ARMED HERDSMEN ATTACK IMO STATE COMMUNITIES, KILL SEVERAL RESIDENTS, INJURE PREGNANT WOMAN

The attack has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for urgent action to protect the lives of innocent citizens.
Suspected armed herdsmen have launched an attack on Agwa and neighboring communities in the Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State, resulting in several deaths and numerous injuries.

Among the victims is a pregnant woman, Joy Osita Achugwo, who was shot by the herdsmen and is currently battling for survival in a hospital, SaharaReporters has learnt.

The attack has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for urgent action to protect the lives of innocent citizens.

The Chairman of Oguta LGA, Ifeanyi Nnani, who visited the survivors on Tuesday, reportedly condemned the barbaric attacks in the strongest possible terms.

The gruesome killings of innocent people who were attacked in their own homes and farms is a clear indication of the insecurity in our state," Nnani said.

Nnani commiserated with the victims and their families, assuring them that the leadership of the Local Government Area is committed to ensuring that peace and tranquility returns to Agwa Clan.

"We will do everything possible to ensure that those responsible for these attacks are brought to justice," he said.

SaharaReporters reports that the attack comes less 48hrs after a similar incident in Enugu State, where suspected Fulani herdsmen killed four local farmers in Mgbuji Eha-Amufu autonomous in a brutal attack.


The incident has raised concerns about the growing insecurity in the country and the need for urgent action to protect the lives of citizens.

Meanwhile, the Federal Commissioner representing Imo State in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Kyrian Uchegbu, has advised the locals to form strong vigilante groups to protect their communities.


We need to work together to ensure that our communities are safe and secure," Uchegbu said.

The attack has left many in shock and outrage, with many calling for urgent action to protect the lives of innocent citizens.

"This is a clear case of terrorism," said one resident, who wished to remain anonymous. "We need the government to take action to protect us from these attacks."

The Imo State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement regarding the recent attack on Agwa community in Oguta Local Government Area.

Efforts to reach the Command's spokesperson, DSP Henry Okoye, for comment were unsuccessful, as he did not respond to calls or a text message

UNDERSTANDING ENDOMETRIOSIS

One of my patients complained of this terrible period pain. When I asked if she’s seen a doctor, she said it’ll go away once she gives birth.

I’m sure some of you have been told the same myth—that pregnancy cures endometriosis.

But is that really true?
What exactly is endometriosis?

Come with me



WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS?

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the endometrial lining grows outside of the uterus.

This tissue still behaves like the normal lining, it thickens, breaks down and bleeds every month.

However, there’s no exit route. The blood gets trapped inside the body and it causes pain.


WHERE ARE THESE TISSUES SEEN?

These abnormal growths can be seen on the:
- Ovaries
- Fallopian tubes
- Outer uterus surface
- Bladder, intestine and rectum
- Pelvic wall

In rare case, it can be seen on the lungs, diaphragm or even the brain.


WHAT SYMPTOMS DO WOMEN EXPERIENCE?

- Painful and heavy menstrual periods
- Spotting in between periods
- Pelvic or lower back pain
- Pain during or after sex
- Pain with bowel movement or urination
- Infertility issues
- Bloating, diarrhea or constipation.

The tricky part is endometriosis doesn’t show up on scans, and so women go for years without diagnosis.


COMPLICATIONS

Endometriosis can lead to:
- Infertility
- Ovarian cysts
- Chronic pain
- Bowel or bladder obstruction
- Scar tissues that stick together
- Mental health issues like anxiety, depression, low self esteem and social withdrawal



CAN IT BE TREATED?
According to hospitals,
There is no cure for endometriosis, but it can be managed using medications, hormone therapy and surgery in severe cases.

For women that find it difficult to have a baby, IVF may be carried out.


WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU SUSPECT ENDOMETRIOSES?

- Get an accurate diagnosis from a gynecologist
- Explore treatment options depending on pain severity and if you want to get pregnant
- Consider joining support groups or therapy to deal with the emotional side of it
- Modify your lifestyle
- See a fertility specialist if you’re trying to conceive
- Be patient with your self.-

LIFESTYLE AND SELF CARE TIPS

- Reduce the intake of processed foods
- Increase intake of foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fruits and vegetables
- Engage in regular exercise
- Use heap pads to relieve the cramps and tension
- Engage in pelvic floor exercises
- Practice being mindful and present.


WHAT DOES ENDOMETRIOSES FEEL LIKE?
It feels like:
- Sharp, deep and consistent pain (Like your womb is being twisted with a knife)

- Heavy irregular and messy periods (With severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea)

- Fatigue and exhaustion (Constant tiredness and feeling drained)

- Bloating, constipation or diarrhea.

If you experience these symptoms, please see a gynecologist.


FAQs
Can you get pregnant with endometriosis?

Yes you can, however it might be difficult.

Can it come back after treatment?

Yes. Symptoms may return especially if treatment is stopped.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition, it can only be managed.

Can pregnancy cure endometriosis?

Pregnancy may relieve symptoms temporarily, but it doesn’t cure it.


Endometriosis is not just “painful periods.”

It’s a life-disrupting condition that deserves attention, and care.

If you or someone you know is struggling with unexplained pelvic pain, fatigue, or infertility, don’t ignore it.

Early diagnosis and intervention can change lives.


Have you experienced this before?what did you do about it?



WHAT CAUSES ENDOMETRIOSES?
The exact cause is not known, however several theories exist:

- Retrograde menstruation, where blood flows backward through the fallopian tube instead of exiting the body.

- Coelomic metaplasia, where cells outside the uterus transform into endometrial like tissue due to hormones or inflammation.

- Immune dysfunction, where the immune system fails to destroy displaced endometrial tissue.

- Genetics: It runs in families.

*COLOS, ON COLOS, COLORADO. A SYNTHETIC PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCE KILLING OUR YOUTHS* .

By: Hon Chief Ezechukwu N Obonna (ISSUP, ISAAC, WFAD)
Special Adviser On Narcotics And Illicit Drug Monitoring (IMSG)

June 09, 2025.

Colorado, which is popularly called *COLOS* in Nigerian street life, is a synthetic drug designed to mimic the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in marijuana that triggers the highness. Colos is a strain of cannabis/marijuana, but unlike natural marijuana, which is derived from the cannabis plant, Colos is made by spraying synthetic chemicals onto dried plant material, such as shredded leaves or grass. These chemicals are engineered to bind to the same brain receptors as THC but often with far more potency and unpredictability.

The specific chemical ingredients in Colos often vary between batches and are typically unregulated and untested for safety, making the drug highly dangerous. Some variants have been linked to serious health issues, including hallucinations, seizures, and, in rare cases, organ damage or failure.

Someone is being said to be "On Colos" when the person is under the influence of Colos.

_The instant side effects of smoking Colorado_ :

Immediately upon smoking Colos, the user may experience a range of immediate physical and mental effects. These can vary depending on the specific chemicals used in producing the Colos, the dose, and the individual's health status.

*Physical Effects Of Colos*

_Respiratory Problems And Shortness of Breath_ :

Smoking Colos can irritate the lungs, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Prolonged use may increase the risk of developing chronic respiratory conditions.

_Dizziness and elevated heart rate_ :

Many smokers report a rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and nausea shortly after consumption. These symptoms can be particularly dangerous for individuals with underlying heart conditions.

_Dry mouth, red eyes, and appetite changes_ :

Similar to natural marijuana, Colos may cause dry mouth and red eyes. Users might also experience changes in appetite, either increased or decreased.

*Mental Effects*

_Altered Perception And Euphoria_ :

The synthetic chemicals in Colos can induce feelings of euphoria or highness and altered sensory perception. However, these effects are often accompanied by negative reactions.

_Hallucinations, Anxiety and Paranoia_ :

Many users experience heightened anxiety, paranoia, and even hallucinations. These effects can be intense and distressing, leading to dangerous behaviors.

*HOW TO QUIT SMOKING COLOS*

Recognising the need to quit is the first step toward recovery. Individuals struggling with Colos addiction should endeavor to seek help.

*Treatment Options* :

_Counseling and therapy_ :

Behavioral therapies can help individuals understand the root causes of their addiction and develop coping strategies.

_Support Groups_ :

Connecting with others facing similar challenges can provide encouragement and accountability. Support groups like Marijuana/Colos Anonymous will help a lot.

_Medical assistance_ :

Medications may be prescribed for detoxification, manage withdrawal symptoms, and reduce cravings.

Building a strong support system of family, friends, and healthcare professionals is essential in the recovery process.

*ADDICTION PREVENTION*

Raising awareness about the dangers of Colos is crucial in preventing its spread. Educational programs in schools, communities, and media outlets can inform the public about the risks associated with synthetic drugs.

Six Organizations Donate Over $16,500 to Support Burkina Faso’s Defense Efforts

On June 5, 2025, six organizations collectively donated 10,050,000 FCFA (approximately $16,560 USD) to Burkina Faso’s Patriotic Support Fund, aimed at aiding national defense and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland.

The breakdown of contributions included:

Zemstaba Association for Local Development: 1,000,000 FCFA

Jeunesse Engagée pour le Faso: 250,000 FCFA

Burkinabè Association of Midwives and Maïeuticiens: 500,000 FCFA

International Chamber of Real Estate Experts of Burkina: 3,000,000 FCFA

International Assistance "Mother and Child": 300,000 FCFA

Order of Civil Engineers: 5,000,000 FCFA

The funds were formally received by Vieux Abdoul Rachid Soulama, Secretary General at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, with senior government officials in attendance.

All participating groups reiterated their support for President Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s national call and encouraged fellow citizens and institutions to contribute towards strengthening the nation’s security forces and patriotic volunteers.

Burkina Faso faces a growing threat as ISIS- and al-Qaeda-linked terrorist groups expand across the Sahel. Their increasing activity destabilizes the region and risks opening smuggling routes along West Africa’s coast, heightening security challenges for both the country and the wider continent.
