 Anambra Government Dissolves Nkwo Umueze Market Leadership Over Defiance of Monday Trading Directive By Ebele Iyke Odili/Amaka Isikala  The Anambra State Government has dissolved the caretaker committee of Nkwo Umueze Market for failing to comply with the state’s directive mandating full commercial activities on Mondays. The dissolved committee, led by Mr. Onyeka Ekemezie, has been relieved of its duties with immediate effect.  The former chairman and members of the committee have consequently ceased to function as the recognized leadership of the market. The decision follows a clear policy position of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo that no market in the state should remain closed on Mondays under any guise.  The Governor had earlier warned that any market leadership found enforcing or encouraging continued closure would be dissolved in the interest of economic stability and public order. It would be recalled that the Monday sit-at-home, previously imposed by the ...

 Kaduna Govt Sets Records Straight On Zidane's Trial, Dismisses Social Media Misinformation 


The Kaduna State Government has dismissed as false and misleading the narratives circulating on social media over the conviction of Victor Solomon, popularly known as Zidane, insisting that the judicial process was transparent, lawful and grounded strictly in evidence.


Addressing public speculation surrounding the judgment delivered on January 6, 2026, the Honourable Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, Sir James A. Kanyip, KSM, PhD, clarified that Solomon faced two separate criminal trials, before two different High Courts, over distinct offences involving different victims.


“There is no contradiction in the court outcomes being referenced online. Victor Solomon was tried in two completely different cases. He was acquitted in one in 2024, but lawfully convicted in another in 2026 based on the evidence before the court,” Kanyip stated.


The Attorney-General explained that the first case — Charge No. KDH/KAD/73C/2020 — which bordered on criminal conspiracy and attempted culpable homicide, ended with Solomon’s discharge and acquittal on May 21, 2024.


However, the second case — Charge No. KDH/KAD/78C/2020 — involved graver offences including criminal conspiracy, grievous harm without provocation and culpable homicide punishable with death. That trial was concluded in October 2025, culminating in Solomon’s conviction and sentence to death by hanging on January 6, 2026.


“The conviction was not arbitrary or politically motivated. It followed due process, full trial and judicial evaluation of facts and evidence,” Kanyip stressed, noting that the defendant retains the constitutional right to appeal up to the Supreme Court.


Reacting to the growing online commentary, the Commissioner for Information, Malam Ahmed Maiyaki, warned that misinformation surrounding sensitive judicial matters poses a threat to public order.


“The deliberate spread of half-truths and false claims around court judgments is dangerous. It risks inflaming passions and creating unnecessary tension. Kaduna residents must verify information before sharing it,” Maiyaki cautioned.


The Kaduna State Government reaffirmed that under the administration of Governor Uba Sani, CON, governance will continue to be anchored on the rule of law, fairness and inclusivity, assuring citizens that justice in Kaduna State will always be pursued transparently and without prejudice.
