Gunmen operating in Anambra State on Tuesday night shot dead an unidentified man, abducting one more from his vehicle.

The two men were attacked in Ifitedunu community, Dunukofia Local Government Area, while travelling in a Nissan SUV with Lagos registration number; SMK 439 HJ.

This happened the same day that the state governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo announced total war against criminals in the state while also giving amnesty to repentant criminals.

A viral video circulating on social media showed the body of the slain man in the car, while the driver who was travelling with him was abducted by the criminals.

Members of the Ifitedunu community vigilante who rushed to the scene said the incident happened around 8pm. A voice in the video said the men were chased from a neighbouring community to Ifitedunu by men driving an ash-coloured Lexus Jeep.

They said items in the car showed that the men were returning for Christmas while calling on anyone who knew the vehicle or the slain occupants to come for them.

As of the time of filling this report, the Anambra State Police Command was yet to react to the incident.

A Nigerian man has sparked reactions online after abandoning date with a lady because she picked Davido as her favorite artist over Wizkid.

The incident, which surfaced on the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter), was shared through an anonymous post.

According to the man, during their first date, he decided to ask the lady a series of questions to get to know her better.

One of the questions was to choose her favorite artist between Davido and Wizkid.

The lady reportedly answered, “30BG or nothing,” signaling her support for Davido. Upset by her choice, the man walked out of the date, leaving her to handle the bills.

He sarcastically remarked that Davido should come and clear the bills.

In his words: “Would you imagine? I took this girl on a first date, so we were getting to know each other. I then asked her to choose between Wizkid or Davido. She said 30BG or nothing. I angrily left her there. Davido will come and clear the bills.”

The post quickly went viral, leaving many social media users shocked and amused.

The comment section was flooded with reactions as people shared their opinions on the man’s actions.

See some reactions below:

@PrettyMfon: “😂🤣😂. 30BG all the way!!! You should have laughed it off and let her know your preference. Next time, don’t walk away. You can ask her what she likes about Davido. Please call her and apologize. Thank you.”

@IrekefeT: “Please in whatever you do, don’t ever involve politics, sports, entertainment, religion and tribe into your marriage, relationship or daily life. Don’t get emotional about the above mentioned things for your own good.”

@phveektordrayne: “I’m happy for the babe. Imagine if she had chosen Wizkid, is this the rubbish she would have been dating and be saying she has a man? No offense to Wizkid FC but a man doing this just shows immaturity. Even if he was 30BG, this is so condescending of an adult.”

@lilyjoelily: “She even answered you and that’s both of you guys cup of tea because why would anyone ask me such question to start with. Mtchewwwwwwww.”

@IrekefeT: “This was how some people stop talking to their friends, parents and partners during 2023 election because of political differences, while the politicians they’re fighting for are friends and colleagues in real life..”

@Banksj44444: “I’m a wizkid fan but d guy na mumu,everyone has choices, just like me,I’m a Barca fan and my babe is a Liverpool fan.Everywhere good.”

The Ogun State Police Command said it has arrested a suspected ritualist, identified as Monday Ogunniyi, for the abduction of one Regina Oladeyo in the Oja Odan area of the state.

The suspect, a resident of the Okegbala area in Oja Odan, was arrested following a complaint filed by one Oladeyo Idowu.

The police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, told DAILY POST on Tuesday that, upon receiving the information, officers of the command swung into action and found the victim at the residence of the suspect.

According to the spokesperson, Ogunniyi, during interrogation, confessed to the abduction and alleged that he and the complainant were involved in rituals using human remains.

Odutola said: “On December 16, 2024, at about 4:30 pm, a man named Oladeyo Idowu from School 4 Area, Oja Odan, came to the police station to report a case of abduction involving Monday Ogunniyi, who resides in the Okegbala area of Oja Odan.

“During questioning, Monday Ogunniyi confessed to the abduction but also claimed that he and the complainant were involved in rituals using human remains.”

She noted that, following the revelation, a team of detectives visited the site, where they discovered a dried human skeleton draped in female clothing near a river in the Afige area of Oja Odan.

Odutola added that the suspect provided a confession implicating Oladeyo Idowu regarding the storage and dismemberment of the corpse.

She, however, noted that the case would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Eleweran for further investigation and likely prosecution.
