Aba residents have decried the killing of Mr Samuel Kalu, (aka aki ilu- bitter kola), a Nigerian resident in Malaysia who was shot dead Sunday evening by gunmen in Umuibe Street, Aba.

Mr Okere Ogbonna, a resident of the area who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), said Kalu was shot at a barbing saloon at Umuibe Street, off Item Road, Ndiegoro Aba.

Okere said the incident took place on Sunday, stressing that the residents of the area were thrown into panic.

He said that Kalu, who hailed from Ibinaukwu Igbere, in Bende Local Government Area of Abia was “born and bred’’ at the Ndiegoro area of Aba where he was brutally killed.

When contacted, the Abia Police Command Public Relation Officer, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, confirmed that the incident really happened.

“We learnt that the young man was shot in a barbing saloon.

“He got a call and either he directed them to where he went or the people went in there and shot him.

“The case is under investigation. We are doing our best to track the hoodlums,” he said.

Ogbonna said that the reported recurrence of killings in the area is the reason residents should volunteer information to the police.

Buhari’s five years in the saddle (2) - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys President Muhammadu Buhari TAKING it from the regime’s three-point agenda: revival of the economy, securing the country and fighting corruption, it can be safely said that nothing has really changed (except in many cases for the worse). The economy was sagging when he took over in 2015. It went into recession later that year and marginally broke the surface in late 2018. The nation has gone back to the debt trap under this regime, and more borrowing is likely to continue in the post-COVID-19 pandemic economy. Perhaps the area the Buhari government has made some impact is the anti-graft war. Though corruption is still very endemic in government, there is a great awareness of an ongoing anti-graft war, with many former governors jailed and lots of stolen funds recovered. The regime has failed to tackle the nation’s security challenges. Before Buhari took over, Boko Haram Islamic terror was the main problem facing the nation. Today, the Islamists are s...

A destiny among the nations (2) - The Great Case

How to Seduce Straight Guys Dr. Obadiah Mailafia By Obadiah Mailafia THE late French agronomist, René Dumont, once lamented that African nations have no purpose. I would imagine he was starting from the premise that the majority of our countries emerged as colonial contraptions that did not follow the linear path of nation building and political evolution followed by the European Westphalian state. With regard to Nigeria, many commentators refer to “the mistake of 1914”. My friend Tony Nnaji, a jurist of uncommon erudition, has made the valid point that the 1914 amalgamation did not involve any plebiscite or consultation with the peoples so affected. It is self-evident that the British had no noble intentions in bringing us together. They did it for reasons linked to Weberian administrative rationality, including the need to build a war-economy at the wake of World War I. The mysterious hand of Providence is often at work in human affairs, as Cambridge historian Sir Herbert Butte...
