 Governor Alex Otti Highlights How Kidnappers, Bandits Were Dislodged from Abia Communities in Abia Third Anniversary Speech Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has disclosed that his administration inherited a security crisis in which kidnappers, armed robbers, and other criminal gangs held several communities hostage before being dislodged through sustained operations.

 Tension in Abia Community as Cassava Processing Plant Faces Court Injunction The Obinolu Chukwu community in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State is currently experiencing heightened tension following plans to establish a cassava processing plant on a parcel of land that remains under court litigation.

 Police Barricade Venue for Goodluck Jonathan’s PDP Presidential Nomination in Abuja Security operatives on Saturday blocked access to the A-Class Park and Event Centre in Wuse 2, preventing a planned convention by Turaki-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to ratify former President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential candidate. Police officers completely barricaded the venue and sealed off major access roads leading to the centre from the Wuse and Maitama axes, leaving delegates and other attendees unable to gain entry. The event was being organised by a PDP faction loyal to Tanimu Turaki. The blockade comes amid heightened tensions within the party. Sources within the PDP faction had earlier alleged that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, threatened to shut down the venue and allegedly pressured the proprietors of the facility to deny the faction access. As of the time of filing this report, the police are maintaining a heavy presen...

 Family Finds Missing Son Locked in Prison for 18 Years Since Age 14 Without Trial  The family of Gospel Kinanee, who went missing as a 14-year-old boy in 2007, has finally been reunited with him after he spent 18 years in the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre without any formal charge or record of arrest. According to his elder brother, Gospel left home in the afternoon to play with friends in 2007 but never returned. After an exhaustive search across their community, police stations, hospitals, and other locations yielded no results, the family gave up hope. The trauma of his disappearance led to the death of both parents the same year. In early 2025, the family was contacted by lawyers led by Cyrus Onu, who had discovered Gospel during a prison welfare and rehabilitation exercise. At the time of his discovery, Gospel, now 32, was mentally unstable, could not recognise his family members, and had no recollection of how he ended up in prison. He was released after the Chief J...
