ENUGU RITUAL WONDER: I Still Can't Believe It - Uche Kingsley (Uche Agumba), You Too?

Following the Enugu State ritual wonder that was unveiled few days ago by security operatives coupled with government swift intervention with an executive order to demolish the country home and shrine of the branded ritualists and serial killer of innocent souls, you’ll be shocked at this piece scripted by a close friend of the culprit who is still in shock of the secret dealings of the culprit, even as they have known eachother as co church goers and innocent citizens. Read Below:

Sometimes, life hits you with news that leaves you completely speechless.

A few days ago, I came across a video that shook me to the core. It was about one of the accomplices of that Enugu native doctor who was recently arrested for ritual killings. To my shock, the name mentioned was Uche Kingsley, popularly known as Agumba—a name I’ve known for years.

At first, I wasn’t sure it was the same Uche I knew. The name, the nickname, the location—it all sounded too familiar. But I brushed it off. I told myself it must be someone else. After all, the Uche I knew was a deeply religious man, someone who never missed church programs and was even known to travel from Aba to Enugu for special Catholic events.

He was one of those people who would question your faith if you missed church. He often challenged me for not being as “serious” with religion as he was.

But when I watched the video again and heard that the man dealt in furniture materials at Ariaria, Aba—it hit me. I knew this Uche. This was the same guy I once shared memories with. Out of curiosity and concern, I searched for him online. And when I saw his pictures, my heart dropped. It was truly him—Uche Agumba.

We go way back. Uche served a man from Uga Anambra state (whose name I’ll leave out here), and I remember when he got settled around 2011 or 2012 after serving for seven years. We were all young men trying to make it. I recall one particular day we returned from Port Harcourt, and he said to me, “Before I get married, I must be a very wealthy man.” I reminded him that he was the only son of his parents. He nodded and said, “I know—but this is what I must do.”

Everyone who was in the building materials line at Ariaria back then knew Uche. From 2005 to 2011 to 2013, and now. we trained together at Osusu Primary School field before I moved out of Aba. I can’t remember him ever missing church. He was deeply involved in religious activities—chartering buses to Enugu weekly, buying and selling bottles of anointed water and yoghurt after the programs. I checked his Facebook recently—he still shares posts from those same church programs.

I wasn't born into a rich family—I was born into struggles. Growing up in Libreville, with roots deep in Anambra State, life wasn’t gentle with me.

We were eight children, fighting hunger and chasing dreams without any comfort. But inside me, a voice whispered, poverty ends right here with me. Acting became my way out, my quiet escape from pain and hardships.

Life didn’t hand me opportunities; I had to fight and create my own path. When people said I couldn't make it, I pushed harder. Step by step, I built a name, created wealth, and formed an empire.

Today, I travel everywhere, inspire others, and run businesses because my past didn’t define me—it shaped me. I didn’t start from wealth, but my journey is proof that your start doesn’t decide your finish. Riches didn't come from my family, but believe me, a wealthy family will come from me.

— Jim Iyke

Wike Accuses Makinde of Betrayal Amid PDP Crisis

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has accused Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde of betrayal and stoking internal conflict within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement on Sunday, Wike blamed the crisis on “dishonesty and lack of trust” among party leaders. He said a G5 meeting in Lagos was held to address these issues.

“I made it clear to the governor of Oyo State, HE Seyi Makinde, that he was the architect of our problems, pointing out to him that non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the party and that he was the chief culprit of this anomaly.”

Wike said they agreed to move forward, but Makinde later undermined the process.

At a broader stakeholders’ meeting, Wike accused Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed of also v+olating agreements.

“At the end of the meeting, we came to some resolutions, including (a) That Senator Samuel Anyanwu remains the national secretary of the PDP in tandem with the Supreme Court judgement… and (d) Nobody should deviate from the agreements so reached.”

He said a reconciliation committee led by Bukola Saraki was formed, but Makinde and Enugu Governor Peter Mbah later pushed for Ude Okoye as secretary.

“Again, Seyi Makinde organised some people in the national secretariat to insist that the deputy national secretary should act as national secretary, in v+olating of the agreement earlier reached… a letter was written by the deputy national secretary, calling for a meeting of the NEC of the party.”

Wike also claimed a valid letter confirming PDP’s Anambra candidate was discredited.

“The letter… was portrayed as rejected by the party through a rebuttal letter signed by the national publicity secretary, acting on the orders of Seyi Makinde and Peter Mbah.”

He said INEC refused to attend the May 24 congress.

“INEC refused to attend because the proper signatory recognised by law, that is, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, was not a signatory to the invitation notice.”

Calling the actions “provocative and annoying,” Wike vowed:
“I will f+ght until justice is served.”
