Crime / OPM's Apostle Chibuzor Sends Lawyers To Secure Release Of Happie Boyz In Cyprus by Metrix147: 12:50pm On Oct 11, 2023 |
The founder of Omega Power Ministry, Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere had announced that he has deployed his legal team to secure the release of Happie Boyz who are being detained in Cyprus, ABN TV reports. These young entertainers landed in trouble and have been locked up in an undisclosed, high-security prison facility by the Cypriot security operatives. The revered man of God decided to extend an olive branch to the Happie Boyz, by planning to secure their release from prison despite their past misdeeds against him. ABN TV reports that the two young men identified as Matthew Precious Kelechi and Amakor Johnson, travelled to Cyprus for their education through the support of Apostle Chibuzor. But things took a sour turn when they played the “abandoned at sea” card on the clergyman, leaving their relationship high and dry. It was gathered that Happie Boys were arraigned before a court on Tuesday, October 10, before being remanded in prison. However, the reason for their arrest is yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report. According to unconfirmed reports, they were remanded at an underground prison by authorities in Cyprus. The pastor wrote; “Breaking News… Apostle chibuzor sent lawyers to go and release Happy boyz from prison in Cyprus.” The ex-security guards recently cried out, claiming they were abandoned by the OPM pastor and had to drop out of school.

Politics / Igbo Group In US Writes Tinubu, Alleges Plan To Assassinate Nnamdi Kanu by Metrix147: 6:37pm On Oct 09, 2023 |
A US-based Igbo group, American Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVID) has written to President Bola Tinubu, alleging that some persons in his cabinet to assassinate the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The group in a letter titled "PEOPLE WORKING IN YOUR GOVERNMENT HAVE PLANS TO ASSASSINATE MAZI NNAMDI KANU" and dated October 6, 2023 said the persons are planning to inject poisonous substance into Nnamdi Kanu’s medications. In the letter signed by the president of AVID, Chief Dr. Sylvester Onyia, and the Secretary Dr. Godson Obiagwu, the group urged Tinubu not to allow the killing of Nnamdi Kanu. The Biafra agitator has since 2021 been in detention at the DSS facility over alleged terrorism, an allegation he has repeatedly denied. An Appeal Court had discharged and acquitted Nnamdi Kanu of the allegation but the federal government had appealed the judgement at the Supreme Court. According to the group, "I hope this letter finds you well. We the American Veterans of Igbo Descent. (AVID) are aware that people in your government are planning to kill the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by forcefully administering a poisonous substance into his body by injection. "Your government should be such that protects lives, especially that of innocent man, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. It should be such that restores the rule of law that has been marred by the fragrantly disobeying of court orders by the previous administration of President Mohammadu Buhari.

Politics / Abia North: Let Appeal Court Be, Don't Reinforce Failure, Cleric Warns Wike by Metrix147: 4:06pm On Oct 09, 2023 |
Ahead of the Appeal Court judgement on who is the duly elected representative of Abia North between the APC’s Sen. Orji Uzor Kalu, LP's Nnamdi Iro Orji and his PDP opponent, Mao Ohuabunwa, Abia-born cleric, Reverend Kalu Ukpai Ota has cautioned the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike against reinforcing failure in the Senatorial District. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Sen. Kalu, a former governor of Abia State winner of the February 25 National Assembly in the state. He unseated Sen. Ohuabunwa of the PDP who spent at least eight years in the Senate. The cleric is warning Wike, a close ally of Ohuabunwa against manipulating judges of the Appeal Court to "smuggle the ineffective and incompetent Mao Ohuabunwa back to the Senate". Ota warns the former Rivers State Governor never to be deceived by Ohuabunwa, who according to him failed in his polling unit, ward, and council area in the last election. According to Rev Ota, manipulating judges in favour of Ohuabunwa would be a disservice to the people of Abia North Senatorial District. Ota, while reacting to a statement by a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP) from Abia State, Elder Cosmos Okorie, who accused the minister of working with judges to deliver Abia to PDP, said: "Wike's action if true is capable of setting the state ablaze." "I am an ordained minister of a renowned church, and it is my duty to always say the truth at all times. Manipulating Appeal Court judges in favour of Mao Ohuabunwa won't be acceptable here. We won't allow Wike to reinforce failure in our Senatorial District. Mao Ohuabunwa was totally rejected even in his own community. "So, if his people rejected him, and the entire Senatorial District, it would be a disservice to our people reinforcing him. "We are happy with what Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is doing across the five local government areas. You can see the level of development in Abia North since he was elected. He has constructed the road in my community, given our solar streetlights, built health centres and renovated schools. Therefore, we won't accept unnecessary interference from an outsider," he said. Recall that the National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia had upheld the victory of Senator Orji Uzor Kalu representing Abia North Senatorial District. A three-man panel led by Justice Samson Paul-Gang in its unanimous ruling on Tuesday, September 12, dismissed the petition of Peoples Democratic Party’s Mao Ohuabunwa and Labour Party’s Nnamdi Iro Orji for lacking merit. The court, while upholding the victory of Kalu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said that the election of the former Senate Chief Whip was compiled with the provisions of the Electoral Act. The tribunal judges also faulted the arguments of both petitioners that election did not hold in over 120 polling units mainly in Ohafia and Arochukwu Local Government Areas of the zone. Nnamdi Iro and Ohuabunwa who came second and third respectively, Labour Party, in separate suits had asked the court to overturn the election of the former Abia Governor as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, alleging irregularities. Also thrown out out was the petition of the PDP and LP was the argument that the total number of registered voters in the said affected polling units was far above the margin of win between Kalu and the first and second runners-up. The court also validated Kalu’s eligibility to contest the election stating that his trial and conviction was quashed by the Supreme Court. Two other matters filed by the LP challenging Kalu’s election were also interpreted and laid to rest by the Tribunal judges and thus declared Kalu the duly elected Senator of Abia North.

"Senator Dr Orji Uzor Kalu is a man who can never deviate from his promises to the people he represents. As a senator who values education, he is determined and committed to making all the public schools in Abia North very comfortable and conducive for pupils to learn. The story was the same at Bende LGA during the flag-off distribution at Apuanu Item Community Primary School and two other Community primary schools in Amaekpu Item, where the locals, staff, and students of the schools rained praises on Senator Kalu. Kalu who was represented by his Senior Legislative Aide, Barr Victor Etie, and his Legislative Assistant for Bende LGA, Barr Igwe Ifeanyi encouraged the pupils to make good use of the kind gestures offered to them urging them to take their studies very seriously. Principals of Apuanu Item Community Primary School and Amaekpu Item Community Primary School, while reacting to Senator Kalu's empowerment gesture thanked Kalu for taking their schools into consideration and pledged their unalloyed support and loyalty to the Legislator.

The Tribunal in its judgement on Saturday said the petition lacks in merit. The Feb. 25 National Assembly election had produced Osonwa of Labour Party as the winner. Dissatisfied with the declaration of Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC) in favour of Osonwa, Mr. Ifeanyi Uchendu, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) approached the court to challenge Mr. Osonwa’s victory. Messr Uchendu had accused INEC of not complying with the provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022, as amended in the conduct of the election.
