The Anambra State Government has introduced a bold new law targeting the misụ̀se of supernatural powers for il.legal and h@.rmful activities. This law, contained in Clause 18 of the Anambra State Homeland Security Law, 2025, aims to protect the public from fr@udulent practices while promoting lawful means of livelihood.

What Does the Law Say?

1. Using Ch@rms or Sup€rnatural Powers for Crime or Wealth
If anyone uses practices like “Okeite” or “Eze Nwanyi,” administers charms, or promotes the accumulation of wealth through sup€rnatural means rather than legitimate work, they could face six years in pris0n, a ₦20 million fine, or both.

2. Sacrifi.ces and Ch@rms in Public Spaces
Leaving ch@rms or sacrif.icial items on roads or dumping them in rivers and other public spaces is now ille.gal. 0ffenders face the same p€nalty: six years in pris0n, a ₦20 million fine, or both.

3. False Claims of Supern@tural P0wers
Anyone pretending to have supern@tural p0wers to dec€ive or defr@ud others will also face pr0secution. Such 0ffenders could face impris0nment, hefty fines, or both if c0nvicted.

4. Proving Sup€rnatural Claims
Individuals süspected of m!sleading others with false claims of supern@tural abilities will be required to prove their powers during investigations.

5. Attorney General’s Review
Before any pr0secution takes place, the police must send their findings to the Attorney General of Anambra State for review and legal advice.

Why This Law?

The state government says the law is about safeguarding the community from d@ngerous practices that ha.rm public safety and morals. By clamping down on such activities, the government hopes to create a safer, more responsible society where wealth and success come from honest, legal efforts—not fraudulent or h@rmful r!.tuals.

A Word of Caution

Anambra residents are advised to be aware of this new law and avoid activities that could bring them into conflict with the authorities. Remember, ign0rance of the law is not an excuse.

This is a strong step toward protecting lives and promoting ethical behaviour in Anambra State. Stay informed and ensure your actions align with the law!

Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, has claimed that the political ambitions of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s have crumbled.

Onanuga believes Atiku’s proposed coalition is falling apart due to the defection of key allies to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a post on X, Onanuga criticized the coalition efforts being led by Atiku, which includes a former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, ex-SGF Babachir Lawal, and Labour Party’s vice presidential candidate, Yusuf Baba-Ahmed.

“Atiku’s political future looks bleak. The coalition that he, El Rufai, Babachir, and new member Baba-Ahmed are cobbling together has disintegrated.

“Potential allies, including former running mate Ifeanyi Okowa and defunct CPC members, are giving his leprous group a wide berth. Atiku is a loser again,” Onanuga stated.

Onanuga’s comments followed a similar post by fellow presidential aide Tunde Rahman, who noted that PDP’s internal crisis had deepened with the defection of former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and incumbent Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to the APC.

Rahman described the development as “the biggest shocker ever” for Atiku, whose 2023 presidential bid fell short.

Nollywood veteran and political commentator, Kenneth Okonkwo, has expressed strong disapproval of the recent wave of defections from opposition parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), declaring that those making the move will come to regret it within a year.

Okonkwo’s remarks come in the wake of the high-profile defection of Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, his deputy Monday Onyeme, and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, along with several commissioners and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stakeholders, who all officially joined the APC on Wednesday.

Reacting via a post on X, the actor-turned-politician did not hold back, accusing the defectors of abandoning their parties for selfish reasons—chiefly to evade anti-corruption scrutiny and secure personal benefits rather than serve the Nigerian people.

According to him, the ruling party’s alleged incompetence and corrupt practices will worsen economic conditions, increase hunger and suffering, and ultimately lead to widespread discontent among citizens.

“Mark my words,” Okonkwo wrote, “Before one year from now, these spineless, shameless, and corrupt members of the opposition parties who are running into the APC now to escape EFCC and for stomach infrastructure at the expense of the Nigerian economy and Nigerian people will regret their actions.”

He further asserted that the ruling APC’s misgovernance would be so glaring that the 2027 general election would no longer be a typical party contest but a showdown between the Nigerian people and the APC government.
