Adedayo Adejobi Founder of Word Assembly Ministries, Ilorin, Evangelist Isaac Omolehin, has said he and more than 100 vulnerable residents of his camp in Kwara State, have remained homeless since

Evangelist Isaac Omolehin, founder of Word Assembly Ministries in Ilorin, Kwara State, has revealed that he and over 100 others at his camp have been forced from their homes due to bandit threats. The camp, which housed orphaned children, staff, schools, a hospital, an old people's home, and a rehabilitation centre for mentally challenged women, was evacuated by police in the early hours of May 30-31, 2026.

Omolehin, a vocal critic of denominational divisions in the Nigerian church, claims the police warned of an imminent attack by kidnappers. Despite the camp's buildings remaining intact, it has been deserted since the evacuation, leaving residents homeless. Omolehin, who has gone into hiding, describes the humanitarian impact of the displacement, noting that the camp's facilities are now unusable.

He has appealed to both federal and Kwara State governments to improve security in the area so he can return with his family and the people he cares for, including children referred to the facility by government authorities.
