 Some Roads Awarded by Former Governor Obaseki Not Properly Documented – Edo State Committee The Edo State Assets Verification Committee has revealed that some roads awarded under the administration of former Governor Godwin Obaseki were not properly documented. Dr. Ernest Afolabi Umakhihe, the committee chairman, disclosed this in a press briefing on Thursday, stating that these roads were not accurately recorded in the Ministry of Roads and Bridges (now Ministry of Works) files presented to the committee. He also highlighted a significant financial burden left by the previous government, with about ₦200 billion in outstanding payments to contractors for ongoing road projects. Umakhihe claimed that while road contracts were awarded in 2024, contractors were only provided with mobilization funds, and in some cases, money was reportedly returned to government officials. This situation, he said, has delayed the progress of the road projects. The committee further observed inadequate ...

 Police arrest man, girlfriend for murdering septuagenarian


A 33-year-old man, Ikechukwu Okoye, and his girlfriend, Juliet Ogbodo, 39, have been arrested by the Enugu State Police for allegedly abducting and murdering a 70-year-old woman, Mrs Mary Nwatu.


The couple, from Onuorie-Obuno in Akpugo Community, Nkanu West Local Government Area, allegedly buried the victim in a shallow grave and demanded a N6 million ransom from her children.


They were caught after collecting N20,000 from the family to facilitate a phone call with the victim.


A statement on Thursday by the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said the command’s Anti-Kidnapping Tactical Squad made the arrest.


According to him, preliminary investigations revealed that Mrs Nwatu was reported missing on September 15, 2024.


Ndukwe explained, “On October 5, 2024, Ikechukwu Okoye, identified as the principal suspect and a kinsman of the victim, began contacting her children, demanding a ransom of N6m.


“Upon his arrest, which followed credible intelligence reports, Okoye confessed to kidnapping Mrs Nwatu on September 14, 2024, around 8:00 am.


“He stated that the victim came to their house to look for his mother when he kidnapped, murdered, and buried her in a shallow grave inside an uncompleted building in the compound.”


He added that Okoye also confessed to demanding a ransom from the victim’s children, initially asking for N6 million which was later negotiated to N3 million.


“He eventually received payment of N20,000 which was to allow the children to hear their mother’s voice via the phone before further payments.”


Ndukwe explained that upon interrogation, Okoye’s mistress confessed to being aware of the crime but failed to report it to the police or any other relevant authorities for being afraid.


“The victim’s corpse has been exhumed and deposited at a mortuary for preservation and autopsy.


“The suspects, along with any other individuals found complicit in this heinous crime, will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of investigations,” Ndukwe added.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
