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.

Tinubu ‘planted his men everywhere’ for 2027 – APC chieftain Joe Igbokwe

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu has strategically positioned key allies across various sectors to secure his re-election in 2027.

In a post on his official Facebook page on Monday, March 17, Igbokwe asserted that Tinubu began planning for a second term even before assuming office.

He expressed confidence that opposition candidates would struggle to defeat the president.

“The truth is that those who want to challenge PBAT in 2027 are not as smart as he is,” Igbokwe wrote.

“Before he even stepped into Aso Villa, he had started planning for 2027. His challengers may not know that the Apamaku (master strategist) had already planted his men everywhere.”

His statement comes amid allegations from opposition figures that Tinubu is deliberately causing internal crises within rival political parties to weaken any challenge to his rule.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused the ruling APC of orchestrating leadership struggles within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP).

According to Atiku, these alleged interferences are part of a broader strategy to suppress political opposition ahead of the next general elections.

While the presidency has not officially responded to these claims, political analysts say the growing tensions suggest an intense battle ahead for Nigeria’s 2027 elections.

As the Anambra State gubernatorial election approaches, concerns have emerged within the Labour Party (LP) over allegations that one of its aspirants may have undisclosed ties to the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

A senior Labour Party figure, who requested anonymity, expressed worry that an external force might be backing the aspirant with the intent of weakening LP’s prospects in the November 8 election.

The chieftain alleged that APGA is reportedly facilitating the aspirant’s political engagements, particularly his local government tour.

“There is strong suspicion that APGA is behind his moves. The aim may be to ensure he secures the LP ticket but later runs a weak campaign, ultimately favouring the ruling party,” the source claimed.
