You Can't Kill and take my property, Opukeme tells wife, orders lawyer for divorce

You Can't Kill and take my property, Opukeme tells wife, orders lawyer for divorce 

By Esther Eugene, Warri

A popular United kingdom trained investigative journalist and publisher Mr. Cletus Opukeme has sent an urgent SMS, Save my soul 'SOS' to  the Divisional Police Officer ( DPO) Agbarho Police Station, Ughelli North LGA, Delta State over frequent verbal/physical threat to his life.

According to Opukeme, his estranged wife is highly violent,terribly  hot-tempered and physically strong. That she had attacked him in several occasions over minor misunderstanding from which he escaped death due to his knowledge in the act of self-defense. " This cannot continue with a woman turning his house to ring. If she does not kill me, I will kill her while defending myself. Any woman that first attacks her husband is demonic and possessed" He said.

He said his estranged wife Happiness Opukeme, an Igwere by tribe from Rivers State have three children for him in their ten years of  relationship.

He said the police had questioned Happiness sometime in February, 2022 following similar threat to his life which he reported to the police then and the police compelled her to make a written undertaking over her actions.

He revealed that his wife is after his life because  of the court marriage he had with her, believing that after his death, she will stand as claimant to his property to which she has repeatedly stated in almost every of her squabbles or misunderstandings with him.

The SOS to the police DPO and copied to family members reads:

"' My wife threats and often boasted to murder me is terribly unbecoming therefore if anything happens to me, she should be held responsible''

Opukeme told this news house that he has consulted his lawyer to file a formal divorce suit to be separated from his estranged and extremely violent and toxic wife.

He said he had other genuine grounds to divorce his estranged wife apart from the threat to life. That she had also deprived him of his congugal rights for over a year even while living under the same roof thereby suspecting unfaithfulness on her part just as all marriage understanding is totally non-existent for over the same time duration. He is begging his estranged wife not to cut his life short over his little property just because he is a calm and peaceful man who abhors violence against women generally and an advocate against such. That he may give her the property to start a new life in rented apartment with another calm and cool-headed woman that will give him peace if need be.

He urgently pleads with the police to save him from the criminal and life threatening violence intermitantly visited on him by his rigidly volitile and highly temperamental wife before she eventually takes his life.

" Since last week when he had a misunderstanding with her where he escaped one of his attacks that attracted the local vigilante to intervene and arrested her for extreme violence by destroying his house glass windows and water taps. She was detained in about 8 hours and released same day. Since then, she issued verbal threat to take his life. She had abandoned her three children, with the last one two years baby boy, disappeared to an unknown location till this moment of this publication," the statement added.

Kingship: You Are Not Egbema Pere-Elect- Group Tells Napoleon Egin

Warri _____ A group under the aegis of Egbema Accountability Front, EAF has told Barr Napoleon Egin to stop parading himself as the Pere-Elect- in the Kingdom, stressing that he had never been selected nor elected by members of the kingdom as king designate.

This was made available to newsmen on Friday in Sapele through a Press Statement jointly signed by the group's President and Secretary, Mr Lucky Thompson and Mr Perewei Finite respectively. 

While reacting to the recent statement posted by Barr Napoleon Egin alleging that some persons invaded Ajakurama community with guns and brute forces to elect a parallel king, the group said there was no time Ajakurama was invaded with guns and brute forces.

Mr lucky Thompson warned that the kingdom would no longer take further insults and abuses on the elders, chiefs and other illustrious sons of the kingdom, maintaining that Egbema kingdom had taken position and had chosen who would lead them.

According to the Statement, read below:

"It has come to a time when silence is no longer golden, this we the Egbema Accountability Front, has come to realize. Having watched in the last few weeks the  macabre dance of one  Barrister Napoleon Egin parading himself as Egbema kingdom Agadagba-Elect, with the backing of some disgruntled elements who are out to cause anarchy, division and further plunge our people into another era of confusion. 

"Napoleon Egin and his gang of rabble rousers will not be allow to achieve this sinister plan that is nothing but a CORE detriment to progress, well-being and peace of our kingdom. 

Every society has rules that binds it, just the way ethnic groups have culture and tradition that guide its way and life. 

" Egbema kingdom can't be an exception. For a Pere  to emerge, the gazette which is the authority when it comes to kingship issues, expressly stated how such individuals will come through.

Napoleon Egin does not meet the criterias of the gazette, yet in his and cohorts desperation for aggrandizement, they want to bend the rules and cut corner for selfish reasons.

" Egbema Accountability Front, has critical stakeholders who believe firmly in the ONENESS and progress of our DEAR home land, we say enough is enough of Napoleon and his gang destructive voyage. 

We find his watery, nebulous and caricature publication dated 16/11/2022 in which  various derogatory languages were used to described genuine process thoroughly followed by Regency Council led by Chief Johnbull Adaun that gave birth to Ambassador Meshach Eseyortiegha Ubabirasi, Agadagba - Elect. 

" We find those languages to be very distasteful, disrespectful, belly aching, diversionary and attempt to paint the kingdom as group of lawless people who take pride in violence.     

Let Napoleon and his gang be warned that we will not take further insults and abuse on the elders, chiefs and other illustrious sons of the kingdom because Egbema has taken position and chosen who will lead, which we expect every sons and daughters of the kingdom to support fully", the statement added.

Aladja/Ogbe-ljoh Crisis: No Peace No Campaign in WSW LGA, Group Tell Okowa

...... Says Okowa can't tackle insecurity in Nigeria since he cannot settle Ogbe-ijoh/Aladja communal crisis 

Warri _____ The Independent Grassroot Liberators (IGL), a political oriented pressure group with over one thousand members with permanent voters card (PVC) in Warri South-West LGA has asked the Executive Governor of Delta State, His Excellency, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa to convince the people of Warri South West Local Government Area in Delta State and Nigeria at large that he can tackle insecurity in Nigeria if given the mattle of leadership as Vice President by settling Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja communual crisis, adding that he will not get their support and votes come 2023 general elections if he fails to end the dispute.

The statement was made on Friday at Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom, the headquarters of Warri South West LGA during a peaceful protest by various youth leaders across riverine communities, warned that Gov. Okowa and the various PDP Candidates should not dare to take their campaign to Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom if the state government cannot end the Aladja/Ogbe-ljoh communal crisis that have claimed so many lives of their loved ones over the years.

Addressing the press shortly after the peaceful protest, the National Coordinator of the group, Hon. Felix Yerinbowei Company noted that, if Governor Okowa, the Executive Governor of Delta State refuse to settle the land dispute between Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja to ensure permanent peace, he should know that there will be no campaign in WSW LGA headquarters Ogbe-ljoh and IGL will never give him and his gubernatorial candidate support and votes come 2023 general elections.

Hon. Felix Yerinbowei Company who is the current Councillor Representing the good people of Ijansa/Ijelejele Ward 13 in Warri South West LGA and the National Co-ordinator of IGL made the statement to notify His Excellency Sen. Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, political parties and the entire public to beware that, the Independent Grassroot Liberators, IGL will not allow any form of campaign in Warri South West particularly Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom if there is no lasting solution to the land dispute between Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja communities.

He asserted that if Government workers and others cannot use the access road to Ogbe-ljoh because of troublesome Aladja community people, a government road that belongs to everybody can't be used by anyone because of this dream killing epidemics Aladja people and the Government or the governor is doing nothing about it, then he or the government should know that the road and entire territory is also not safe for any kind of campaign. So there will be no campaign until there's permanent peace restored.

In his reaction, Amb. Engr. Okosu Smart added that campaigning in the headquarters of Warri South West is unnecessary and of no meaning for now until the necessary things be done by Political leaders and Sen. Dr. Okowa.

Smart Okosu said Dr. Okowa hasn't meet up to his campaign promises from his first to second terms, and now planning again to crown the next governor of Delta State without fulfilling his campaign promises to settle the age-long communal crisis between this two Communities will not work.

While Comrade Stevenson Numah, former Youth President of Ogbe-ijoh Warri Kingdom and the National spokesman of IGL added that, the Ogbe-ijoh Political leaders should see reasons with the Independent Grassroot Liberators (IGL) and the entire Youths.

He said it is high time our leaders should stop romancing with the government to the detriment of the grassroot people and the entire kingdom, and that IGL have made up their minds to stop any political campaign activities in this critical time without proffering a lasting solution to end the crisis.

Also adding his voice to the group, the National Grand Patron of IGL, Comrd Amb. Mamamu Bene Youkore who double as the National President of Niger Delta Youth Council worldwide urged the Governor of Delta State and Vice Presidential Candidate to listen to the voice of the masses of Warri South West people and do the needful to avoid distractions of campaign activities in the forthcoming general elections come 2023.

He noted that due to the endless communal crisis, there is no social infrastructural development in Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom, thereby making life difficult for the people to live.

He added that Gov. Okowa should take drastic action to use the disputed land to mount Army Base so as to put an end to the argument of who is the true owner of the land between the two communities.

Others who speaks in similar vain at the protest includes the youth president of Ogbe-ljoh Warri Kingdom, Comrade Kenneth Ebikoro, Comrade Ebi Joe and Miss Oromoni bitterly called on Okowa PDP led Delta state government to immediately proffer a lasting solution between the two communities because they can no longer be patience seeing their prospective future leaders dieing untimely as result of the barbaric killings between Ogbe-ljoh and Aladja.

FG Plans Mass Release Of Prisoners, Writes State Governors

FG Plans Mass Release Of Prisoners, Writes State Governors

Abuja ____The government of President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the Nigerian Governors Forum to request a meeting to decongest jails across the country.

According to his Media Adviser, Sola Fasure, the letter was written by Rauf Aregbesola, Minister of Interior.

Aregbesola announced that he would meet with state governors in exactly one month to agree on the mass release of at least 30% of inmates from penitentiary facilities across the country.

The minister stated that the interface was required because more than 90% of the inmates were being imprisoned for violating various state laws, stressing that more than 70% of the 75, 635 inmates were now awaiting trial.

He said that the number of federal offenders in the system was significantly less than 10%, and that the vast majority of individuals in detention had broken state laws.

According to Aregbesola, they were thus kept under the legal authority of their respective states.

The minister went on to say that decongesting the nation’s 253 detention facilities was required because some of the detainees had no justification to be in custody.

However, when asked about the minister’s actions, Fasure stated, “The minister has written to the Governors Forum, but he has not met with them since they will have to communicate with him and provide him a date.”

“He wrote to them with the request that he wants to meet with them, but he is yet to get a response. In other words, the meeting has not been held.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Government reported on Tuesday that over 12,000 inmates were freed from various correctional facilities across the country in the last six years as part of the jail decongestion policy.

Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, addressed this to members of the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, and Legal Matters during the committee’s 2023 budget defense session.

" Ijaw means truth, and because of that, we believe in the senatorial rotational arrangement in the party, and as a result of that, we rendered financial, moral, physical and spiritual support to the Anioma people in 2015 despite our ljaw illustrious sons were equally vying for the same Governorship position in 2015.

" Unfortunately, despite the massive support given to the current governor, His. Excellency, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, who is the sole beneficiary of the Anioma Peoples Agenda, there is no concrete legacy infrastructural development project in ljaw land.

" Educationally in the state, the Delta ljaw people are lacking behind in terms of higher institution. And Gov. Okowa recently upgraded over three higher institutions across the state, but no single one was upgraded in ljaw land. 

" Where'as there are few schools in ljaw land that is begging for upgrade but no attention was given by the Okowa led government. 

" The most painful part was that, since Okowa assume office in 2015 to date for over the past seven years, there is no single project the Okowa led government has executed or commissioned in Bomadi Local Government Area of the state.

" The only legacy project in ljaw land the Okowa led administration is executing for the past seven years was the Ayakoromo bridge. But unfortunately, he has terminated the project in the guise of re-awarding it to another company without matching his words with action.

" As we speak today, there is no sign of the Okowa led administration readiness to complete the all important Ayakoromo bridge in Burutu LGA that will connect all the riverine communities to urban city in the state.

" Then in Patani LGA, the very important road linking Bomadi, Odorobu, Odophori, Bulu Angiama, Toru-Angiama, Bulu Apelebiri and Toru-Apelebiri down to Patani main Town was also abandoned by Gov. Okowa led administration for no genuine reason.

" Though, to say the truth, the 2023 Delta State PDP Governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori was a good candidate for the masses but his boss, Gov. Okowa's maltreatment to the ljaw people as well as other critical party stalwarts is the only challenge he have to contend with.

" The above highlighted projects is a clear fact on ground that we the ljaws in Delta state have decided not to support Gov. Okowa Vice Presidential ambition, and his governorship candidate in the forthcoming 2023 general elections", Yusuf Eregbene asserted.

However, the Delta ljaw Peoples Mandate Youth Wing shall embark on Ten thousand (10, 000) youth march at Bomadi main Town on the 12th of December, 2022 in order to publicly declare our position before the world, the statement added.
