ABDUCTED FEMALE OFFICER NOT YET RESCUED, SEARCH EFFORT STILL ONGOING.(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE.

ABDUCTED FEMALE OFFICER NOT YET RESCUED, SEARCH EFFORT STILL ONGOING  The attention of the Nigerian Army (NA) has been drawn to some  publications circulating in the social media insinuating the rescue of Lieutenant PP Johnson, a female officer who was abducted on Monday 26 December 2022 while visiting her grandmother in Aku-Okigwe in Imo state, shortly after completion of her Cadet training and subsequent commissioning as a Lieutenant into the Nigerian Army. A video footage of her abduction had emerged in the social media where her abductors claimed her abduction was in line with their fight for Biafra against the Nigerian State. It is instructive that the officer’s circumstance as a woman and a Nigerian citizen of South Eastern extraction did not dissuade her abductors from dehumanizing her in their mindless attempt to commit atrocities under the guise of fighting for Biafra. This evidently is another pointer to the myriads of crimes being unleashed by IPOB/ ESN on Ndigbo, the very p

He led a good life and made a huge contribution to the development of global football in particular and world sport in general.  “He had an enormous generousity of spirit and humility despite his greatness as a footballer and sportsman.

Soludo Opposes Deputy, Lauds Security Agencies For Setting Roadblocks In Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has passed a vote of confidence on security agencies for setting up checkpoints around the state, in contravention of his deputy’s recent stand on road blocks. Deputy Governor Onyekachukwu Ibezim last Saturday confronted soldiers who erected barricades at Amansea, a border town near Enugu State, causing heavy gridlock for Christmas travellers. Mr Ibezim had during the statewide traffic control tour said it was unacceptable to the government that the motoring public would spend a long time and burn petrol on traffic because of artificial gridlock caused by soldiers. But in a statement by Chief Press Secretary Christian Aburime on Wednesday, Governor Soludo said “until the insecurity situation comes down to near zero, we will continue to have the roadblocks in place.” He alleged that criminals wanted the security officers to leave the roads, but his administration would en
