 OCHA Brigade Arrests 13 people Over Illegal Kaolin Excavation In Ozubulu, Ukpor Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra (OCHA) Brigade has arrested 13 suspects in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area, and Ukpor, Nnewi South Local Government Area, over illegal kaolin excavation and activities linked to severe environmental degradation in Anambra State.

Illegal excavation has been identified as a major driver of erosion in Anambra State, weakening soil structure, destroying farmlands, and exposing communities to flooding and gully erosion.

 Prof Wole Soyinka suddenly became deaf, dumb under Tinubu – Fr Kelvin Ugwu


Catholic missionary priest working in Gambia, Rev Fr Kelvin Ugwu, has criticised Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka over what he described as the writer’s silence on the hardship facing Nigerians under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.


In a Facebook post titled ‘Prof Soyinka then vs Prof Soyinka now’, on Saturday, the priest compared Soyinka’s past activism under previous administrations to his perceived quietness in recent times.


Ugwu recalled that during the administrations of former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, Soyinka was outspoken, describing him as a “movement” and “social crusader” who openly challenged government excesses.


He noted, however, that Soyinka’s criticism became less vocal during late President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure and has now, according to him, completely faded under Tinubu’s government.


“Then came Tinubu, a man with no clear identity and whose academic records are in question. In just two years in office, he has plunged Nigeria into deeper debt and Nigerians into multidimensional poverty,” Ugwu wrote.


He lamented that Soyinka, once a prominent voice for the masses, had “suddenly become deaf and dumb” under Tinubu’s administration, questioning what may have caused the change.
