CrimeRe: Tension ln Delta Community Over Death Of Woman By Stray Bullet by NaijaCover(op): 8:11am On Mar 10, 2025
What Is Really Happening Inside Delta State.
CrimeTension ln Delta Community Over Death Of Woman By Stray Bullet by NaijaCover(op): 8:11am On Mar 10, 2025
There was tension in Okpanam, Oshimili North local government area of Delta State, following the alleged killing of a woman by an Anti-Cult group’s stray bullet.

The woman, identified as Miss Isioma Nwayalani, aged 26, was allegedly felled by a stray bullet in front of a chemist shop adjacent to the palace of Ugoani of Okpanam, located at Obodogba quarters, Okpanam, on Saturday evening.

Findings revealed that the Anti-Cult members, in a jubilant mood, were shooting into the air sporadically, but unfortunately, a stray bullet from one of them hit the woman who is said to be a nurse. She was immediately rushed to Asaba Specialist Hospital, where she reportedly gave up the ghost at about 7.30pm.

According to an eyewitness account “the sad incident occurred when men of the Anti-Cult returned to their office also located within the same vicinity from a burial ceremony at Agbor, lka south LGA. They were shooting into the air sporadically but unfortunately, a stray bullet from one of them hit the girl.”

Meanwhile, the president-general of the Okpanam Youth Organisation, OYO, confirmed the death which he said arose from an accidental discharge from a rifle belonging to an anti-cult member.

In a statement titled, “Okpanam Youth Organisation Condemns The Killing Of One Of Her Own” signed by Comrade Fidelis Okonma, secretary-general, OYO, in a bid to stop the rising tension, pleaded that it is essential to channel the emotions constructively, rather than allow them to escalate into further discord or unrest.

“On behalf of Hon. Lucky Okolo, the President-General of the Okpanam Youth Organisation, This heartbreaking event has understandably stirred a wave of emotions, l urge for calm and unity during this difficult time.

“The loss of Miss Nwayalani is a profound tragedy that has impacted not only her family and friends but also the entire community. In moments like these, it is natural for feelings of anger, confusion, and grief to surface.

“It is important to remember that this incident was an accident and the individual involved did not intend for such a devastating outcome. We must approach this situation with empathy and understanding, recognizing that the anti-cult member is also grappling with the consequences of this unfortunate event while in police custody. Blame and hostility will not bring back Nwayalani or heal the wounds inflicted upon our community,” he pleaded.

However, Comrade Victor Ojei, Lead Advocate For the Young Nigerian Rights Organisation, lamented that some youths in Okpanam are already trying to justify the extrajudicial killing of the nurse.

He called on Delta State government to checkmate the Okpanam Anti-Cult group and others handling guns, saying it is a strict liability in law and that calling it an accidental discharge should not be accepted.

“If he had no intention to shoot, why did he cock the gun? That’s pure carelessness. The actions of the anti-cult member resulting in the death of the nurse can indeed constitute criminal liability. The term ‘accidental discharge’ does not absolve an individual from responsibility, especially when negligence or recklessness is involved.

“You need to see how recklessly they fire their weapons daily—bullets flying everywhere. Those living in Okpanam can testify because they witnessed this abuse of power firsthand.

“The late nurse should get justice. There is nothing like accidental discharge, a gun has a safety pin. You only cock your pin when you are faced with a threat, else you ensure it is on safety,” Ojei stated.

Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Command, Bright Edafe, confirmed the Anti-cult member whose shot allegedly hit the girl in the stomach had been arrested.

CrimeMan Flees As Girlfriend Found Dead In Lagos Apartment by NaijaCover(op): 4:59am On Mar 10, 2025
A Yet-To-Be-Identified boyfriend of a graduate of Lagos State University identified simply as Adija has absconded after his girlfriend was found dead in his apartment located in the Meiran area of the state.

PUNCH Metro gathered on Sunday that the incident occurred on February 26 when the lady visited her boyfriend following his request.

An Instagram User, @Eyeopener, who shared details of the incident in a post, disclosed that Adija’s family became concerned when she did not pick up her calls prompting them to check on her at her boyfriend’s place as she had notified them of her destination.

The user narrated that upon getting to the apartment, the door was locked and they broke it to gain entrance where they discovered Adija’s lifeless body.

@Eyeopener wrote, “The couple had been dating since her 100-level days, and their relationship had always been toxic. The victim, whose parents reside in Ketu, often spent weekdays at her boyfriend’s place, only going home on weekends.

“On Wednesday night, around 8:30 pm, she received a call from him and went to see him. However, by the next morning, her phone kept ringing with no response. Concerned about her whereabouts, her family, knowing she was likely at her boyfriend’s house, went to check on her.

“Upon arrival, they found the door locked. When they finally managed to force it open, they were met with a tragic sight – her lifeless body on the bed, covered with a duvet.”

@Eyeopener added that neighbours noted that they heard noise from the apartment but did not bother to check on them because it had become a recurring noise.

“Neighbours reported hearing her voice on Wednesday night but did not intervene, as fights between the couple were frequent. It wasn’t until the tragic discovery that they realised the worst had happened. Meanwhile, the boyfriend has since absconded.”

When our correspondent reached out to Adija’s family on Sunday, they declined to comment on the matter at that moment.

The victim’s sister, who chose to remain unnamed, in a telephone conversation with our correspondent, noted that the family would speak with the press at an appropriate time.

Meanwhile, a close relative of the family, identified as Tosin, told our correspondent in an exclusive conversation on Sunday that Adija’s mother was a single mum who had been solely responsible for raising and educating her children.

Tosin said, “The woman suffered so much raising them. She’s a single mum, and the lady in question was an easy-going person.

Some days ago, I heard that the guy was calling the mother, saying he’s also ready to die.”

Confirming the incident in a telephone conversation with our correspondent on Sunday, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, said the police were making efforts to arrest the suspect.

“Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the suspect,” Hundeyin said in a terse message.

PUNCH Metro also reported on Friday that the Ogun State Police Command launched a manhunt for a man simply identified as Oju, from Calabar, Cross River, who reportedly stabbed his 36-year-old wife, Josephine Isaac, to death in the Agbure community, Ogun Waterside Local Government Area of the state.

The spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, disclosed that one Blessing Isaac, the younger sister of the deceased, reported the tragic incident to the Abigi Police Division on Thursday at about 9:30 am.

Blessing reportedly informed the police that, at about 1 am on Thursday, Josephine, who was married to the suspect, had a violent dispute with him. In the process, he allegedly stabbed his wife multiple times in the neck, leaving her dead.

Chaos In Onitsha As Anti-Touting Squads Allegedly Abduct Woman, Vigilante Operatives

Pandamonium erupted in the Awada area of the commercial city of Onitsha, Anambra state, following the alleged invasion of the office of Awada Central Landlords Association by a combined team of Special Anti-Touting Squad, SASA and Agunechemba Squad who allegedly abducted a lady clerk and two Vigilante operatives attached to the Awada Central landlords association.

In Anambra state, the SASA men are known as Ndi Akaodo (Pestle Boys) because their Hummer buses patrol streets and highways while armed with pestles and machetes.

The SASA/Agunechemba combined team also allegedly destroyed properties worth millions of naira, including Vigilante vehicles, motorcycles, office doors, and windows, after which they were said to have bolted away with two assault English Pump Action rifles, telephone handsets, security gadgets and an unspecified amount of money running into thousands of naira belonging to the landlords association and the security operatives.

The alleged invasion, abduction, destruction, and carting away of their arms and other gadgets, according to the source, followed a scuffle between the angry residents of Orsumoghu Street, Awada, who allegedly mistook them for kidnappers.

On one side, the residents of Orsumoghu Street, Awada, and the Vigilante operatives attached to the Awada Central Landlords Association were at the center of the scuffle, and on the other, the SASA squad was on the opposite side.

According to the Chief Security Officer, CSO of the Awada landlords association, Uchechukwu Jude Ukachi, “The angry street boys attacked the SASA men otherwise known as (Akaodo) (Pestle boys) in Osumoghu security sector, and when my men who are the Awada central vigilantes were called and informed about the attack, I told my Commander, Chukwuemeka Okoye to send his boys and when they went there, they discovered that the street boys were exchanging banters with the Akaodo boys.”

When they saw my vigilante men who had come to know their mission in Awada, the Akaodo boys abandoned the street boys who were having an altercation with them and faced my men to ask them about their mission in Awada.”

“At once, the Akaodo boys launched a violent attack on my men; my Commander rushed to the scene and removed the keys of their Hummer bus, and asked my boys to go back to the office.”

“The commander returned and gave me the situation report while handing me the Hummer bus key.

When I saw it was a key to an official vehicle, I rushed to the scene to give them back their vehicle key but did not see any of them inside the car.

“When I asked the people around the area, they told me that all the Akaodo boys abandoned their Hummer bus and fled when the angry street boys intensified the attack against them.”

“I told them that if any of them come back to the vehicle, they should tell them that I, the CSO Awada, asked them to come and collect their key from our office, and I went back to the office.”

“My question now is how did this matter concern my office that warrants Operation Udo Ga Achi to accompany the Akaodo boys to our office to destroy everything, loot, and abduct my men?”

“They even went to the extreme by climbing upstairs to the office of Awada Central Landlords Association to break the doors and ransacked all nooks and crannies.”

“If I may ask again. How did the attack launched against the Akaodo boys by Awada Street Boys somewhere at Orsumoghu Street concern me and my men that warranted Operation Udo-Ga-Achi squad to come to our office to destroy and loot?’ I think it is a pure, calculated attempt and conspiracy designed to rubbish the name of my company, Jufuso Security Agency.”

Ukachi, who is the Chief Executive Officer, CEO of the Jufuso Security Agency, a Police Registered outfit based in Anambra state, stated that residents of Orsumoghu Street revolted against the woman’s arrest because according to them, the SASA men had no right to arrest a woman because her husband is merely accused of being a drug peddler, moreso, when the SASA men were being accused of frequenting the area with tricycles, harass and extort the residents.

“When I visited the scene and could not find any of the SASA men around to return their vehicle key, I quickly called the Divisional Police Officer at Awada Police Division, but his phone was not connecting, and I then called the Divisional Crime Officer, DCO and narrated the incident to him and he told me that the SASA men were threatening to come and attack the vigilante units in Awada.”

After hearing from the DCO that SASA men said they would come to attack us, I called my men and instructed them not to return the attack or shoot anyone if they came, and by the time I came back to the office, behold, the SASA men had invaded and unleashed the mayhem.”

“On informing the DCO that the SASA men had eventually attacked my men, he rushed to the scene, took inventory of the volume of damages done to Awada Central Landlords Association Office, and left.

“During the invasion, the combined team of Akaodo and Operation-Udo-Ga-Achi broke into the secretary’s office, financial secretary’s office, and the cashier’s office, ransacking the drawers and taking a huge sum of money belonging to the landlords association individually and collectively.”

“They abducted two of our men, whose names are Jideofor Ozoemenam and Chinedu Okonkwo, and the lady cashier also called Chinwe and drove off, saying that they would come back for another round of attack and that they would be frequenting the attacks on us until we are disbanded.”

At the time of filing this report, Ukachi told reporters that only the lady cashier had been released by the SASA men among the three abductees, while the two other victims who were alleged to have been battered by the abductors were still in their custody.

Lamenting that the SASA men are still threatening to stage a comeback, Ukachi warned that he would no longer sit back and watch them attacking his men again without returning fire for fire this time around.

Also speaking, Vice Chairman of Awada Central Landlords Association, Chief Walter Ohiri who spoke on behalf of the President, Chief Patrick Oyeduba (Obi Ebubediike), said the Orsumoghu Street residents were provoked by the manner with which these SASA men invade the area frequently to harass, intimidate and arrest innocent persons only to release them after extorting as much as N150,000; N200,000; N300,000 and N400,000 as the case may be.

The commander of Awada Landlords’ security outfit and his assistant also told newsmen that the SASA men collected their phones and many other security gadgets while leaving their office after wrecking all the havoc.

In his speech, the Commander of the Orsumoghu Street Vigilante unit, Awada, Chibuike Alfred, told newsmen that the SASA men stormed their office with Agunechemba, shouting, “No more security in Awada from today. ” They ransacked every nook and cranny and made away with their bulletproof vests, torchlights, machetes, and other security gadgets belonging to the unit.

But in a reaction, the Administrative Officer of SASA, who spoke to reporters in his office gate on anonymous condition, admitted that his men actually ransacked Awada Landlords office in search of their official vehicle key, which their security operatives seized, adding that the security operatives were the first to attack and inflict grievous injuries on SASA men, using their gun butts and machetes.

He, however, denied abducting any person or persons from the Vigilante office.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Tochuckwu Ikenga, who confirmed the incident, said the police have waded into the matter and restored calmness, even as he disclosed that the police have engaged stakeholders to bring the three governmental agencies together for a round table discussion and amicable settlement.

A 62-Year-Old hotel attendant, Abel Johnson, was found dead in his room at De-Lay Classic Hotel in Kajola Village, near Obafe Town, Ogun State.

The spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, disclosed this to PUNCH Online on Friday.

Johnson was last seen in good health around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, before retiring to his room for the night.

However, concern arose when he failed to report for duty the next morning
.

Odutola stated that Johnson’s colleague, Shobayo Ahmed, accompanied by a woman identified as Johnson Blessing, reported the incident to the police at the Owode Egba Division around 1:00pm on Friday.

She informed PUNCH Online that the officers who visited the scene conducted a physical examination of the body and found no visible signs of violence.

She said, “He was found in the hotel room. There were no signs of foul play when detectives from the Owode Egba Division visited the hotel room.

“Photographs were taken, and the corpse has been deposited at the State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta, for an autopsy.”

A similar incident was reported by PUNCH Metro in November 2024 when the lifeless body of 51-year-old Sunday Abidoye was discovered in a room at Creestar Hotel, GRA, Sagamu.

Likewise, in February 2025, the body of a police inspector, Haruna Mohammed, was found at Super G Royal Hotel, located in the Anthony Uzum Estate, Oyeyemi Akute area of the State.
