By Francesca Hangeior
The Chief Executive Officer of Educare – an online learning platform, Alex Onyia, has disclosed how his friend, Kene Nnadi, narrowly escaped death.
Onyia, known for sponsoring the tutorials of some candidates of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, shared the news via his X handle on Tuesday evening.
Tweeting as #winexviv, Onyia noted that some assailants wanted to kill his friend but the attempt didn’t claim his life.
He stated that 16 bullets had been removed from the victim’s body with three more remaining.
Onyia added that his friend, Nnadi, was rejected by hospitals in Nigeria. He, however, didn’t disclose the hospitals or their locations.
“16 extra bullets removed from his body and three remaining. They wanted to kill my friend Kene but God said no. All hospitals rejected him and asked for a police report before treating him.
“We managed to get one that attended to him until we flew him to London. Today, we thank God,” the tweet read.
Findings by our correspondent revealed that the victim, with full name, Fredrick Kenechi Nnadi, is a lawyer and a member of the People’s Democratic Party who contested as a candidate for the Enugu North Constituency in the Enugu State House of Assembly in 2018.
In 2022, Nnadi, again, contested for the Enugu North and South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
However, some users on X.com, bemoaned the lack of care for human life at some Nigerian hospitals, while some were thankful that the lawyer cum politician was alive.
In late October 2023 that the Inspector-General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, directed the compulsory treatment of gunshot victims without police report.
This was in line with the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017, according to the directive of the police boss.
However, the tweeps expressed dismay at how some hospitals have failed to comply with the police IG’s directive.
An X user, That Ajulu tweeting as #ajulu_ asked, “I need help understanding this police report rule. Even if they suspect foul play, is it not better for them to call the police to the hospital while they treat the person.?”
Onyia stated, “These people are non-challant. I honestly don’t understand the reason behind police reports on gunshot wounds. And there was a new rule passed by the Senate under Saraki that gunshot victims should be attended to but these hospitals are ignorant of it.”
A tweep, Airdrop global (Storm) tweeting as #Airdropglobal5, wondered, “19 bullets and he’s still alive ? He’s a lucky man.”
A user on X, Oluwashola, tweeting as #Sholexx_ opined, “These are pellets from pump action cartridges. They’re not bullets. Nobody will survive 19 bullet wounds on the body. The body can’t sustain such a devastating injury. A cartridge carries approximately 12 pellets. He was shot twice. Glad he’s alive and doing fine.”

Finally, Senator Shehu Sani Dumps PDP For APC

By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A former lawmaker who represented Kaduna Central at the 8th Assembly, Shehu Sani, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, welcomed Sani alongside 49 other political stalwarts who defected to the APC at the Murtala Square at a mega rally held on Saturday.
Sani stated that the defectors would enjoy the same rights and privileges as other party members, stressing there was no difference between a party member who joined it recently and those who were in APC ten years ago.
Sani urged the decampees to notify their supporters of the readiness of APC to accept them into the party as their doors were still open to receive more defectors.
According to him, the popularity and acceptability of APC is because of its just leadership at both the state and federal levels.
He said: “Someone who joined APC today and the one who has been a foundation member 10 years ago, they are of the same status. They will enjoy the same rights and privileges.
“Politics is different from governance. We will be fair to all, whether or not they voted for us, because that is the oath of office that we swore to uphold as leaders.”
Governor Sani, who argued that leaders were not infallible and were bound to make mistakes like anyone, pleaded with the leaders to always point out their mistakes to correct them.
The Governor reminded the APC faithful that the leaders would be held accountable hereafter regarding how they led the people God entrusted to them.
Prominent amongst those who decamped to APC were former Governor of the state, Alhaji Muktar Ramalan-Yero, Sen. Shehu Sani, Sen. Suleiman Hunkuyi, the gubernatorial candidate of NNPP in the 2023 General Elections, also former gubernatorial candidate, Alhaji Sani Sha’aban, Sen. Danjuma Laah who represented Zone three at the Senate on the platform of PDP, Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha, former National Organising Secretary of PDP and Amb. Sule Buba, former Nigeria’s Envoy to South Korea.

Gates of Hell to Open in Gaza: Netanyahu cautions Hamas

By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to unleash devastating consequences on Gaza if Hamas fails to return all hostages, warning that the “gates of hell” will open if the militant group does not comply.
In a joint statement with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel and the US have a shared strategy to tackle the Palestinian militants, and that Hamas’s military capability and political rule in Gaza will be eliminated. The Israeli Prime Minister also expressed his commitment to bringing all hostages home and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel.
Netanyahu’s comments come as US President Donald Trump has proposed a bold and controversial plan for Gaza’s future, suggesting that the US take over the territory and transform it into a “Riviera of the Middle East”.
First priority for Trump is to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack
The plan, which involves resettling Gaza’s two million Palestinian residents in other countries, has sparked widespread outrage and criticism. Rubio, however, defended Trump’s proposal, saying that it represents a bold and courageous vision for Gaza’s future, one that breaks away from the “tired ideas of the past”.
The US Secretary of State emphasized that Hamas cannot continue to operate as a military or government force, and that it must be eradicated. He also stressed that the first priority for Trump is to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack. With tensions escalating in the region, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold, but one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the consequences of inaction could be devastating.

By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
A group of civil society organizations under the aegis of Alliance for credible legislative conduct has carpeted Tigran Gambaryan, an American personnel of Binance for attempting to soil the integrity and great reputation of some Nigerian congressmen over unfounded bribery allegations
Top parliamentarians from the Nigerian House of Representatives which include, Ginger Onwusibe who is Chairman House Committee on Financial Crimes, Hon Phillip Agbese ,Deputy spokesperson and Hon Peter Akpanke , are beign spotted by the American for alleged sleaze.
According to the group, the American is attempting to use cheap blackmail to hound and payback the lawmakers after they investigated him for various financial infractions and misdeeds in Nigeria
“It is clear that Tigran Gambaryan having made solo attempts on behalf of Binance to commit huge financial crimes in Nigeria, and having failed miserably to have his way, which led to his investigation and ultimate incarceration, has now turned full circle to unleash a pound of flesh against patriotic Nigerian law makers,( who investigated him) which has now manifested in his fictional claims that he was asked to pay the sum of a $150 million bribe while he was in detention”, the group which is an affiliate of the United of the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council, stated
Alliance for Credible Legislative Conduct in a statement issued and signed by its President, Abdulrasheed Rufai, PhD and Secretary, Benson Alfred Akor, noted that Tigran was a drowning man who wants to drag credible Nigerian lawmakers along
They added that his case is a baffling orchestrated web of malice and a piece of garbage concocted against honourable members of House of Representatives, and as such should be disregarded by Nigerians.
*Below is the full text of the Press statement:*
“Our attention was drawn to the recent allegations of bribery made by Tigran Gambaryan, an American personnel of Binance against Hon. Ginger Onwusibe, Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Financial Crimes; Hon. Philip Agbese, Deputy Spokesperson, House of Representatives, and Hon. Peter Akpanke.
Having looked at the matter painstakingly and exhaustively, we discovered that Gambaryan, who was recently tried in Nigeria for financial crimes; held for months over allegations of money laundering and aiding criminal activities, and was released on humanitarian grounds, after the charges were dropped following U.S. government intervention, is indeed a despicable agent of malice.
It is clear that Tigran Gambaryan having made solo attempts on behalf of Binance to commit huge financial crimes in Nigeria, and having failed miserably to have his way, which led to his investigation and ultimate incarceration, has now turned full circle to unleash a pound of flesh against patriotic Nigerian law makers,( who investigated him) which has now manifested in his fictional claims that he was asked to pay the sum of a $150 million bribe while he was in detention.
Having dissected the position of both the Federal Government of Nigeria, and that of the House of Representatives about the unfortunate saga of Tigran Gambaryan and Binance, we as civil society organizations …… conclude, that what is playing out is a case of baffling orchestrated web of malice and a piece of garbage concocted against honourable members of House of Representatives.
In the light of the above, we hereby use this medium to tell Nigerian people never to fall for the desperate antics of a man already in the pit of disgrace looking for who to rob with his mud.
In condemning this insane, ridiculous and absurd development, it is very obvious that
Tigran Gambaryan is simply on a calculative mission to create unwarranted tension within the National Assembly, embarrass and disrespect the Federal Government of Nigeria. This we will not allow to happen”
