Their commitment to addressing these challenges and offering counsel to regional governors reflects true leadership and a deep concern for the well-being of their communities,” Obi said.

He further opined that the leaders’ call is a push for all stakeholders and citizens alike to unite, irrespective of political, religious, or ethnic affiliation, for the purpose addressing the challenges bedevilling the nation.

Only 200 Youths Registered For Army Recruitment From Entire South-East – Brig. Gen. Ekeator Cries Out

Brigadier-General Chima Ekeator, who leads the Army Force Headquarters Recruitment Sensitisation Team in Anambra, has raised concern over the low turnout of South-East youths for the ongoing Nigerian Army recruitment.

Speaking at a sensitisation event for youth leaders and community president-generals, he revealed that while other regions have over 4,000 applicants, only 200 people from the entire South-East have registered so far.

He called on community leaders to go back and mobilize their youths, saying that full participation is necessary to ensure the South-East gets its fair share in the army.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo, represented by the Commissioner for Youth Development, Patrick Aghamba, assured that the state government is committed to encouraging youth involvement. He urged every community to produce at least 10 youths willing to join the military.

Also speaking, the Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Community Affairs, Tony-Collins Nwabunwanne, reminded young people aged 18 to 22 that this is a great opportunity to serve their country.

Mother of Four Shot Dead by Anambra Security Operatives in Nnewi, Family Demands Justice.

A tragic incident occurred in Nnewi, Anambra State, as Chiamaka Okeke, a mother of four and Chemistry teacher at Anglican Girls’ Secondary School, Uruagu, was shot and killed by operatives of the Agunechemba security outfit.

The shooting took place at Ibeto Junction while Okeke was reportedly returning home from the hospital. Witnesses allege that the operatives, part of a local security network established under the administration of Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo, opened fire without clear provocation.

The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the incident, revealing that the vigilante operative who pulled the trigger has been identified and arrested.

Meanwhile, the victim’s family is demanding justice and calling for accountability from the state government over what they describe as an unjust and avoidable killing.

BREAKING NEWS:
At least 25 people have been killed and scores injured in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area (LGA), Enugu State, as insurgents, reportedly herdsmen, intensify attacks on agrarian communities.

Families are fleeing to Anambra and Kogi for safety, while others remain vigilant, fearing further violence in the region known as Enugu’s food basket.

Godwin Ezugwu, a member of the local vigilante group, recounted the terror, criticising the delayed security response. “The incident became horrifying as the new Enugu Police Commissioner, Mamman Bitrus Giwa, last week denied publicly that there was any sign of insecurity problems,” he said.

Ezugwu highlighted recent atrocities, including the machete killing of vigilante Chijioke Anioke at Ekenwaozege junction, the murder of Nwa Black in Opanda, Adani, and the kidnapping of ENTRACO driver Patty Ozor, with one passenger shot dead.

Community leaders, in an SOS to Governor Peter Mbah, expressed frustration over the inaction of Uzo-Uwani LGA Chairman Chijioke Ezugwu, a former vigilante leader now summoned for questioning. They reported frequent farmer abductions and killings over the past two months. Opinion leaders, citing DSS Director General Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi, urged communities to arm themselves for self-defense, warning, “Fulanis have declared war on Nigerians, especially Southern Nigeria.”
