the use of fireworks and firecrackers, especially in residential and commercial environments.
Also, fire in the early hours of yesterday destroyed 11 shops in a popular shopping mall in Fallujah. the Adamawa State capital.
Fallujah, which began to grow rapidly a little over a year ago after traders were relocated there from an older shopping mall being reconstructed by the state government, witnessed the incident as the new year was being heralded.
A source, Mallam Abubakar Yahaya, a trader at the mall, said the fire started around midnight, just when the neighbourhood, a very commercial hotspot, would otherwise have been in noisy new year’s celebrations.
According to him, wares in the 11 affected shops were burnt completely as nobody was immediately aware that the fire was on.
He said local guards and policemen later arrived and mobilised the human efforts that stopped the fire from spreading to other shops in the thickly populated mall.
The cause of the fire was yet to be determined up to when this story was filed Thursday afternoon, but it is believed to have started from a shop containing secondhand clothes where there might have been an electrical spark.
Operation Sweep, a special security task force of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), on Monday carried out coordinated raids on motor parks and other strategic locations across the FCT to flush out criminal elements ahead of the festive season.
The Director of the Security Services Department, FCTA, Mr Adamu Gwary, said the operation was aimed at ensuring a safe and secure yuletide for residents and visitors to the nation’s capital.
Gwary, who spoke through the Secretary of the Command and Control Centre, Dr Peter Olumuji, said the exercise would be sustained throughout the festive period.
He explained that the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, had issued a clear directive to all security agencies under Operation Sweep to rid the territory of all forms of criminality.
According to him, the operation has already recorded significant successes and will continue with constant monitoring of motor parks and other vulnerable locations.
Gwary said illegal motor parks being used by “one chance” criminal syndicates to abduct unsuspecting commuters were being dismantled. He added that shanties and other structures harbouring criminal elements were also being destroyed.
“We want to tell all miscreants and criminal elements in the FCT that the territory will be too hot for them to operate. We no longer have a haven for criminals in the FCT, and they should take note of that,” he said.
The director disclosed that several arrests had been made, numerous shanties demolished, and criminals posing as taxi drivers dislodged during the operation.
He stressed that the primary objective is to safeguard lives and property across the FCT during the festive season and beyond.
He further noted that, in collaboration with security agencies, the FCTA had deployed personnel to the identified blackspots across the city to provide tight security throughout the celebrations.
Gwary also called on operators of motor parks and event centres to ensure that only individuals with verifiable identities, especially motorists, are allowed to operate within their facilities.
Commending the task force, the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Jabi Motor Park, Abuja, Adamu Abubakar, said the operation was helping to rid the city of “one chance” operators.
He added that the initiative was contributing to the sanitisation of transport operations within the FCT.
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) at the weekend gave reasons for the sharp drop in the quality of telephone services, especially in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja and its environs.
The regulatory body, however, assured that collaborative approach is currently being explored with major stakeholders and licensees to address the challenges.
The Commission’s Head of Public Affairs, Mrs. Nnenna Ukoha, made this known in a statement on Saturday.
She urged subscribers to be patient over the quality of experience, saying that the challenges were largely caused by disruption to diesel supply affecting IHS Nigeria Limited, the colocation provider responsible for powering Airtel and MTN base stations in the affected areas.
She explained that the disruptions were as a result of the activities of the National Oil and Gas Suppliers Association (NOGASA), which cut diesel supplies to sites with the attendant telecommunications services outages in Abuja.
Mrs Ukoha said the NCC was committed to ensuring seamless communication services for all Nigerians and recognized the importance of reliable power supply for the provision of optimal telecommunication services.
Ukoha said NCC was actively engaging with relevant stakeholders to address the diesel supply issues and explore sustainable solutions.
“The Commission urges all parties to work together to collaboratively resolve these challenges swiftly by removing the diesel supply bottlenecks affecting critical telecommunications infrastructure, arising from NOGASA’s actions,” she added.
Ukoha stressed the commitment of the NCC to fostering a conducive environment for the growth and sustainability of telecommunications services in Nigeria.
“We are taking proactive steps to facilitate dialogues between the impacted service providers and other stakeholders to promptly resolve the diesel supply concerns that have negatively impacted service quality.
“The Commission remains dedicated to effectively managing the situation and will keep the public updated on progress towards restoring full telecommunication services in Abuja.
“We thank telecommunications subscribers for their understanding and patience during this period and reaffirm our commitment to delivering high-quality telecommunications services nationwide,” Ukoha said.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, governors of the 36 states, Education Commissioners, and other key stakeholders are set to meet in Abuja to discuss solutions to the challenges confronting Nigeria’s education sector and outline necessary reforms.
The gathering, tagged The Nigeria Education Forum (NEF), is being organised by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) through its Committee of States’ Commissioners of Education (COSCEN). The forum is scheduled to hold from December 9 to 10.
Edo State Commissioner for Education, Dr. Emmanuel Paddy Iyamu, said the meeting will enable policymakers and stakeholders to refocus the nation’s education system for greater effectiveness through improved access, better funding, and enhanced learning outcomes.
Dr. Iyamu, who also chairs the Steering Committee for the 2025 NEF, said one of the key sessions—chaired by the Vice President—will feature the Senate President, NGF Chairman, governors, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, ministers, heads of education agencies, and Commissioners of Education.
He explained that the session aims to set a clear vision for education finance reform and will include an industry–academia dialogue focused on aligning research, innovation, and workforce development with national and subnational sustainable development goals.
The event, to be held at the Abuja International Hotel, will bring together a broad cross-section of leaders and stakeholders committed to reshaping the future of Nigeria’s education system.
“As the country continues to grapple with persistent challenges in funding, access, quality, equity, and relevance, NEF 2025 focuses on one of the most urgent priorities in the sector: developing sustainable models of education financing through stronger collaboration between society (the town) and academia (the gown).
“Under the theme, ‘Pathways to Sustainable Education Financing: Developing a Synergy Between the Town and Gown in Nigeria,’ this year’s forum seeks to foster a renewed national dialogue on how universities, industries, communities, and all levels of government can jointly build a resilient, well-funded, and future-ready education landscape.
“The theme reflects the pressing need to rethink how Nigeria mobilizes, allocates, and utilizes educational resources in a way that ensures long-term stability and national competitiveness,” he said.
He noted that in view of the growing financial inadequacy being experienced in the nation’s education sector, it was imperative to reimagine the mode of financing to ensure the attainment of the required development at both the national and sub-national levels.
“The NGF, through the Committee of States’ Commissioners of Education (COSCEN) hopes to encourage community participation in school safety and academic development.
“Nigeria’s education sector remains central to its social and economic advancement. However, with increasing population growth, rising demands for quality learning, and the continuous evolution of global skills requirements, the current financing structures are insufficient to address emerging realities.
“The 2025 Nigeria Education Forum will therefore spotlight innovative financing frameworks—including public–private partnerships, endowment models, industry-driven research funding, community investment platforms, and technology-enabled cost-efficient solutions.
“A major emphasis of NEF 2025 is advancing a culture of shared responsibility for education. The ‘town and gown’ model encourages universities to move beyond the walls of academia and engage directly with society, industry, and government for practical impact.
“At the same time, it calls on companies, communities, and policymakers to see academic institutions not only as training grounds but as engines of innovation, problem-solving, and economic growth.
“Participants will examine how institutions of learning can build stronger linkages with industries, leveraging collaboration for research commercialization, internship pipelines, workforce development, and revenue-generating partnerships.
“NEF 2025 will also explore how local communities, philanthropists, alumni networks, and state actors can play more active roles in sustaining educational growth through financing,” Iyamu said.
