The Kano State Censorship board has warned event centres, DJs and other entertainment centres against promoting or accommodating indecent behaviour during this years Eid celebration.

The board said it would clamp down on any entertainment spot found promoting indecent dressing during the festive period.

This is disclosed in a statement by the board’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Sani Sulaiman on behalf of Lawan Hamisu Dan Hassan, Director of the Film and Publications Department of the board.

The statement added that a special task force has been established to monitor activities across entertainment venues during Eid, adding that free mixing between males are females is strictly prohibited.

The statement added that the committee will operate under the supervision of Alhaji Lawan Hamisu Dan Hassan, Director of Film and Publication Department of the Board.

He said the committee would ensure no free mixing and indecent dressers or those under influence are denied entry into all entertainment spots.

According to the statement, the committee would work covertly and openly, from the first to the last day of Eid to ensure full compliance.

He issued a stern warning to owners of event centres, clubs, and DJs to adhere strictly to the board’s regulations or face the consequences.

He also urged parents to continue guiding their children with good morals and pray for a peaceful and successful Eid celebration.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said the power of prayer over the nation has kept the nation saying, “Some say, ‘You’ve been praying and fasting — where is the result?’ I laugh. If we had not prayed, Nigeria would have been in a far worse state. Let’s not stop.

He also declared that RCCG operates under a divine shield — a supernatural covering that has preserved the church from calamities since its inception.

Speaking on Sunday during the monthly Thanksgiving service and special prayer for security and paramilitary personnel at the RCCG national headquarters in Ebute-Metta, Lagos, Adeboye
added, “There is a God who rules in the affairs of men. If those praying would pause for just one week, the difference would be terrifying. Keep praying. God controls the hearts of kings.”

Adeboye preaching on the topic “Shadow of the Almighty,” talked about miraculous accounts that point to what he described as the “peculiarity” of RCCG under God’s shadow.

He said, “I never preach church or denomination, but there is something peculiar about the Redeemed Christian Church of God. There is a shield over the RCCG — unseen but undeniably present.”

Adeboye recalled how a building in the United States, which hosts an RCCG house fellowship, was the only one spared in a row of 15 houses during a devastating flood. “House after house was flooded, but house number eight — the only one with a sign that read, ‘House Fellowship of RCCG holds here’ — remained untouched,” he said.

He also cited a fire incident in March at Otedola Bridge, Lagos, where a blaze razed multiple buildings but mysteriously spared an RCCG structure. “The buildings before and after were consumed, yet the RCCG building was left standing. That is not a coincidence — that is divine covering,” Adeboye said as the church’s media team projected the image during his sermon.

He emphasized that although God’s protective presence may not always be visible, it is powerful and ever-present for those who abide in Him. “Your security is only assured in Him. Whether in peace or war, young or old, the Almighty casts a shadow of protection over His own,” he declared.

Earlier in the service, his wife, Pastor Folu Adeboye, led a passionate session of prayer for the peace and progress of Nigeria and those in leadership. “Let’s ask God to show our president mercy and give him peace, so that he may enjoy his time in office,” she prayed.

The Thanksgiving service, which also honored security and paramilitary forces, highlighted RCCG’s ongoing commitment to spiritual intercession for Nigeria’s peace and divine protection for its people.

The General Overseer of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has said that since his wife’s death, he has been on a revenge mission against the devil.

Kumuyi, who remarried in October 2010, claims he has travelled to more countries and continents since her passing.

Abiodun Kumuyi died at 57 in April 2009.

The cleric claimed the devil took advantage of his absence from home and that he got the call when he was done preaching at Faith Clinic.

According to Kumuyi, the next phase of his ministry is “revenge”.

“Since the time (of her death), for me to revenge on the devil, I have gone to many places since she left,” Kumuyi said, while speaking at the Global Workers’ Conference.

“I have covered most local governments in Nigeria. I’ve gone to almost all the nations in Africa. I have gone to all the continents of the world.
