Unknown persons kill 3 siblings, dump bodies in freezer as Anambra police vow justice

The Anambra Police Command has vowed to fish out the suspected killer(s) of three siblings in Nnewichi, Nnewi North Local Government Area of the state.
The new Commissioner of Police (CP) in the state, Mr Ikioye Orutugu, made the vow when he paid a condolence visit to the bereaved family and also assessed the crime scene on the spot.
It is recalled that an unidentified person(s) sneaked into the residence of Mr Ejezie Udochukwu and murdered his three children and dumped their remains inside a deep freezer.
The deceased were Chikaima, first daughter, nine, Chimziterem, second daughter, eight, and Chimdirim, second son, five.

The CP said:
We are here today for an on-the-spot assessment of the unfortunate incident of the murder of three siblings and kept in the fridge here in Nnewi.
I am also here to console the family and relatives of the victims and affirm the commitment of the Police over this unwholesome crime, unlike other similar incidents recorded in the state, bordering on kidnapping and sudden disappearance of persons.
We shall unravel the circumstances surrounding such and ensure that the suspects are caught and justice served.
Orutugu assured the people that he was in the state to reclaim the public space from criminals and maintain law and order, in keeping with the vision to stabilise the security architecture in the state.

I intend to address the attitude of the people on ideology, based on crime bordering on the attack on unsuspecting members of the public, security personnel, abduction of persons and destruction of government infrastructure and other offences.
Undoubtedly, the command has been bold in confronting these challenges and indeed recorded several successes lately in curbing some of these crimes.
I have been briefed on how Anambra people and the State Government, through the launch of Operation Udo Ga Chi (Operation Peace Must Prevail), have risen to collectively and joined voices in condemning acts that threaten our national peace and resolved to work together and discuss those issues that tear us apart, not minding our differences, he said.
He said that the command would take every professional step in crime prevention, through strategic deployment of intelligence assets and robust synergy with sister-security agencies, organised vigilance groups and other stakeholders, to deal with the security challenges in the state.
Anambra is blessed with vibrant, energetic and enterprising people, full of great potential.
This potential can only be fully realised in a peaceful, secure environment, the police boss added.
He urged journalists in the state to report security matters professionally and objectively, toward helping the security agencies tackle crime.
He urged the people to remain law-abiding and continue to partner and support the police and other security agencies in combating all forms of criminality as well as ensuring public security and safety in the state.
Orutugu advised those “who have been misled to take to crime” to retrace their steps, saying that the command was poised to deal squarely with all acts of criminality without regard for status.
A stitch in time, they say, saves nine, he stated.

DSS, NIA probe on Natasha's IPU attendance could backfire – Falana warns

Renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has criticised the Department of State Services (DSS) and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) for investigating Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s participation in the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in New York.
Falana warned that the probe could backfire and embarrass senior officials in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“The official probe of the circumstances of her trip by security forces will expose Nigeria to needless embarrassment and undeserved ridicule,” he stated on Sunday.
Reports indicate that the security agencies launched the inquiry after Akpoti-Uduaghan, who was recently suspended from the Senate, attended the IPU meeting without an official nomination.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio accused her of embarrassing the government by disclosing her suspension at the event.
However, Akpoti-Uduaghan insists the suspension was in retaliation for her allegations of sexual harassment against Akpabio.
Falana, condemning the investigation, likened it to repressive tactics used during the military regime of General Sani Abacha.
“In fact, the probe will particularly embarrass some top officials of the Bola Tinubu administration who were once accused of traveling abroad to criticise the military junta,” he added.
The senior lawyer advised the DSS and NIA to reconsider their priorities and focus on pressing national security concerns rather than politically motivated investigations.

DSS, NIA launch investigation into Natasha’s attendance at IPU meeting

The Federal Government has launched an investigation into the attendance of suspended Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan at the recent Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting in New York, an event she claims has now put her at risk of arrest upon her return to Nigeria.
According to Premium Times, government sources revealed that Akpoti-Uduaghan attended the event without undergoing the required nomination process.
The Department of State Services (DSS) and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) are reportedly leading the probe to determine how she gained access to the meeting and whether any individuals or organizations facilitated her participation.
Calls for an investigation intensified after Akpoti-Uduaghan’s speech at the IPU on March 11, where she alleged that she was being persecuted in Nigeria for rejecting sexual advances from Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

She also acknowledged that, following her suspension, her participation in the meeting was unauthorized.
Speaking with Premium Times on Sunday, Akpoti-Uduaghan claimed she had received indications that she might be arrested upon her return to Abuja.
“… I’m aware there are plans underway to have me arrested as soon as I arrive Abuja,” she said.
She further alleged that Nigerian officials attempted to remove her from the United Nations premises following her speech.
“The Senate President Akpabio sent three staff headed by the Chargé D’Affaires of the Nigerian embassy in New York to evacuate me from the United Nations premises right after my speech. I was rescued by parliamentarians from other countries and the security.”
Government sources stated that the investigation would focus on verifying whether she obtained the necessary credentials, whether external parties assisted her, and whether her statements misrepresented Nigeria’s interests.
Addressing how she was able to attend the IPU meeting despite not being an official delegate, Akpoti-Uduaghan explained:

“I registered online as a senator. The suspension does not remove my legitimacy as a senator. I registered online and got a pass.”
“I attended the same programme last year and was already on the mailing list. After I got a pass, I bought my own ticket and funded my trip and participation at the event.”
