The sentence was handed down in Manhattan federal court after a hearing that included emotional testimony from Rohde, who confronted Haji Najibullah directly and criticized him for failing to fully accept responsibility for his actions. Rohde said he was disappointed by what he viewed as attempts to shift blame for the kidnapping that changed the lives of everyone involved. Rohde, another journalist, and a driver were abducted in Afghanistan after being lured to what they believed would be an interview.

 Nancy Isime Reveals Why She Didn't Publicly Mourn Alexx Ekubo: "A Private Honour"


Nollywood star Nancy Isime has finally addressed the swirling questions regarding her notable silence following the tragic passing of her colleague, Alexx Ekubo, in May. While the entertainment industry and fans alike were awash with emotional tributes and heartfelt messages celebrating Alexx's life after he succumbed to complications related to liver cancer, Isime's social media pages remained conspicuously bare of public condolences.


Her perceived absence from the collective public mourning sparked considerable speculation among followers, who were aware of the close friendship she shared with the late actor. Now, in a candid interview with Yanga FM, Nancy Isime has shed light on her decision, revealing that her choice was not indicative of a lack of love or respect for Alexx, but rather a deeply personal way of honouring his memory.


A Private Act of Remembrance


During the interview, Isime clarified that while she didn't post lengthy public tributes, she chose a more intimate gesture of remembrance. She revealed that she updated her Instagram display picture to feature Alexx Ekubo's photograph, serving as a quiet yet powerful mark of respect and a constant reminder of their bond.


"My decision not to post a tribute did not mean I loved or valued Alex any less," she explained, emphasising her preference for a private form of grieving and honouring a friend who meant so much to her.


Cherishing a Genuine Connection


Reflecting on the relationship she shared with Alexx Ekubo, Nancy Isime painted a picture of a profound and genuine friendship. She described him as a truly authentic individual who left a significant, positive impact on everyone he encountered. Among his most cherished qualities, Isime highlighted Alexx's unwavering support for others, even in moments of disagreement.


His capacity for support, she noted, was one of his strongest characteristics, making him a rare and invaluable friend. Isime also shared the emotional moment she learned of Alexx's sudden passing, further underscoring the deep personal connection she felt.


Her revelation offers insight into the varying ways individuals cope with loss, reminding fans that public displays of grief are not the only, or necessarily the most profound, expressions of love and remembrance.
