I remember how I would always tell you I would make you proud and it’s sad you ain’t here now . Thank you for all you taught me and did for me … Till we meet again jest on in power.” He wrote.

Man 'mistakenly' kills pregnant wife for failing to open gate on time in Anambra

This incident reportedly took place in the Ezi-Ogwugwu, Otolo Nnewi in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State. According to Obiora, he committed the act as a result of domestic violence. He admitted to the crime to his in-laws, who are struggling to come to terms with the tragic event. In his words; “I returned home in the morning of March 2, 2023, and was knocking at the gate, but my wife did not open immediately. “In that anger, I started shouting at her. I first slapped and hit her from the gate to the house before angrily grabbing her on the neck and strangling her to death. “I couldn’t believe what happened because I never expected that such actions would lead to her death. “I eventually abandoned the corpse and left out of fear and confusion, after confiding in few persons who I sought advice on what to do. “It was later in the evening that my mother reached out to my wife’s family members.” According to a source close to the family, the couple, who got married in August of last year, were anticipating the arrival of their first child before the unfortunate incident occurred. The source revealed that the couple had been experiencing intermittent episodes of domestic violence and familial challenges, which the wife’s family was unaware of. Nathaniel Uzuegbunam’s family from Obiuno community in Otolo Nnewi expressed confusion over why the perpetrator was not present during the entire ordeal and why the mother had to be the one to deliver the tragic news. “At about 7pm on Thursday, March 2, 2023, the deceased family received a call from the husband’s mother, informing them that their daughter had just slumped and appeared to be dead. “As soon as they made their way to their in-law’s residence at Ezi-Ogwugwu, they were informed that their daughter had been rushed to the Nnewi Diocesan Hospital at Akwudo. “At the hospital, the doctor on duty informed them that their daughter was dead after examining her body,” the source stated. When contacted, Police spokesperson Tochukwu Ikenga was unable to verify the incident, but a senior police officer at the Command stated that the suspect would face charges once the investigations were completed.

Deyemi Okanlawon pens open letter to Hon-elect Thaddeus Attah

Famous Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon, pens an open letter to the Honorable-elect of Eti-Osa LGA in Lagos, Thaddeus Attah.

This comes following the loss of the actor turned politician, Banky W who lost the position to Attah during the February 25th elections. In an Instagram post, Deyemi congratulated the Honorable while emphasizing that he voted for Banky W and how he would’ve been the better man for the job.

OPEN LETTER TO HOR-ELECT THADDEUS ATTAH Dear Sir,
I’ll like to use this opportunity to congratulate you, Mr. Thaddeus Attah @jt.atta of the Labour Party(LP), as the winner of the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives. Before I go ahead with what I will like to say, I will like to fully disclose that I voted for Mr. Bankole Wellington of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as I honestly thought he would have been the best candidate for the job. I do have immense faith in our discernment as a people to elect the right candidate, however I am also quite worried about the role tribal sentiments, cyberbullying and herd mentality on all sides has played in our electoral process. That being said, I am a firm believer in democracy and I would want nothing more than for the people’s wish to prevail so once again I congratulate you Sir.

Thaddeus Attah

Mr Attah, same as with a lot of Lagosians, I only first heard of you when you were announced the winner a few days ago. Since that time I have made a significant effort to find out as much as possible about our newly elected federal HOR candidate. To my surprise, my quest for answers left me even more puzzled as to who you really are as well as what your qualifications, past precedents and plans are for the people of Eti-Osa. With little or no online presence, and for someone that overthrew both an incumbent and a public figure, I am yet to find any indications of your campaign manifesto. It would therefore be a great pleasure if you Sir will do me the honour of accepting an invitation to join me online for a live Instagram conversation this weekend to address concerns and respond to questions many others like myself may have. Finally, without seeking to influence or enforce any candidate on anyone, I will like to use this medium to urge all well-meaning, progressive Lagosians ahead of the March 11 elections to find their own individual voice such that when we head to the polls we ensure the person we are voting for reflects our collective want for great leadership and our desire for excellent governance. I look forward to a lively discourse. Your constituent,
Deyemi Okanlawon.”
