Recall that the feud between Ebuka Obi, the founder of Zion Ministry, and blogger Chizorom Harrison Ofoegbu, popularly known as “Ijele Speaks,” began when Ijele Speaks accused Ebuka Obi of performing fake miracles.

This accusation led to a series of events that ultimately resulted in Ijele Speaks’ arrest and detention.

Ebuka Obi filed a petition against Ijele Speaks, accusing him of cyberstalking, threat to life, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace. Officer Peter Ejike, who was later dismissed for fraud, colluded with Ebuka Obi to prosecute Ijele Speaks.

During his detention, Ijele Speaks’ health deteriorated significantly, and he was allegedly poisoned, leading to kidney failure and cardiac arrests. His lawyer, Prince Okechukwu Emezu, wrote to the Inspector General of Police, highlighting the unlawful detention and seeking intervention to prevent a potential tragedy.

The situation drew widespread criticism, with many calling for Ijele Speaks’ release and condemning the actions of Officer Ejike and Ebuka Obi.

The Nigerian Police Force have eventually dismissed Officer Ejike for fraud, and it is unclear what further actions will be taken in the case. Stay tuned for further updates, Please follow ekwutosblog on Instagram.

PRESS RELEASE

TERRORISM: POLICE STRIKES MAJOR BLOW TO TERRORISM, NEUTRALIZES ESN TERRORIST KINGPINS, DESTROYS DEADLY CAMPS IN IMO.

As Operatives Recover Dangerous Weapons, Other Assets.

As part of the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force to emplace peace and public safety across the country, police operatives attached to the Imo State Police Command have achieved a significant milestone in the ongoing battle against terrorism with the neutralization of three deadly terrorist kingpins associated with the Eastern Security Network (ESN).

On January 24, 2025, operatives from the Command’s tactical Unit following credible intelligence launched a coordinated operation aimed at locating and dislodging the terrorist hideouts. The police operatives located the terrorists’ hideout in a forest within Ihube, Okigwe LGA. Upon approach, the operatives came under heavy fire from suspected IPOB/ESN terrorists but demonstrated exceptional courage and engaged the attackers in a fierce gun battle.

The operation resulted in the neutralization of 6 members of the terrorist group, with 3 being ESN kingpins identified as Ifeanyi Anayo a.k.a. Zuma De Rock (28), Chukwuemeka Odionyenfe a.k.a. Nmimi (22), and Kingsley Sunday (21)—all natives of Ogube, Ihube in Okigwe Local Government Area, and the recovery of five AK-47 rifles, 552 rounds of live ammunition, Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), several communication equipment, along with 8 operational motorcycles used by the group. Prior investigations had revealed the involvement of the group in several high-profile crimes, including the attack on the Owerri Correctional Center on April 5, 2021, the killing of five policemen in Umunna, Okigwe, on December 12, 2022, and the burning of Arondizuogu Police Station on February 8, 2022. The group was also involved in multiple kidnappings, including those of WAEC staff on June 5, 2023, four reverend sisters on August 21, 2022, and four Chinese nationals on December 6, 2023.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM., has commended the gallant operatives for their exceptional display of bravery and coordination. The IGP charges police operatives across commands and formations to sustain the tempo and implement the Force’s action plan aimed at reducing crimes drastically in the first quarter of the year 2025. The Nigeria Police Force remains unyielding in its goal towards ensuring national security and public safety.
