Abia Community Youths Storm LGA Headquarters Over Murdered Member
Members of Amangwo community in Ikwuano LGA of Abia State have protested in front of the Ikwuano local government headquarters in Isiala Oboro, to demand justice for a 22-year-old youth, Solomon Ikokwu who was allegedly murdered by suspected members of a disbanded community security team.
The protest comes days after the mother of the victim, Mrs Onyekachi Ikokwu cried out to the concerned authorities in Abia State to arrest and prosecute the killers of his young son.
Following Mrs Onyekachi Ikokwu’s outcry, some suspects were arrested by the Police and detained at State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Umuahia in alleged connection with the murder.
However, the members of Amangwo community members, stormed the local government headquarters located along Umuahia–Ikot Ekpene road, chanting songs of grief, alleging that those who killed their son on trump-up allegations, took away his head, hand and some other parts.
The Amangwo natives who appealed to the Chairman of Ikwuano LGA, Anthony Nwaubani to ensure that justice is done, regretted that those who killed their son, buried his severed body in a shallow grave near a stream.
One of the protesters, who simply identified himself as Brother Kent, said the death of the youth should not be swept under the carpet and called for deeper investigation to unravel and prosecution of everyone involved in the murder.
“We want justice for Solomon. We want his head and body parts recovered,” the community members were seen shouting.
They further said that they had reported the matter to the Department of Security Service, DSS.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
