BBNaija Corrupts Public Morality, UNIBEN Chaplain Warns

As the University of Benin concludes her 2019/2020 academic session, the Chairman of the Cult Renunciation, Reconciliation and Rehabilitation Committee(CR4C), University of Benin who also doubles as the Chaplain of the University, Ven. Egbenusi Osazee David, has organized a prayer possession at the University of Benin, Ugbowo Campus.

Some staff and students of the University who participated in the prayer on Sunday said it was a timely spiritual exercise especially as it was clear that the activities of some corrupt minds were geared towards polluting the academic atmosphere and truncating the developmental strides of the University’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Mrs.)Lilian Salami.

While calling on God to flush out the haters of good works and progress, Ven. David prayed that God should raise men and women who would ensure sanity, accountability, probity and excellence in the university. He prayed that God should raise men and women of integrity who would restore the culture of decency and comradeship.

Praying against the activities of cultism and other social vices, the cleric said every gate of cultism and wickedness would be pulled down.

He also prayed that God should dispel every form of darkness in all the faculties. According to the cleric, the mandate was to raise altars of righteousness against every evil merchant in the system; to tear down the garment of impunity and witchcraft and idiolatry in any form. He decreed that the gates of various faculties would become beautiful again and that God shall empower His children across the university.

He prayed that the Lord would grant the children of light access to the “thrones of faculties,” that they may receive portions, rights and memorials in their faculties and departments.

The prayer walk which began from the Faculty of Engineering was brought to a close at the Faculty of Education, Ugbowo Campus of the university.

A woman identified as Mrs Blessing Eno in Yonen community , Ugep, Yakurr Local Government Area of Cross River has killed her 11- month-old baby because a spirit asked her to do so.

The tragic incident which occured on Tuesday has left many in the community bewildered as the circumstances leading to the dastardly act were strange.

The mother of two who may be suffering from Schizophrenia (mental disorder) took out a matchet and cut off the head of the baby, claiming that the child was disturbing her and a spirit instructed her to slaughter the boy.

An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity disclosed that it was her eight-year-old son who stumbled on the gory sight of his headless brother and a blood drenched mother who  raised the alarm that attracted neighbours to the scene of the crime.

However,  the timely intervention of the police, who immidiately took the lady into protective custody, before ferrying her out of Ugep averted an angry mob from extra- judicially killing her at the station.

Meanwhile, the Obol Lopon of Ugep and Paramount Ruler of Yakurr LGA, HRM. Obol Ofem Ubana Eteng, has expressed shock over the tragic incident while calling for calm.

The monarch also, assured the people that he was certain that the police would handle the matter professionally to a logical conclusion.

“We appealed directly to young people in Ugep, to toe the path of peace and rational thought in the face of this heinous crime and they positively responded.

“We are in shock but we are calm and have left this matter in the hands of the police, I can assure you that there will be no reprisal action because we must remain law-abiding,” he said.
