A man has been remanded in custody after appearing in court, charged with the attempted murder of an Army officer in Kent.

Anthony Esan, 24, is accused of repeatedly stabbing Lieutenant Colonel Mark Teeton in Gillingham, on Tuesday.

The officer, who was wearing his uniform at the time of the alleged knife attack and is in his 40s, is in hospital in a serious but stable condition. Esan, who was arrested near his home in nearby Rochester, is also charged with possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.

He appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Thursday wearing a grey T-shirt and will next appear at Maidstone Crown Court on August 22.

The defendant initially asked “Why?” when he was asked to confirm his name and date of birth.

Police were called to Sally Port Gardens on Tuesday evening, which is near Brompton Barracks, the headquarters of the British Army’s 1 Royal School of Military Engineering Regiment after receiving reports that a soldier had been attacked.

Lt Col Teeton is a chartered engineer working as a course manager in the Army’s Corps of Royal Engineers.

In June this year, he raised nearly £2,500 for Combat Stress, a veterans mental health charity, by running the D-Day challenge in Normandy, a fundraising page shows.

Head of the Army General Sir Roly Walker condemned the stabbing as “horrific and unprovoked”, while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was “shocked and appalled”.

Chinedu Nwoko, popularly known as Ned Nwoko, is an interesting man. He hails from Idumuje- Ugboko in Delta State and is the serving Senator for Delta North. He is also a Muslim

What a lot of people may not know about Ned Nwoko Is that he is the only Igbo man to have reached the South Pole, and holds the record as the first black African to do so.

In 2020, Ned Nwoko embarked on a highly dangerous journey to reach the geographic South Pole, where temperatures can fall to minus 50, and oxygen levels are low. Many have died trying to get there.

So Nigeria can take us back to pre independence times? Singing an Anthem the British used in enslaving us?

I think we Igbos should start singing the Biafran national Anthem as a mark of defiance against that Nigerian Anthem

Many Igbos know the Biafran Anthem of "All Hail Biafra" even if they don't know the complete words. This new Nigerian anthem is a disgrace, and Igbos should respond to it by publicly singing the Biafran anthem.

Very true lol

I'm not the sort of person who wishes people bad but I hope this guy rots in jail

The Isi-Agu, the tradition attire of Igbos, is now being used as flowing wedding gown.

The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has appealed against the decision of a Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja, dismissing his objection to his trial continuation.

Kanu, in a notice of appeal dated and filed March 28, through his team of lawyers led by Aloy Ejimakor, prayed the Court of Appeal, Abuja to allow the appeal and set aside the trial court’s decision.

The IPOB leader had filed a preliminary objection seeking an order for some conditions to be met by the Federal Government before his trial at FHC could proceed. He had alleged that the Department of State Service (DSS) personnel often seized documents of his lawyers during visitation, stopped his lawyers from taking notes, eavesdropped on his consultation with his lawyers on matters pertaining to his defence, among others. He alleged that he had not been given adequate time and facilities to defend himself in accordance with Section 36(6)(b) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

But Justice Binta Nyako of a FHC had, in a ruling on March 19, declined to grant the objection of the detained IPOB leader. The judge, who ordered accelerated hearing of the trial, also dismissed his application for bail. However, Kanu, in the notice of appeal, listed the Federal Republic of Nigeria as the sole respondent.

He argued that the trial court erred in law when the court assumed jurisdiction to proceed with the hearing of the criminal trial against him when he was glaringly denied the constitutional right to fair trial. He alleged that he was denied adequate facilities to prepare for the defence of the criminal allegations against him and his right to counsel of his own choice, thereby occasioning a grave miscarriage of justice.

“The denial of the appellant (Kanu) of the opportunity to interact and brief his counsel on what line of defences the appellant tends to agitate in the trial court and rely on was adequately brought to the attention of the trial court by motion. The trial court failed and neglected to make necessary orders that would protect the appellant’s aforesaid rights, but rather held that the court cannot dictate how the respondent carries out its work,” he said. He said the trial court had the power to order the respondent to cease and desist from interfering with his constitutional right. Besides, Kanu said the lower court had the power to order an alternative custodial arrangement or non-custodial arrangement for him, where it is impossible for the respondent to comply or where the respondent persists in the act.

He said: “Denial of the appellant’s right to adequate facilities to prepare defence as enshrined in Section 36 (6) (b) of the 1999 Constitution is a jurisdictional issues in the absence of which the trial court cannot assume or proceed with the jurisdiction over the case, unless and until such facilities are accorded to the appellant.”

Kanu argued that though he had prayed the court to stop the DSS alleged unconstitutional acts of forcibly seizing and photocopying confidential legal documents brought to him by his lawyers meant for his defence of the charges against him, the court declined to grant the plea. He said the trial judge erred in law when the court ordered accelerated hearing, despite the consistently refusal of the respondent to afford him the right to adequate facility to prepare for his defence of the charges levelled against him and his right to counsel.

He said the order for accelerated hearing of the case, in face of the constitutional breaches of fair hearing/trial rights of the appellant, was a credence to the respondent to proceed on the unconstitutional denial of the appellant his right to adequate facilities to prepare for his defence and his right to counsel of his choice.

“In the present case, where Sections 36 (6) (b) and (c) of the Constitution are violated by the respondent against the appellant, the trial court lacks the jurisdiction to hear and or proceed with the hearing of the case,” he added.

The IPOB leader, therefore, prayed the appellate court to allow the appeal, vacate the ruling of the lower court for the trial court to decline jurisdiction to proceed with the hearing of the case, unless and until he is granted his right to fair hearing under Section 36(6)(6)(b) and (c) of the constitution. Alternatively, he urged the Appeal Court for the trial court to order an alternative custodial or non-custodial arrangement free of interference with his said constitutional right to fair hearing. He equally sought an order setting aside the order for accelerated hearing of the case in the circumstances of the case where he is not allowed facilities to prepare for the defence of the charges against him and denied his right to counsel.

Kanu sought a stay of proceedings pending when the respondent afforded him the constitutional safeguards of being afforded adequate facilities to prepare for his defence and his unfettered right to counsel.

Yoruba Nation Leader, Sunday Adeyemo, better known as Sunday Igboho, has landed in London today 1st March, after burying his aged mother.

He was recieved by his official spokesman, Olayomi Koiki, CEO of Koiki Media.

Successful Ebonyi State born businessman, John Anayochukwu Nwakpa, popularly known as 'John White', did something this New year which I urge all Igbos to do

He built his palatial country home right in the middle of no where in his Ekka village, Ezza community, Ezza North, Ebonyi State

He didn't care if the place has all the social amenities in the world, all he cared about is that his house in his ancestral land will be the best he can afford

So Igbos, if you can afford it, build in your village, build in your home town, build in your community, build in Igbo land. Stop building in Lagos, Abuja, Kano, Ibadan and other places you are not indigenous to.

Don't let them decieve you with one Nigeria, there is no such thing. The day they will come for you,it will be impossible for you to carry what you have built elsewhere, and transport to Igbo land.

Is this not the same APC that some claimed our people do not like?.

The above question was on the lips of several political watchers who witnessed the masses invasion of the state capital Awka on Saturday as Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah CON. was received by the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC)

People were seen scrambling to collect and wear APC T-shirts bearing the pictures of Senator Ubah and the president Tinubu, in order to openly identify and declare their Solidarity with the renewed hope movement that has berthed in Anambra State courtesy of the man they know his track records and TRUST .......Distinguished Senator Dr Patrick IFEANYICHUKWU Ubah CON.

The reason is simple , when the selfless is in power, the people truly rejoice and follow the man they TRUST

APC is now officially known in the state as the Anambra People's Choice.

A new and glorious dawn is in the offing.

The time has come for Anambra liberation from.mediocrity and helplessness.

Have you registered in your ward ?.

Take your stand NOW , by joining the fast moving Train or stand on the rail track so that history will place you accordingly when the story of Anambra's emergence as an investment, commercial and tourism hub , is being told to generations to come.

Remove the 5 percenters.

It doesnt matter what you remove, Nigeria won't get better

There was a time I thought nothing could be worse than PDP's 16 disastrous years in power

That was back when I was angry that a litre of petrol was moving from N65 to N90

Doller was heading towards N200 from N165

I could still drink a bottle of cold beer for N150, to forget hardship

Insecurity was largely a Boko haram issue and some militancy in the Niger Delta

Then APC came in, and in almost 10 years of APC, I can only dream of petrol one day coming down to N90 a litre

I can only dream of Dollar becoming N200 to one

Now I cant even buy a bottle of mineral for N150 to talk of beer

And Nigeria headlines insecurity worldwide

From frying pan into fire
