 AG Moves to Decongest  Anambra Correctional Centres as Controller of Corrections Pays Visit. By Chinelo Okeke The Anambra State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Tobechukwu Nweke SAN, has reiterated his commitment to decongest correctional centres across the state through speedy dispensation of justice. Nweke made this known when the Anambra State Controller of Corrections, Ezinne Emele Onuoha, paid him a courtesy visit in his chambers at the Ministry of Justice, Awka. Speaking during the meeting, the Attorney General said many inmates remained in correctional facilities without trial, while some families were unaware of the whereabouts of their relatives in custody. He directed that a comprehensive inventory of inmates in all correctional centres in the state be compiled, especially awaiting-trial inmates, those granted bail but yet to perfect their bail conditions, those denied bail and remanded, as well as convicted persons serving various jail terms.

 FOUR DEATHS TOO MANY


Odunbaku Bacculala


It is with a heavy heart that I reflect on the painful reality before us. Just on the 27th of July, 2025, we joyfully witnessed the inauguration of newly elected Council Chairmen, Vice Chairmen, and Councillors across Lagos State. 


Sadly, in less than two months, the cold hands of death have taken away four of these vibrant leaders, all women, all dedicated to service.


1. Hon. Oluwakemi Rufai, Councillor, Ward C, Ibeju-Lekki, passed on 13th August, 2025 (just 17 days after inauguration).


2. Hon. Zainab Shotayo, Councillor, Ward C (Chief Whip), Odiolowo-Ojuwoye LCDA, passed on 18th August, 2025 (22 days after inauguration).


3. Princess Oluremi Nutayi Ajose, Vice Chairman, Badagry West LCDA, passed on 20th September, 2025 (55 days after inauguration).


4. Hon. Basirat Oluwakemi Mayabikan, Councillor, Ward F, Shomolu, passed on 21st September, 2025 (56 days after inauguration).


There are moments when words are too frail to carry the weight of grief, when silence speaks more eloquently than language ever could. The sorrow of losing such radiant and promising souls defies expression. For when death takes a loved one, what remains are memories, precious, tender, and eternal.


In less than sixty days, four shining lights have been dimmed. Four families are mourning. Four constituencies are grieving. And our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has lost pillars of promise and service.


This is indeed a moment of deep sadness, not just for their loved ones, but for all of us who believe in the future of grassroots leadership. 


Their dreams for their constituencies were cut short, but their courage and commitment will never be forgotten.


Yet, even in this season of grief, we must remain steadfast. Let these losses remind us of the fragility of life, the urgency of service, and the sacred responsibility we all share to carry forward the ideals they stood for. 


As a party and as a people, let us stand united, stronger, and more determined to honour their memories through purposeful leadership and unwavering dedication to our communities.


I pray that the Almighty comforts their families, strengthens their constituencies, and grants us the fortitude to bear these painful losses. 


May their gentle souls rest in perfect peace.
