Peter Obi Applauds Nigeria Police for Successful Rescue Operation of Mrs. Folashade Odumusu
Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, has commended the Nigeria Police for their swift and effective rescue operation of Mrs. Folashade Odumusu, the wife of retired AIG Hakeem Odumusu, who was kidnapped recently.
Obi praised the operation for its precision, which led to the safe release of Mrs Odumusu and the neutralization of some kidnappers, as well as the recovery of weapons and ransom.
The Ogun State Police Command, with support from the Force Headquarters and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, was recognized for its professional handling of the case. The IGP, who showed great interest in the case, applauded the Ogun Command for dismantling the criminal network responsible for the abduction.
Obi emphasized that with the right leadership, motivation, and support from security agencies, crime can be tackled effectively.
He called on the Nigeria Police to apply the same level of urgency and professionalism to cases involving everyday Nigerians, many of whom remain victims of abduction without proper rescue efforts.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
Nigerian politician Peter Obi speaks on the increase in the cost of living in Nigeria and shared how more Nigerians are now hungry and the hunger crisis is increasing in the country.
He stated, “Despite three years of Tinubu’s food emergency, Nigeria’s hunger ranking index declined to among the worst nations globally.”
“Yet the outcome of this has been the opposite. Nigeria’s hunger index has worsened significantly. Nigeria’s hunger index ranking was 103rd out of 123 countries surveyed in 2022/2023, and this figure has since worsened to 115th out of 123 countries surveyed in 2025/2026.”
The U.S. government has released a warning to social media influencers who will be coming to watch the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The government placed a rule on creating content to make money while using a tourist visa and stated that it could lead to deportation back to their country.
It can be noted that the World Cup will be hosted in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
“People who enter the United States under a visitor program and receive income from a U.S. source would be violating the conditions of their admission status.”
