The traditional ruler of Enugwu-Agidi community in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, HRH Michael Okekeuche, has disowned a suspected notorious kidnapper, Mr Chukwudi Tansi who was recently arrested in the community.

Operatives of Agunechemba, the newly launched security outfit in Anambra,
had busted a kidnappers’ den in the community, arresting Tansi and recovering several arms and ammunition.

The arrest has pitched the president general of the community, Mr Ebuka Onuorah, against his traditional ruler, HRH Michael Okekeuche, as they accuse each other of being collaborators of the suspect, who is said to be a member of the community’s vigilante outfit.

Onuorah had earlier accused Okekeuche of being the employer of the suspect, insisting that he is a member of the community’s vigilante group, but in reply, the monarch called on Governor Chukwuma Soludo to investigate the involvement of the suspect in kidnapping, and also bring to book his collaborators.

The monarch denied the suspect, insisting that he is a member of the private security group of the president general, and has severally been used for various nefarious job.

Members of the Enugwu-Agidi traditional council, Mr Ifeanyi Ndulue, press secretary to the traditional ruler and Mr Victor Okeke, the cabinet secretary, who briefed journalists in Awka on behalf of the monarch, said there was need to put the record straight.

Ndulue said the accusations by Onuorah against the monarch was meant to divert attention away from himself, when in real sense, the arrested kidnapper has been his (Onuorah’s) ally.

He said: “His Royal Highness Igwe Michael Chidozie Okekeuche (Okpalariam 111 of Enugwu-Agidi) is happy with the arrest of the alleged kidnapper, Mr Chukwudi Tansi in our community.

“The traditional ruler is calling for a thorough investigation into his arrest, so as to unveil those he is working for.

“The Igwe is particularly happy that operatives have risen to the mandate of ensuring zero tolerance for crimes in the state and Enugwu-Agidi in particular. He thanked Prof. Chukwuma Soludo for his wonderful security framework in the state.”

A visibly distressed lady has cried out over a tragic accident involving her younger brother, a student of the University of Abuja.

According to her account, the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when students were struggling to get to school for a test allegedly scheduled around 5 a.m.

She explained that while her brother and a coursemate were trying to cross the road in front of the University of Abuja, a commercial tricycle (keke), reportedly driving against traffic, knocked them down.

As of the time she shared the video, her brother was said to be unconscious and already being prepared for surgery. Doctors, she stated, described his condition as critical, adding that there was a possibility his leg might have to be amputated.

The lady further claimed that although the tricycle rider was arrested, there were moves to release him, and that the school authorities had not reached out or offered any form of support since the incident.

She also revealed that the hospital initially rejected her brother due to the seriousness of his condition before eventually admitting him, while medical bills continued to pile up beyond what she could afford.
