Two children die in fire outbreak in Akwa Ibom


A couple identified as Mr and Mrs Francis Ekanem has lost their two children and home, in Ikot Usen, Ibiono Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom State, to fire caused by a lit candle in the house.

The couple are bean cake (akara) traders.

They were said to be outside grinding the beans needed to prepare their product later in the day while their children were asleep in a room where the lit candle was placed.

The candle fell and started a fire but the busy couple were not aware at the initial stage.

Eyewitness say the children cried for help and tried to escape from the house but could not because of the burglary proof.

The parents then rushed to neighbours for help after they were alerted to the fire outbreak.

Sadly, the children were burnt to death before they could be rescued.

Police say it has opened an investigation into the incident.

My husband will never renounce struggle – Nnamdi Kanu’s wife tells Buhari



The wife of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, has denied her husband is giving up on the fight for independence.

This is coming following reports that the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) was negotiating with the Nigerian federal government on the possible release of Kanu, on the condition that he would renounce Biafra.

But Uchechi Okwu-Kanu in a statement maintained that the recent allegations against her husband Nnamdi Kanu were incorrect and insulting.

Anybody thinking that my husband will renounce Biafra is certifiably insane,” she said, adding that “MEND does not speak for her husband.”

“This type of news as distressing as it is, is laughable because no group can postulate what my husband can or cannot do or say. This is not only an insult to our belief and of our rights as a people, perpetrated by dishonourable minds”, she further stated.

Kanu’s wife added that “It is now apparent that the charges against my husband are politically motivated and not a judicial process as President Buhari would have the world believe.

“This singular act of tyranny and injustice against my husband amongst others is reprehensible to every reasonable mind and is one of the critical reasons for the emergence of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) who have in their quest, consistently called for the release of my husband, which President Buhari has underplayed.

“Subsequently, Nnamdi Kanu should be present at any negotiations and I can refer President Buhari to F.W. de Klerk of South Africa on how to negotiate with a freedom fighter.”

The IPOB had equally released a statement stating their leader had not “consented to any agreement”
