Speaker 1: Namra is no doubt one of the states in Nigeria
Speaker 1: experiencing incessant and very high rates of kidnapping that in
Speaker 1: some cases do lead to the death of the abducted
Speaker 1: victims and killing of security operatives and some other persons
Speaker 1: around the scene of the mostly monetary crimes of hostage
Speaker 1: taking for a ransom. Specifically, our crime reporters gathered that
Speaker 1: there is hardly no week without one or two persons
Speaker 1: being kidnapped along the Innichhare, a wary federal road in
Speaker 1: a Nambra state, especially between Over community and Ihiala town.
Speaker 1: As we gathered that most victims of kidnapping in the
Speaker 1: state are hard working small and medium sized business owners
Speaker 1: who most of whom struggled out of poverty to become
Speaker 1: wealthy successful traders. This we learnt there may be no
Speaker 1: wealthy successful business owner along the Ihiala or who road
Speaker 1: left to be kidnapped or forced to pay ransom to
Speaker 1: the kidnappers, while in ober, wealthy people are being kidnapped
Speaker 1: quietly and ransom in millions are paid in silence to
Speaker 1: the kids. According to members of the community, a young
Speaker 1: successful businessman was kidnapped recently at a location between the
Speaker 1: ober New Road and Old Road junctions shortly after he
Speaker 1: visited his building construction site. While we also learned that
Speaker 1: some people in the state to report or contract their
Speaker 1: friends to kidnappers just to get a share from the
Speaker 1: ransom that will be paid afterwards or when such people
Speaker 1: have issue or dispute with their friends or co traders.
Speaker 1: It may interest you to know that the Enambra State
Speaker 1: Police Command recently arrested a twenty four year old male
Speaker 1: suspect Muanaye Victor for allegedly luring his friend to be
Speaker 1: kidnapped by his criminal gang Innuli Ihiala Local government area
Speaker 1: of the state, and they reportedly collected a ransom in
Speaker 1: dollars equivalent to five point three million narers with his
Speaker 1: gang members, just as government in a not too long
Speaker 1: distance time abducted a lawyer and two other persons in
Speaker 1: in polgu Aguata Local Government area of Anambra, in addition
Speaker 1: to the previous cases of kidnapping of the owner of
Speaker 1: De Porsche Club, Chief Phoebea Worg by unknown gunmen after
Speaker 1: the gunmen killed numbers of persons along the New Ober
Speaker 1: Newi Road in Idomili South Local Government area of a
Speaker 1: Nambra State, with the number of those killed at the
Speaker 1: Porsche Nightclub said to be seven, but one of the
Speaker 1: security operatives was beheaded and another had his foot cut
Speaker 1: off and made away by the invading deadly kidnappers. This
Speaker 1: occurred shortly after a well known native doctor or which
Speaker 1: doctor Chidos in nawangu Aka, Aqua Okako Tiuaaki was kidnapped
Speaker 1: after his two personal aids killed in the vicinity of
Speaker 1: his hotel at ober community before the kidnappers effortlessly took
Speaker 1: him away and was released after ransom in millions were
Speaker 1: reportedly paid. That not all. On May twenty first, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, shortly after Professor Chikuma Saludo was sworn in
Speaker 1: as governor, Gunman abducted the lawmaker representing Aguata to constituency
Speaker 1: in the State House of Assembly, hok Chukua Koye. A
Speaker 1: Koye also known as Hoki Dioke represented Soludo's state constituency Isoophia.
Speaker 1: A Koye was killed and beheaded alongside his aid, Cyril
Speaker 1: chi Egboka, six days after they were abducted along Aguilazigbo Road,
Speaker 1: Anaroka local government area of the state, and their heads
Speaker 1: and bodies dumped along a roadside in the state, and
Speaker 1: in December twenty twenty four, another lawmaker in the State
Speaker 1: House of Assembly was kidnapped and killed and the victim,
Speaker 1: the lifeless body of the member representing Anicher North one
Speaker 1: constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, Justice Azuka,
Speaker 1: was found along the Second Niger Bridge, with Azuka's lifeless body,
Speaker 1: said to be already decomposing, was found by a joint
Speaker 1: team of security operatives forty four days after he was
Speaker 1: kidnapped on December twenty fourth, twenty twenty four along the
Speaker 1: Ugunerabaka Road in Inland Town, Anischa while returning home for
Speaker 1: Chris and The most prominent among the incessant cases of
Speaker 1: kidnapping in the state is Martin's on Yekse, well known
Speaker 1: as Phish Magnet. The kidnapping and subsequent killing of the
Speaker 1: young small business owner sparked protest and public awareness like
Speaker 1: never before, with a social right activist, martinsoz Ka Veridartmann
Speaker 1: coming to the state earlier on Sunday and led a
Speaker 1: protest walk on Tuesday, which was tagged Candlelight Procession March
Speaker 1: in honour of Phish Magnet. One of the most recent
Speaker 1: victims of the unabated deadly monetary kidnapping business, apparently thriving
Speaker 1: in an Ambra like some other states in Nigeria, with
Speaker 1: Veridartmund saying during the protest that it may be right
Speaker 1: to say that kidnappers killed Phish Magnet, but the actual
Speaker 1: killers are the administrative failures of Professor Charles Chukuman Soludo,
Speaker 1: the state governor, Senator Bolah Ahmed Tenubu, the President of Nigeria,
Speaker 1: General Christopher Musa, the Nigeria Chief of Defense Staff, Kyode Eggbetoken,
Speaker 1: the u Inspector General of Police and the local government
Speaker 1: area chairman or mayor, and accused him of incompetence in
Speaker 1: managing security matters in the state and the country at large,
Speaker 1: while the Enambra State Police Command spokesperson Tochukua Kenger, who
Speaker 1: also joined the campaign, said the campaign walk was not
Speaker 1: only about Phish Magnet, but a bold statement collectively made
Speaker 1: by an Ambra youths in solidarity and in support of
Speaker 1: the efforts of the security agencies in the state against
Speaker 1: killings and other crimes. After the protest, Veri Dagmann stated
Speaker 1: in a post that I'm glad I found this online
Speaker 1: and like I clearly said, Phish Magnet was killed by
Speaker 1: Chukuma Charles Soludo, he was killed by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu.
Speaker 1: Ellipsis Dot, rest in peace, my name's sake, Martin's on
Speaker 1: ye Kca Fessenachi Deer at Phish Magnet, you send me
Speaker 1: a DM and I didn't see it. Even if I
Speaker 1: had seen it, I wouldn't have responded because I have
Speaker 1: other priorities and a lot of issues going on, and
Speaker 1: I always think people give me things to have me
Speaker 1: advertise for them, so I don't accept gift. When I
Speaker 1: saw your post on tunde ed nut page, I actually
Speaker 1: commented something funny to let you know I saw it.
Speaker 1: You were gone now and I sincerely wish I had
Speaker 1: collected the fish from you. Ellipsis dot dot. I will
Speaker 1: like to also beg Nigerians to support his business to
Speaker 1: his legacy continues. It should not be a case where
Speaker 1: because he is no more and then people will stop
Speaker 1: the patronage. The office and business is still operating. Follow
Speaker 1: at Fish Magnet they deliver nationwide. Lolai finally did the
Speaker 1: advert for you and you won't even see it. Rest
Speaker 1: on King my namesake Tochukua Kenga, the Nambra State Police
Speaker 1: Command spokesperson, in a post also said it was a
Speaker 1: walk for peace, a stand against violent crime. The youths
Speaker 1: of Anambra came out in their numbers in a symbolic
Speaker 1: walk for peace, a collective stance against violent crime. It
Speaker 1: was not just a march for phish magnet. It was
Speaker 1: a show of solidarity with the Nigeria Police and other
Speaker 1: security agencies. A bold statement to condemn all forms of criminality. Together,
Speaker 1: they echoed a clear message. Enough is enough. Criminals can
Speaker 1: no longer be allowed to terrorize an Amra's state in
Speaker 1: the Southeast region. The time has come for unity, vigilance
Speaker 1: and community driven action for a safer Anambra. An Ambras
Speaker 1: State Association of Town Union HASATU Youth President Comrade Kennicoli,
Speaker 1: as well as an Ambra State Commissioner for Youth Development,
Speaker 1: Mister Patrick Akamber were also at the event, with almost
Speaker 1: all the protesters dressed in black and black matched from
Speaker 1: a Roma junction in the state capitol to the fish
Speaker 1: magnet factory in Orca. The protest did not take place
Speaker 1: without an earlier warning issued against forredarkmen by the police.
Speaker 1: The Nigeria Police Force had in a statement said the
Speaker 1: Commissioner of Police an Amera's State Command CP iqa Oratugu
Speaker 1: f WCMNIPSPHD has issued a stern warning two social media
Speaker 1: influencer mister Martin's Vincent Odds popularly known as Baridagmann, cautioning
Speaker 1: him against making statements or taking actions capable of inciting
Speaker 1: tension or breaching public peace within the state. The CP
Speaker 1: noted the decision of the family of the late mister
Speaker 1: Professenachi Homnukera, Managing director of Phish Magnet Outlet, to publicly
Speaker 1: dissociate themselves from any proposed or ongoing candlelight procession or
Speaker 1: memorial gathering being organized in his name. They therefore pleaded
Speaker 1: that they should allow the family to grieve privately while
Speaker 1: trusting the authorities to do their work. The CP emphasized
Speaker 1: that an Amra's state remains one of the most peaceful
Speaker 1: in the region due to the sustained efforts of the
Speaker 1: police and other security agencies in collaboration with critical stakeholders,
Speaker 1: stress that no individual, regardless of social status, would be
Speaker 1: allowed to disrupt the existing peace and security architecture of
Speaker 1: the state. CP or tougu urged residents and visitors alike
Speaker 1: to go about their lawful duties without fear, reaffirming the
Speaker 1: Command's commitment to maintaining law and order. He further advised
Speaker 1: social media uses and public figures to exercise restraint and
Speaker 1: avoid spreading misinformation or making inciting remarks. The Command further
Speaker 1: warns that anyone found undermining public peace, either online or offline,
Speaker 1: will face the full weight of the law. We have

Speaker 1: well known by his business name as Fish Magnet, who
Speaker 1: was reportedly shot on the leg while being kidnapped on Sunday,
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh of July twenty twent at his residence
Speaker 1: in Zini Fitte village of Puno Inorca, the Enambra State capital.
Speaker 1: This Dr George Mogalu, the Labour Party candidate in the
Speaker 1: forthcoming governorship election in the state, said that Anambra State
Speaker 1: is no longer safe, adding that people are being killed,
Speaker 1: sorted for their families to bury in silence, while the
Speaker 1: state governor, Professor Charles Chukuma Saludo luks the other way
Speaker 1: with no sympathy, condolence, visit or statement. Specifically, Mongolou said,
Speaker 1: I must speak frankly. An amber is no longer safe,
Speaker 1: not even in the state capital. Our people are being sorted,
Speaker 1: kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the
Speaker 1: other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently,
Speaker 1: we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at
Speaker 1: Dmichi no We South local government area. Yet there was
Speaker 1: no statement, no condolence, not even a visit from the
Speaker 1: state government. Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies.
Speaker 1: Where is our conscience? Mongolu stated, while the former lawyer
Speaker 1: to Namdikanu, the detained Biafra Agitation leader, Barrister afany G four,
Speaker 1: said the people of the state are currently romancing with crimes,
Speaker 1: hiding criminals and painting absurd narratives on social media to
Speaker 1: glorify and justify the rising crimes in the state, saying
Speaker 1: the most frightening part the reckless energy our own people
Speaker 1: expend defending these killers. When you shield murderers because they
Speaker 1: are your kinsmen, you embolden them. When you justify kidnappings

Speaker 1: vigilante operatives and the police. Preliminary investigations revealed that the
Speaker 1: assailants had trailed the victim before launching the violent attack,
Speaker 1: during which the deceased was shot in the leg and
Speaker 1: forcibly taken away. He was later found lifeless, sparking public
Speaker 1: outrage and deep concern among residents of Orca. CPE. While
Speaker 1: condemning the killing, assured that the criminal elements behind this
Speaker 1: cowardly act will be brought to book. He further stated
Speaker 1: that the policeo is to the family, the people of
Speaker 1: Nambra and the memory of the deceased to ensure that
Speaker 1: those responsible face the full weight of the law. Further
Speaker 1: developments would be communicated accordingly. S p tochokuakenga police public
Speaker 1: relations officer an Ambras State Police Command stated in a
Speaker 1: press release on Wednesday, Labor Party governorship candidate doctor George
Speaker 1: Mogloo said, my heart is heavy. I received with deep
Speaker 1: sorrow the devastating news of the brutal murder of mister
Speaker 1: Martin on Yea KC, the only son of missus esther
Speaker 1: On Yea k C, the enambrous state woman, leader of
Speaker 1: the All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA. Martin was a promising
Speaker 1: young man, an industrious fish farmer in his twenties whose
Speaker 1: life was cut short in a most cruel and senseless manner,
Speaker 1: Abducted from his family home in Alleka, shot in the leg,
Speaker 1: and later found dead despite ransom being paid. This is
Speaker 1: not just a family's tragedy. It is a painful reminder
Speaker 1: that our dear state is in crisis. My thoughts and
Speaker 1: prayers are with misses on ye Keesi and her entire
Speaker 1: family in this moment of unimaginable grief. No parent should
Speaker 1: ever have to bury a child, especially under such horrifying circumstances.
Speaker 1: I must speak frankly, Anambra is no longer safe, not
Speaker 1: even in the state capital. Our people are being slorted,
Speaker 1: kidnapped and buried in silence while the government looks the
Speaker 1: other way. This is not leadership, it is abandonment. Just recently,
Speaker 1: we lost over ten lives in a ghastly accident at
Speaker 1: Amchi Noi South Local government area. Yet there was no statement,
Speaker 1: no condolence, not even a visit from the state government.
Speaker 1: Instead we see street renamings and political endorsement rallies. Where
Speaker 1: is our conscience. This is not a political party. This
Speaker 1: is about human life. This is about the safety of
Speaker 1: our people, our mothers, our fathers, our children. As a
Speaker 1: father and a fellow Annambrarian, I feel this pain personally.
Speaker 1: As a leader, I cannot keep quiet. We must return
Speaker 1: empathy to governance. We must put humanity before politics. The
Speaker 1: enumer of our dreams cannot be built on propaganda, silence
Speaker 1: and indifference. It must be founded on compassion, courage and
Speaker 1: the result to act, especially when it matters most. May
Speaker 1: the soul of young Martin on ye k c find
Speaker 1: rest and may his death not be in vain. Doctor
Speaker 1: George Mogulu, Labour Party governorship candidate in a Nambra State,
Speaker 1: stated this on Friday August first, twenty twenty five. Former
Speaker 1: lawyer to Namdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous
Speaker 1: People of Biafra IPOB Barrister Afani G four, in a
Speaker 1: statement said the brutal abduction and subsequent killing of a
Speaker 1: Fessenachi on Yequlu, popularly known as fish Magnet in orca
Speaker 1: an Amber State is yet another chilling reminder that our
Speaker 1: homeland is bleeding and we are running out of time
Speaker 1: to act. Just last week, social medium was awash with
Speaker 1: heart wrenching reports of how this promising young man was
Speaker 1: kidnapped in his own home at zini Fite community, o Puno,
Speaker 1: Orcasouth local government area during a late night invasion by gunman.
Speaker 1: He was whizked away and later gruesomely murdered despite an
Speaker 1: undisclosed ransom being paid. The most devastating part, A Fessenachi,
Speaker 1: was the only son of his family, one life brutally
Speaker 1: snuffed out, a family shattered beyond repair, and a community
Speaker 1: thrown into mourning. I condemn this dastardly act in the
Speaker 1: strongest possible terms. I call on the Governor of an
Speaker 1: Ambra State, security agencies and every community stakeholder to rise
Speaker 1: to the occasion, not merely to issue statements, but to
Speaker 1: act decisively, hunt down these murderers, bring them to justice,
Speaker 1: and urgently strengthen the security architecture to forestall further bloodshed.
Speaker 1: But let us not deceive ourselves. This is more than
Speaker 1: an isolated tragedy. It is a symptom of a larger,
Speaker 1: deadlier disease that is eating deep into the soul of
Speaker 1: aler Igbo. A disturbing trend where crime is romanticized killers
Speaker 1: are shielded and absurd conspiracy theories appeddled on social media
Speaker 1: to justify barbarity. Some people, hiding behind faceless accounts shamelessly
Speaker 1: defend these murderers. Others spin reckless narratives like the laughable
Speaker 1: claim that the gunmen who killed over twenty innocent souls
Speaker 1: in Arndi's Rogua Fulani herdsman who master did Igbo language.
Speaker 1: What a tragic delusion. Must death knock at your door
Speaker 1: before you accept reality? And then there is the digital complicity,
Speaker 1: the growing chorus of voices on line excusing or minimizing
Speaker 1: the blood bath Rabite jing IMO's state and other parts
Speaker 1: of the Southeast. Many victims remain silent, paralyzed by fear,
Speaker 1: while some communities, particularly in the Achigue axis, have literally
Speaker 1: been conquered by criminal gangs who now dictate life and
Speaker 1: death within the domains. The most frightening part the reckless
Speaker 1: energy our own people expend defending these killers. When you
Speaker 1: shield murderers because they are your kinsmen, you embolden them.
Speaker 1: When you justify kidnappings under the guise of ethnic pride,
Speaker 1: you leave the gates wide open for the real external
Speaker 1: aggresses like armed herdsman whose invasion will come when we
Speaker 1: are weakest and most divided. Let this be crystal clear.
Speaker 1: Crime is crime, no matter who commits it. A criminal
Speaker 1: is not a hero. Anyone involved in these heinous acts
Speaker 1: must be decisively dealt with, without ethnic excuses, without sympathy,
Speaker 1: and without protection under any guise. To my dismay, only
Speaker 1: yesterday I saw a report purportedly authored by alleged Umuaka
Speaker 1: community trying desperately to downplay the scale of kidnappings and
Speaker 1: killings in their area. I ask, what message are we
Speaker 1: sending to a people who now live under siege, a
Speaker 1: community where fear is the new normal. The hard truth
Speaker 1: is this security is not the responsibility of government alone.
Speaker 1: It is a collective duty. Sadly, the conventional security architecture
Speaker 1: appears to have abandoned halpless citizens of imst State to
Speaker 1: their fate, either by wilful act of dereliction of duty, compromise,
Speaker 1: or collusion. But we as a people cannot and must
Speaker 1: not abandon ourselves. This is a wake up call. If
Speaker 1: we do not unite against this evil now, it will
Speaker 1: consume us all to morrow. It could be your brother,
Speaker 1: your sister, your only son, the time to act is now.
