AYUBSON Life Foundation Protests Against Abortion Bill

On October 23, 2026, AYUBSON Life Foundation, a non-governmental organization advocating for the protection of unborn babies, protested in Abeokuta, Ogun State, against the Pregnancy Termination Bill passed by the Ogun State House of Assembly in September 2026. The protestors, led by Founder and Chief Executive Director Ayuba Yusuf, called on Governor Dapo Abiodun not to assent to the bill, which they argue is contrary to federal laws and the two major religions in Nigeria.

The bill, titled H.B. No. 036/OG/2026 – Ogun State Safe Termination of Pregnancy Law, was passed on September 24, 2026, during a plenary session presided over by Speaker Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide.

Yusuf emphasized that abortion is illegal in Nigeria and questioned the authority of Ogun State to legalize it. The protest culminated at the Governor's Office, where they expressed their concerns, particularly due to the administration's previous inaction on their petitions.
