Due to rising tensions around the burial of the late Senator Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Soludo, ordered schools in Nnewi to close for a week.

This decision was made to prevent any possible violence after reports surfaced that non-state actors had threatened to disrupt the burial if certain issues were not resolved.

The tension increased on Wednesday evening when gunmen attacked Nnewi, killing several people and burning a vehicle. The attack, which happened around 7:30 p.m., caused panic as residents ran for safety.

The burial, scheduled for Friday, November 22, 2024, in Umuanuka village, Otolo Nnewi, led the state government to issue a circular on Thursday. It instructed all schools in the Nnewi area to remain closed until the following Tuesday. Parents were also asked to keep their children, especially day students, at home for safety.

The Anambra State Police Command denied claims that the attack was related to the burial. Police spokesperson Superintendent Tochukwu Ikenga explained that the incident was not caused by non-state actors, as rumored. Instead, it was the result of a gunfight between security operatives and a suspect at a checkpoint.

The heavy military presence at the burial was expected, as it aimed to maintain peace and order.

Thankfully, the burial went on smoothly, with no reports of violence or disturbances.

Even Burial attendees are not safe, that's what the SE has become, thanks to Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa and others.

Politicians have failed this country.. Security ought to be the topmost priority of any Government but in Nigeria, those in government have been fingered not once or twice to be part of those sponsoring insecurity for their selfish gains.
In North, it's the same thing . heavy Military presence to protect weddings or burial ceremony guests.

Unfortunate people even the dead one can't rest in peace in that erosion side

RIP Ifeanyi Ubah

Ifeanyi Ubah's burial has stirred a lot of emotions and discussions, especially with the heavy military presence and the recent violence in Nnewi. While some people are quick to criticize him for his past actions, I believe that nobody is perfect. We all have our good and bad sides, and it's essential to recognize that life is about balance.

In my opinion, we often offend others, just as we can be offended ourselves. The key takeaway here is that when we make mistakes, what matters most is our ability to apologize and seek forgiveness. Holding grudges against the dead does not serve any purpose; instead, we should focus on the positive impacts they made while alive.

I recently made a video highlighting Ifeanyi Ubah’s early life and the many ways he touched people's lives through his good deeds.

Yes, he may have had some shortcomings, but the good he did cannot be overlooked. I encourage everyone to watch my video linked in my previous post to see a different side of him. Life is too short to dwell on negativity; let’s celebrate the good and learn from the past.

Why dem dey fear

It's necessary so that Simon Ekpa's boys don't start shooting people.

What a life of Nigeria!

Safety first na... before stories that touch....
Thought it wasn't black that Obi wore ni, judging by other pictures

The security challenges we fail to address with N1 may not be resolved with N1000 in no distant future.

It´s simple!!!... pay the price now and reap the rewards tomorrow but they never learn.

Seem like he offended lots.

That's if his body has not been eaten by the IPOB terrorist cannibal monkeys.

The heavy security is for numerous personals that attend the burial


As we all knows about the insecurity in the East
