The atmosphere was charged with spiritual fervor and heartfelt celebration as the Valiant Special Prayer Squad, an intercessory arm of Adron Group’s spiritual framework, commemorated its third anniversary in an all-day prophetic gathering that also marked the 48th birthday of its founder, Olori Aderonke Omotola EmmanuelKing.

More than just a ceremonial event, the gathering was a fusion of spiritual depth and leadership tribute, highlighting the synergy between faith, corporate responsibility, and personal devotion. Olori Aderonke, who also serves as the Vice Chairman and Group Executive Director of Adron Group, has over the years exemplified a model of prayer-driven leadership and values-based stewardship.

Since its inception three years ago, the Valiant Special Prayer Squad has evolved into a spiritual backbone for Adron Group, mobilizing staff members, directors, and stakeholders into consistent intercession, prophetic declarations, and communal worship. The third anniversary, therefore, marked not just a chronological milestone, but a testament to divine guidance, unity, and spiritual growth within the organization.

The day-long celebration was rich with vibrant praise, worship sessions, moving testimonies of answered prayers, and exhortations from ministers of the gospel. Spiritual leaders and squad members led fervent sessions of intercession for the celebrant, the company, its leadership, and the nation at large, reinforcing the squad’s identity as a watchtower over corporate and national concerns.

One of the most touching moments was the outpouring of love and tributes directed at Olori Aderonke, whose commitment to spiritual discipline, staff welfare, and personal mentorship was lauded by all in attendance. Colleagues, friends, and mentees shared stories of transformation and growth under her leadership, painting a picture of a woman whose quiet strength has built bridges between the boardroom and the altar.

Adding to the beauty of the moment was the presence and participation of her husband, Aare Adetola EmmanuelKing, Chairman and CEO of Adron Group. His visible support, actively engaging in the entire day’s spiritual sessions was a reflection of their personal bond and a strong endorsement of the spiritual structure his wife has built within the company.

In her address, a visibly moved Olori Aderonke gave thanks to God for the grace to lead and impact lives. She expressed deep appreciation to the squad members, her family, and the entire Adron community for their loyalty and spiritual alignment. She also stressed the need for sustained prayer altars within institutions and homes, declaring that every lasting legacy must first be rooted in divine alignment.

The event concluded with a solemn benediction and communion service that left many in renewal and spiritual empowerment.

As the Valiant Special Prayer Squad marches into its fourth year, it does so with renewed strength, carrying a mandate to not only intercede for Adron Group but to be a beacon of spiritual order in corporate Nigeria.

President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday paid a visit to those injured in the recent deadly incident at Yelewata community in Guma LGA, Benue state.

He then moved to the Benue State Teaching Hospital, where some of the injured are receiving care, alongside Hyacinth Alia, the state governor, and other senior government figures.

The president is scheduled to hold discussions with stakeholders at the new banquet hall of the Benue state government house in Makurdi.

The final Will of the late elder statesman and former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief (Engr. Dr.) Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, CFR has been revealed, containing notable personal, legal, and philanthropic instructions, including a contentious clause that prevents his wife, Lolo Frances Iwuanyanwu, from remarrying.

The Will, officially disclosed on June 16, 2025, by its administrator, Chief Chukwuma Ekomaru (SAN), provides a detailed account of how the respected businessman, politician, and Igbo leader wanted his extensive estate to be shared.

Central to the Will is the prominent “Legacy House” located along Port Harcourt Road in Owerri. This property was left to Lolo Frances on the condition that it must not be sold. In addition to the Legacy House, Frances was also granted ownership of Magil Furniture, a family business initially managed by Iwuanyanwu’s late first wife, Eudora. She also received partial ownership of several other properties in Orji, Works Layout, and Naze, all situated in Imo State.

However, these assets were given with a firm condition: if Frances chooses to remarry, she will lose all the properties and benefits allocated to her in the Will. This stipulation has stirred various opinions among legal experts and observers, due to its impact on spousal entitlements and traditional norms.

Regarding other beneficiaries in the family, the couple’s son received the family home in Abuja, while the property in London was instructed to be sold. The Will outlines how the proceeds from the London property should be shared: 60% for the education of Iwuanyanwu’s youngest son, 30% to his first son, Jide, and 10% to Ezinne, who currently resides there, to support her relocation.

As part of his charitable intentions, Chief Iwuanyanwu requested that the notable “Glass House” near the Orji flyover in Owerri be converted into a public trust. This building is to be managed by an independent board and used for charitable work and community development, reflecting his lifelong dedication to public service and progress for the Igbo people.

Other properties in Abuja, Imo, and various parts of Nigeria were fairly distributed among his five children. In a joint message, the children referred to the Will as “honorable and just,” expressing their appreciation for their father’s legacy and wishes.

Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu died in April 2024 at the age of 81. He was widely known for his success in business, his service to the nation, and his tireless advocacy for the Igbo people. His Will captures the depth of his family relationships as well as his lasting commitment to community, values, and heritage.
