A church service recently turned into an unexpected scene when popular Nigerian gospel singer, Pita, interrupted his performance to call out a man attempting to steal his phone.
The incident, which was caught on camera and is now trending online, occurred while Pita was leading the congregation in a worship anthem, “I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised.”
Just as the spirit-filled moment soared, Pita suddenly paused, looked down, and shouted, “Stop!” catching many worshippers off guard.

According to eyewitnesses, Pita had spotted the suspicious activity right from the altar and quickly alerted church officials while still holding the microphone.
The suspected thief, who had allegedly tried to sneak away with the singer’s phone, was immediately apprehended by church security.
Pita’s quick action not only saved his device but also prevented what could have been a bigger disruption in the middle of the worship session.

Court dismisses case against Ayefele
Legit.ng earlier that the High Court of Justice, Ibadan Judicial Division, Oyo state, has dismissed a defamation suit filed by one Moses Daodu against Fresh FM Nigeria Limited and its founder, Olayinka Ayefele.
The ruling was delivered on Monday, June 23, at Court 9 of the High Court by Honourable Justice Sule in Suit No. I/773/2023. The suit, which had generated public interest, was struck out following a preliminary objection filed by the defendants’ legal team, Olamiji Martins and Adedayo Aborisade of Marvic Alpha Legal Practitioners.
In its judgment, the court held that the claimant failed to file a counter affidavit in response to the Defendants’ Preliminary Objection, which had been served since December 2023. This, the court ruled, amounted to a lack of intention to oppose the objection.
