Former Lawmaker Joan Onyemaechi Kidnapped in Asaba; Two Dead in Attack

Former lawmaker Joan Onyemaechi has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Asaba, Delta State. According to reports from Naija News, Onyemaechi was at her church, King Jesus and I, when the assailants attacked. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday night, resulted in the deaths of two police officers and her driver, who were present for her protection.
The gunmen opened fire on the security personnel upon arriving at the church and then abducted Onyemaechi and her children, fleeing the scene in her SUV. During the attack, a stray bullet struck and killed an innocent bystander. Local sources confirmed that the assailants fired indiscriminately as they made their escape.
Joan Onyemaechi, who recently stepped down as Commissioner for Technical Education to allow her brother to assume leadership in recent council elections, is reported to be the sole target of the kidnapping. The State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the kidnapping and reported that only one police officer and another individual were killed in the attack, but did not confirm whether the other deceased was her driver.

Yul Edochie Tells Tinubu to Fix Nigeria First Before Thinking of 2027 Elections

Nollywood star Yul Edochie has urged President Bola Tinubu to stay focused on fixing Nigeria’s current problems instead of getting caught up in early talks about the 2027 elections.

He wrote directly to the president, asking him not to be distracted by political noise: “We’re still in 2025. People are suffering. The focus should be on reducing hardship and restoring security. These are the real issues.” He ended his post with a prayer for Tinubu’s leadership, hoping he stays guided through the challenges ahead.

Peter Obi Questions Why Nnamdi Kanu Is Still in Detention

2027 presidential hopeful aspirant, Peter Obi, has questioned the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), saying the situation doesn’t make sense to him. Obi explained that he would push for a political solution to Kanu’s case and other similar issues across Nigeria rather than allowing them to drag on.
Speaking during an interview on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Obi said it was hard to understand why Kanu was still in detention over allegations like insulting those in power. When asked if he supports a political approach to the IPOB leader’s case, Obi responded, “Why is he still being held? It doesn’t make sense to me.
“Some say he used vulgar words… I haven’t seen it myself. But even if he did, it doesn’t affect me. If I’m president and people call me a thief or an idiot — as they already do — it doesn’t bother me. My job is to ensure people can feed themselves.”
He also stressed that the same approach would apply to similar situations across the country. “If there’s a bandit somewhere in the North East, I’ll go there and meet him. That’s how you create dialogue and say, enough is enough. After that, action will follow,” Obi added.
