PETER OBI CONDEMNS FATAL SHOOTING OF SUPERSPORTS CREW, SAYS KILLINGS, KIDNAPPINGS HAVE BECOME WORSE

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2024 election, Peter Obi, has condemned the killing of some crew members of Supersports TV in a tragic ambush along the Ihiala-Orlu Road, Anambra State.
Naija News reports that a SuperSports crew member and a police officer were fatally shot by unknown gunmen while on their way to cover the Super Eagles 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Libya.

The victims were ambushed on the Ihiala-Orlu Road in Anambra State, on Tuesday, 8th October 2024, while travelling to cover Nigeria vs Libya 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which ended in a 1-0 win for the Super Eagles on Friday, October 11.

The bandits’ attack on the bus carrying the SuperSport crew members and security personnel resulted in the loss of a cameraman, a police officer, and the bus driver.

Reacting in a post on his X handle on Sunday, Peter Obi stated that kidnappings and killings in Nigeria have continued unabated and is getting worse by the day.

According to the former Anambra State Governor, Nigerians are gradually losing count of the people who have lost their lives to insecurity.

He wrote: “The never-ending incidents of killings, kidnappings and other violent crimes across the country have continued to be of concern to many. The situation has continued unabated and is worse by the day.

“Non-state actors have continued to inflict pain and sorrow on families whose loved ones are often kidnapped and sometimes killed in gruesome manners.

“In particular, I condemn, in totality, the unfortunate killing of some crew members of Supersports TV, who were attacked in a tragic ambush along the Ihiala-Orlu Road, Anambra State, a few days ago.

“These media practitioners were on their way to Uyo to perform official duty for their medium and, indeed, the nation when the tragic incident happened, resulting in their death and the kidnap of others.

“Two days ago, a few persons were also reportedly killed while some others were injured in a terror attack carried out by criminals in the Agatu local government area of Benue state.

“These violent attacks, many of which go unreported, have now continued to define our daily existence in our once-secured nation.

“We are gradually losing count of the people who have lost their lives to insecurity in our nation.

“How much longer do we allow our people to die before we decide enough is enough?

“I condole with the families who have lost dear ones to these recent attacks while praying for eternal rest on the dead and quick recovery for the injured.

“We are all in this together as a nation and will continue to demand for the security of lives and property of every Nigerian.”

    OVER 18 TRANSMISSION TOWERS VANDALIZED IN FIVE DAYS – TCN CRIES OUT

    OVER 18 TRANSMISSION TOWERS VANDALIZED IN FIVE DAYS – TCN CRIES OUT The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has disclosed that over 18 transmission towers have been vandalized between January 9 and January 14, 2025, across Rivers, Abia, and Kano States. TCN’s General Manager of Transmission for the Port Harcourt Region, Engr. Emmanuel Okpa, reported that routine patrols by linesmen on January 10, 2025, uncovered damage to towers 171 through 181 and tower 184. On January 14, vandals targeted towers 146, 147, and 149 along the Owerri/Ahoada 132kV line in Rivers State, removing base brackets and compromising the stability of the towers. In Abia, Head of the Lines Department for the Region, Engr. Azuh Lucky, reported the theft of bolts, nuts, and structural members from towers 160 to 162 on the Alaoji/Umuahia 132kV line, which was under repair on January 13, 2025. Meanwhile, in Kano, towers 105, 106, and 107 along the Katsina-Gazoua 132/33kV transmission line were critically damaged by vandals on January 9, 2025, compromising their structural integrity and risking collapse. In the early hours of January 17, 2025, vandalized 132kV underground transmission cables were discovered by TCN engineers near Millennium Park in Abuja. This affected power supply to the central area and its environs. A statement by TCN’s General Manager on Public Affairs, Ndidi Mbah, on Sunday said these incidents pose a significant challenge to our operations as a company. “We have bolstered security measures, increased lines patrol, and the number of vigilante groups, and we are also collaborating with security operatives. However, we need and are appealing for the full support of every Nigerian, particularly those in communities hosting our installations. We must collectively recognize that the transmission network is our collective asset and essential for our socioeconomic development.” She said the vandals and those who buy stolen materials are sabotaging the nation and thus all hands must be on deck to ensure the growth of the nation’s power sector, which is critical to the development of our country. “TCN’s grid expansion plans are under tremendous strain due to the persistent vandalism of its installations. The financial implications of constant repairs to vandalized transmission installations, along with the stress on the grid, are having adverse effects on TCNs grid expansion drive.”

    NIGERIAN SUFFERING BECAUSE OF SOUTH EAST – ORJI UZOR KALU

    NIGERIANS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF SOUTH EAST – ORJI UZOR KALU Abia North Senator, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said some of the challenges facing Nigeria could be solved in the South East with the right atmosphere.Senator Kalu said there was a need to restore the region to its peaceful state to fasten productivity of the country.He stated that most of the items produced in China and other foreign nations could be produced in the region if security was guaranteed.Kalu stated this on Saturday in an interview with Arise News. He advocated for efforts to be made to fasten the release of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu.The All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker noted that President Bola Tinubu would start the second phase of his administration’s policies as soon as insecurity was defeated.“I think President Tinubu is coming there. I mean, Rome was not built in a day. We are just battling with the insurgents in our area and gradually we are coming up. And as we are coming up, we will now start thinking on the next step.“Once we calm down the insurgents or banditry and our unknown government and all the rest of them, the President and his team and all of us will advise him to open the chapter two of the book. And the chapter two will be development. Once you have no insurgents, you have no unknown gunmen, and you don’t have any disturbances about our people, we will talk page two of development,” he said.South East PotentialThe former governor of Abia State emphasized that the South East region needs a peaceful atmosphere, electricity and good policies to maximize its economic potential.While acknowledging the need for Kanu to be released for the security of the region, Senator Kalu called on IPOB lawyers and the judiciary to expedite action on the legal process.“We have always, people we say, we have always asked the president, according to law, find the best way of law to address the issue of South East, both the issue of the IPOB, the issue of everybody, to address this within the context of law of Nigeria. So that possibly, very quickly, Nnamdi Kanu will be released from prisons and we will continue to live a better life and produce everything.“Let me be honest with you. Nigerians are suffering because of the problem we are having in the South East. The South East can produce everything you buy in China. We can make them in Aba, Nnewi and Onitsha. Everything you buy from China. Just give us electricity, give us the way that we need and give us the direction. We will produce everything that you produce in China. The technologies are there, everything, we have it, but we need a better atmosphere.“We need to clean away properly, in agreement, the sit-at-home which has cost hundreds of billions of Naira out of the South East. We need to bring back the I can do it spirit. We need to send back Eging by Eging. We need to go back to what we know how to do,” he stated.Tinubu Believes In the Capacity of South EastThe Abia North lawmaker explained that President Tinubu was waiting for the judiciary to conclude the legal process on Kanu’s case.He added that as soon as the judiciary had done everything in line with the rule of law, the President would intervene.He continued, “When I was governor, a lot of things were being manufactured in Aba. People have begged Aba people to stop putting made in Paris, made in Spain, made in Brazil. They should stop putting made in Aba. We can supply every equipment this country needs from that region of the country.“President Tinubu himself knows this because I can…
