Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State, has emphasized the transformative power of education in fostering development and innovation. In a statement shared on his X handle to mark the International Day of Education.
Obi celebrated the 100th anniversary of Dennis Memorial Grammar School (DMGS) Onitsha, describing it as a “great citadel of learning” that has made remarkable contributions to education in Nigeria.
While addressing students at DMGS, he praised its distinguished alumni, including Prof. Kenneth Dike, Africa’s first Black Vice-Chancellor; Emmanuel Ifeajuna, the first African to win Commonwealth gold; and Prof. James Ezeilo, former Vice-Chancellor of UNN. He encouraged students to emulate these icons by striving for greatness through education.
He also visited schools in Anambra’s rural areas, including Community Primary School and Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School in Nmiata-Anam.
He reminded students of the importance of education and pledged support to improve learning conditions.
Obi also reflected on fulfilling his promise to the Nmiata-Anam community by constructing a bridge and road, connecting the area to the rest of the state.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.

However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
