Her forthcoming arraignment at the Federal High Court in Lagos on April 8 has garnered public interest regarding the details of her arrest, extended detention, and eventual release on bail. On February 19, 2025, SaharaReporters brought to light that the police had leveled 11 charges against Afeh, accusing her of various offenses, including cyberstalking and harassment of multiple individuals, notably Mr. Obidi Anthony and his daughters, Nancy Ume and Korra Obidi.

She claims that soldiers allegedly deployed by the agency looted her store during a raid at the Onitsha drug market, popularly known as Ogbo Ogwu.

Mrs. Uju Ezeobi, a victim in a multi-million-naira land scam linked to Mrs. Nkiruka Duru, has tragically died in custody at the Nigeria Police Zonal Headquarters (Zone 13) in Ukpo, Anambra State, under suspicious circumstances. Her passing occurred shortly after her legal team, led by Okolo Ejike Esq, lodged a formal complaint with Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, regarding the mistreatment she faced. The complaint outlined how certain officers, notably SP Utazi, appeared to be acting in collusion with Duru and her associates, allegedly attempting to intimidate and unjustly detain Mrs. Ezeobi. A source revealed, “She is dead, having complained against a suspect, Mrs. Nkiruka Duru, who is currently being tried for a significant land scam. Duru seems to have manipulated the police into facilitating the death of Mrs. Uju Ezeobi at Zone 13.” The origins of this case trace back to 2021, when Mrs. Duru, who presides over the United Business Women Association, reportedly enticed...

Traders at the Ogbo Ogwu Bridgehead Drug Market in Onitsha, Anambra State, took to the streets on Tuesday to voice their frustration over the ongoing closure of their shops by the National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC). The dissatisfied traders also rejected the alleged N2 million fine imposed by NAFDAC for reopening their shops, according to reports from Vanguard. For the past two months, the market has remained closed, leading to significant economic hardships, financial difficulties, and even tragic losses among traders. Under the banner of the Concerned and Genuine Members of Ogbo-Ogwu Drug Market, the demonstrators highlighted the severe consequences of the lockdown. They reported that at least five members have lost their lives due to stress, depression, and hunger, while many others have required hospitalization.

A recent report from Save the Consumers, a Nigerian NGO dedicated to protecting consumer rights, has highlighted significant disparities in subscription prices set by MultiChoice for customers in Nigeria compared to those in South Africa. The report criticized the 21% price increase implemented by MultiChoice Nigeria for its DStv and GOtv services, which began on March 1, 2025, pointing out the inequalities in pricing. According to the findings, “The 21% increase on DStv and GOtv subscriptions for Nigerian customers sharply contrasts with the company’s decision to lower prices by as much as 38% and improve services for its South African subscribers during the same timeframe. This move is not just insensitive and exploitative; it is also overtly discriminatory. Coming on the heels of a price hike in May 2024 in Nigeria, this latest increase blatantly disregards a directive from the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) to pause all price adjustments until ongoin...

Nigerian human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has made serious claims regarding the late TB Joshua, founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN). According to Sowore, Joshua secretly traveled to Turkey for stroke treatment, all while promoting the idea of miraculous healings to his followers. In an interview on the KaaTruths program, Sowore revealed that Joshua sought medical assistance in Turkey but kept this information hidden from the public. “TB Joshua, when he had a stroke, didn’t even go to a Christian country. He went to Turkey. He spent time in Turkey treating his stroke. He was flown there by his private jet,” Sowore asserted. Joshua’s decision to keep quiet about his health problems is said to have played a role in his untimely passing. “Many people are unaware that TB Joshua was actually treated in Turkey after having a stroke,” he stated. “What I’ve heard is that his desire to conceal his illness contributed to his death. He shied away from telling the public abou...

Recent official data reveals that between January 2013 and December 2024, Canada rejected asylum claims from 13,171 Nigerians seeking refugee protection. In 2024 alone, 811 Nigerians who applied for refugee status received denials from the Canadian government.

An officer assesses whether the claim merits referral to the IRB. If deemed eligible, the claim is referred to the RPD to initiate the refugee protection process. The year 201...
