Governor Mbah Hunts for Killers of OMMATA Chairman
I have directed security agencies in the state to produce his killers within 48 hours
The Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, on Sunday, ordered security agencies in the state to fish out the killers of the Chairman of Ogbete Main Market Traders Association, OMMATA, Chief Stephen Aniagu.
Aniagu was gunned down by yet to be identified assailants at the outskirts of Enugu metropolis, Saturday evening.
Reacting to the development on Sunday, Mbah swore that no one would commit such heinous crime in the state under his watch and go scot-free.
Mbah also commiserated with the deceased’s familyQQQK and OMMATA.
“My heart grieves over the brutal murder of the Chairman of OMMATA, the late Chief Stephen Aniagu. This is a sad loss, not only to OMATTA as a body, but also to the entire state.
“In the meantime, I have directed security agencies in the state to produce his killers within 48 hours.
As we have always maintained, and every merchant of death or criminal in the state ought to know by now, that we have demonstrated the capacity to bring them to book. We have the will, technology, and resources to pursue, track down, overtake, and defeat such workers of wickedness.
“Therefore, those who committed this atrocity have bitten more than they can chew.
They have murdered sleep, hence neither they nor the government and security agencies will sleep until all the perpetrators are captured and justice served in accordance with the law sooner than later.”
The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment.
The presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho, handed down the sentence on counts one, four, five, and six, opting for life imprisonment instead of the death penalty.
The court said it was satisfied that Kanu made series of broadcasts to incite violence and killings, in furtherance of his separatist agitation for Biafra.
Trial Justice James Omotosho based his decision on what he described as “uncontroverted evidence” that was adduced before the court by the prosecution.

Judge Expels Kanu from courtroom
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court this morning, ordered Nnamdi Kanu out of the courtroom for unruly behaviour midway through Thursday’s proceedings.
The trial judge is set to deliver judgment in a case spanning ten years.
The judge had earlier dismissed three fresh motions filed by Kanu, ruling them unmeritorious.
As the court prepared to deliver judgment, Kanu objected, insisting he had not filed his final written address.
He raised his voice, accused the judge of bias, and declared that the court “did not know the law.”
Following the outburst, security operatives escorted Kanu from the courtroom. Justice Omotosho is now set to proceed with reading the final judgment in the long‑running terrorism case.
A serious accident on Thursday morning caused heavy traffic at the Otedola Bridge, just before the Lagos State Secretariat, leaving hundreds of commuters stranded.
The gridlock has severely slowed movement, disrupting the morning rush as motorists struggle to navigate the heavily congested route.
As of now, no emergency team has arrived at the scene to manage the situation or restore traffic flow.
