 Maduro, Celia Flores allowed to use Venezuelan government funds for attorneys, ending legal standoff Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Celia Flores will be allowed to use funds from the Venezuelan government to pay their attorneys, resolving a monthlong dispute over legal financing under U.S. sanctions.

 Man shoots Abia youth dead for playing football near his house


A 70-year-old man, Mr Stephen Irobunda has escaped being lynched in Ohokobe Ndume, Umuahia North LGA of Abia State for allegedly killing a young man, Mr Bright Odizuru.

The victim, Odizuru, was shot dead on Saturday by the suspect during an altercation between the aged man and some youths in the community.


Community sources told Dailypost that the victim, together with other youths, were playing football near Irobunda’s house during local government election, which infuriated the suspect and he fired in the air to scare away the youths.

The youths in response went back to Irobunda house to know why he was trying to intimidate them with gunshots and that point, the man drew his gun again and shot one of the youths, Bright Odizuru in his abdomen, leading to his death in a hospital.

The death of the young man infuriated the Ohokobe Mbaocha youths who pounced on the suspect and attempted to lynch him before he was rescued by security agents.

Not done, the youths also tried to set his house ablaze, but were calmed down by the security agents.

The spokesperson of Abia State Police Command, ASP Maureen Chinaka confirmed the killing and said that “Police have such reports, crime scene has been visited and investigation is ongoing at SCID”.
