Ajibola, widely known as Baba Isila, was ambushed along with his associates around 9:50 pm near the Community Bank in the MDS area. Eyewitnesses reported that suspected gunmen opened fire on a blue Toyota Corolla carrying Ajibola and his friends.

One occupant of the vehicle described the terrifying ordeal, stating that the attackers chased their car while firing repeatedly. They managed to drive to the Dugbe Divisional Police Headquarters for refuge, after which the assailants fled the scene.

Ajibola sustained severe injuries in the attack and was immediately rushed to the UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, where he remains in critical condition.

The Osun State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, strongly condemned the violence and demanded a swift, thorough investigation. He stressed that the attack appeared to have political undertones and urged the police to act professionally and impartially to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has called on Nigerians to stop targeting the general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye, with their frustrations regarding the state of the nation. She contends that the clergyman is being incorrectly singled out and is not to blame for Nigeria’s current difficulties.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Ezekwesili emphasized the following points in her statement:

• She characterized Adeboye as a humble servant of God who has spent his life advocating for peace and national development.

• While acknowledging that many Nigerians want religious leaders to be more vocal in demanding government accountability, she maintained that Adeboye has consistently offered prayers and spoken up for the nation.

• She explained that long-standing issues—such as systemic corruption, economic hardship, and insecurity—have left Nigerians exhausted and deeply distrustful of politicians, institutions, and influential figures.

• She warned that the country has a tendency to prioritize less significant issues rather than addressing urgent national crises.

• Ezekwesili noted that while Adeboye typically responds to criticism with “dignified silence,” she felt compelled to speak publicly to refocus attention on the “urgency of this moment” and the core issue: the need for religious leaders to help rescue the nation from “ineffectual, corrupt, and selfish politicians”.
