What you said then, why did Nigeria not tear when the monkey was re- arrested and now imprisoned.

mrvitalis:
Tinubu must be really desperate for Obi to run Lmaooo
Tinubu knows his only chance of winning is if obi runs

gidgiddy:
Of course it would be boring for the APC unity beggars who only remember there's insecurity, only if it is the South East

Why would the release of 5 thousand terrorists concern such people, they are from the North and not South east

Okechinwadike:
don't be offended we can never be one let's not deceive ourselves we are not one

gidgiddy:
And five thousand Boko haram have been released to go back to what they were doing. Yes, the most important thing is purnish Kanu, release Boko haram, offer ruga to killer herdsmen and give amnesty to armed bandits

Government is on the right track

And your father cannot do anything

So pathetic 😁

Anambra State has taken a bold step to combat criminal activities linked to ritual killings and fraudulent spiritual practices with the enactment of the Anambra State Homeland Security Law 2025.

The new law, signed by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, aims to purge the state of criminal elements masquerading as native doctors and spiritualists, who have been accused of fueling a culture of get-rich-quick schemes through occult practices.

The law specifically targets “evil native doctors, fake native doctors, and false prophets”, all of whom are now considered persona non grata in the state. Authorities emphasize that this is not a ban on traditional religion but a necessary measure to curb the rise of dangerous practices that have led to ritual killings and criminal activities.

Reports indicate that certain ritualistic practices, including the use of the Oke-ite pot—a clay vessel allegedly infused with body parts, herbs, and other ritualistic elements—have been linked to human sacrifice and money-making rituals. Other associated practices, such as Uduakomili, Ibobo, and Awale, are also believed to contribute to the erosion of Anambra’s moral fabric by promoting fraudulent wealth acquisition.

In addition to these, Odeshi charms, which are said to provide bulletproof protection for criminals, have been widely used by kidnappers and armed robbers, further worsening insecurity in the state. These criminal activities have been blamed for luring Anambra’s youth into illicit means of acquiring wealth, undermining traditional Igbo values of hard work, diligence, and honesty.

Historically, Igbo society placed great emphasis on ethical business practices. The Igba-boi system, where young apprentices work under a master before earning the right to start their own businesses, has been internationally recognized, even by institutions like Harvard University, as a model for business incubation. However, recent years have seen a shift towards an unhealthy obsession with quick wealth, often without legitimate means.

Parents, once the custodians of discipline and integrity, are now accused of enabling their children’s criminal activities. Some even go as far as funding “Yahoo training schools”, where young people are taught online fraud under the pretense of reclaiming wealth from the West. This societal decay, according to critics, has resulted in a generation that prioritizes extravagant lifestyles over genuine hard work.

In response to the growing menace, Governor Soludo’s administration has launched Operation Udo-Ga-Achi, backed by a structured security network, Agunechemba, aimed at tackling crime at its roots. This initiative seeks to restore Anambra’s reputation as a land of industrious and morally upright individuals.

State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to eliminating criminal elements, stating that “the fight is for the soul of Anambra”. He urged citizens to support the enforcement of the Homeland Security Law, ensuring that traditional practices are not used as a cover for criminal activities.

As the battle against Oke-ite and its affiliated rituals intensifies, the government remains firm in its resolve to sanitize the state, ensuring that the next generation of Ndi Anambra upholds the values that once made the Igbo people a global model of hard work and integrity.

The detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has declared that he would prefer to remain in detention for the rest of his life rather than be tried by a corrupt and biased court or judge.

Kanu made this statement in an open letter to the public, which he personally signed from his detention at the Department of State Services (DSS). The letter was made available through his Special Counsel, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor.

Kanu vowed that “if it will take the rest of my life in detention to produce me before a proper and impartial court, so be it”.

“But let me say this for the world to know: I will not succumb to any trial conducted by any judge or court whose jurisdiction does not pass constitutional muster. Not now, not ever,” he said in the letter.

“I have been compelled by the events of the past few days to take the unusual step of writing this Open Letter for the singular purpose of calling the attention of the general public to the serial executive and judicial fraud being perpetrated against me since my extraordinary rendition in 2021,” Kanu said.

He recalled that in a judgment entered on March 1, 2017, the Federal High Court in Abuja ruled that the “IPOB is not an unlawful group”.

“This landmark ruling made by the court before it turned unjust emanated in criminal proceedings that required “proof beyond reasonable doubt” and in which the federal government and my humble self presented our respective cases.

“Alas! Instead of the federal government to go on appeal as the law mandated (if they are dissatisfied with the judgment), the former Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami, went behind closed doors with a letter signed by late Abba Kyari and got IPOB proscribed/tagged a terrorist group in an ex parte proceeding conducted without notice to me or to the IPOB.

“This abominable incident was the earliest sign yet that the government and its judiciary have struck an unholy and fraudulent alliance to deny me my rights and thereby imperil the lives and liberty of millions who identify with IPOB.”

He further recalled that on October 26, 2022, a Federal High Court declared his extraordinary rendition and detention as unconstitutional.

According to the IPOB leader, the court stated that the “manner of arrest and detention of the Applicant (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) in Kenya, his continued detention in Abuja, his subjection to physical and mental trauma by the Respondents”.

“The inhuman and degrading treatment meted out to the Applicant amounts to a brazen violation of the Applicant's fundamental right to dignity of his person and threat to life under Section 34 (1)(a) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended),” he quoted the court as saying.

He noted that the court further ordered the Nigerian government to apologise to him and pay him compensation.

Kanu said, “In a responsible and well-ordered society, run by a responsible government, this judgment is sufficient to have ended my lengthy detention and encourage the federal government to constructively engage me on the issue of the self-determination agitation that triggered this whole saga.”

He also recalled that on October 13, 2022, the Court of Appeal held that “courts must never shy away from calling the executive to order when they resort to acts of ‘executive lawlessness’”.

Quoting the Court of Appeal, he said, “The duty of the Courts is to maintain a balance between ensuring that law and order is obeyed and the protection of the individual from oppressive actions by the executive.

“By the forcible abduction and extraordinary rendition of the Appellant (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) from Kenya to this country on the day of June 27, 2021, in violation of international and state laws, the lower Court or indeed any Court in this country is divested of jurisdiction to entertain charges against the Appellant.”

Kanu noted that despite the clarity of the Appeal Court judgment and its comportment with reason, the Nigerian government refused to release him from detention.

“It went behind closed doors and connived with three other justices of the Court of Appeal who fraudulently and swiftly sat on appeal over the judgment and practically destroyed it by issuing what they termed ‘a stay of execution,’” he said.

“One may then ask: Is it not abominable for a court to stay a judgment the government already disobeyed?” he said.

He further stated that in multiple cases, the Supreme Court has held that anybody who disobeys a related court order cannot be given any judicial relief until such order is obeyed.

He said, “This is a sound reasoning that applies to everybody but is fraudulently overlooked when it comes to my case.

“Fast forward to December 15, 2023 when the Supreme Court sent back my case to the Federal High Court for trial.

“For the avoidance of doubt, that was not the only decision the Supreme Court made. It also decided that my bail should not have been revoked and it went on to state clearly that the judge exhibited significant and unacceptable bias by revoking my bail.

“In a sane society, one would expect that when the High court received my case from the Supreme Court and hunkered down for trial, it was also duty-bound to restore my bail in line with the pronouncement of the apex court.

“But that did not happen. Why?

“Well, your guess is as good as mine and that is, the Court connived with the federal government to continue my detention in violation of Section 287 of the Nigerian Constitution while they plotted to railroad me through an unfair trial that already has a predetermined verdict.”

He continued, “On September 24, 2024, I decided that I have had enough of taking my chances at getting justice from a judge that, in June 2021, sent me to secret police detention without fair hearing, later refused to transfer me to prison to better prepare for my trial and capped it all by refusing to restore my bail and instead ordered an accelerated trial in the face of the reality that I will never get a fair trial whilst detained at the DSS.

“These are the major reasons that compelled me to request recusal of the judge and having consented to it, she proceeded to make an order removing herself from my case. That order was never challenged on appeal, thus it remains extant to this day.

“But instead of the Chief judge of the Federal High Court to do the lawful thing by assigning my case to another judge, he connived with the federal government to eat crow and send my case to a judge that stands recused by a valid order.

“To conclude this Open Letter, let me make it clear that it should in no way be construed to mean that there are no decent judges in Nigeria that can be trusted to deliver even-handed justice in my case.

“That is not the issue. Instead, the issue is that my case is deliberately being shielded from judges and justices that are deemed to be committed to doing justice even when it means that the federal government must lose.”

A Catholic priest, Rev Fr Jude Onyeka, has been abducted by gunmen in Anambra State. The incident occurred on Thursday evening, February 13, 2025, along the Building Material-Ugwunwasike Bypass in Ogidi.

Also, an unknown man was kidnapped on Saturday evening in Nnewi. A source said the man, who was driving a Mercedes Benz SUV, was double-crossed and taken into their car, with his vehicle abandoned on the way.

A video circulating online shows bystanders announcing the number plate of the vehicle for those who may know him to be able to identify it.

Meanwhile, the kidnap of Fr. Onyeka, popularly known as Fr. Marshal, a priest of the Onitsha Archdiocese who previously served as the Parish Priest of St. Edmund Catholic Church, Nkpor, before his recent transfer to St. Dominic Catholic Church, Abatete, in Idemili North Local Government Area, was announced by the Chancellor of the Catholic Archdiocese of Onitsha, Rev. Fr. Prudentus Aroh.

He confirmed the abduction in a brief statement to the Onitsha Archdiocesan Presbyterium platform. He reported that the kidnappers have not yet established contact with the church or the victim’s family.

He said, “The Metropolitan Archbishop of Onitsha, Most Rev. Valerian M. Okeke, has called for fervent prayers for Fr. Onyeka’s safe and swift release. He urged the faithful to seek the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Priests, as efforts continue to secure the priest’s freedom.”

Police Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Command, SP Ikenga Tochukwu, however, said the command has not received a formal report of the incident.

That was as a result of anger. At least they had a pot of rice. But in the case of southwest they don't have any food at all that's why they keep shouting "ebi o ebimpawa o".
