  — Mazi Ejimofor Opara There is a widespread message amongst Ndi Anambra that has become subject of conversations at various formal and informal fora. Skit-makers have hopped on it to create contents — from the informative to the entertaining, even the very bizarre ones have emerged that often exaggerate the actual purport of the message. However, something is sure, the message is gaining wide acceptance and sinking into the consciousness of all.  Soludo in his fight against criminality is not only providing kinetic options, he has widened his non-kinetic strategy to include a vociferous evangelism against negative trends and debased psychological orientations that form the basis for reprehensible criminal conduct in many Anambra communities. Dubious magic and warped belief in unexplainable wealth cloaked as Igbo spirituality, has gained a debilitating ascendancy that now derail many young people from accepting the virtues of hard work and sticking to socially approved means ...

Enejere said majority did not support the war. Majority of our Elders did not support the military option but our young officers did not listen to them.  The war ended with damning consequences. We lost everything. We lost thousands of soldiers and civilians, we lost our homes and investments across Nigeria especially in Rivers State.  We lost hundreds of our Children to strange diseases. I was a witness as a small boy. We could not go to school for 3 years. In Rivers State our property became abandoned property till date. We picked from the pieces, from nothing, from pains, agonies and sorrows our moved on. 50 years after ( 1970- 2020) we went back to 1967.

  I am compelled to respond to the publication in The Punch Newspaper on February 12, 2025, featuring HRH Igwe Okekeuche of Enugwu Agidi. The article pertains to the arrest of an alleged kidnapper, Mr. Tansi, who was reportedly a palace guard. I have several concerns and questions arising from the publication: *(1) Recruitment and Appointment* His Highness denied any personal dealings with Mr. Tansi and commended Governor Soludo and security agencies for the arrest. However, I question who recruited Mr. Tansi into the palace guard and appointed him commander of the Enugwu Agidi Vigilante. Furthermore, who bailed him out from police detention when he was first arrested for a related offense? Did Igwe Okekeuche, as the chief security officer, invite the Anambra State government to conduct a forensic analysis on Mr. Tansi before hiring him as a guard? Did he investigate the claims of the President General regarding Mr. Tansi's criminal involvement before appointing him commander of co...
