***As victim recounts ordeal

By Austin Ojomah.

A young lady who simply identified herself asMiss Gloria has recounted how she escaped a bolt driver’s kidnapped plan during the late hours on Monday the 19th of August along airport road junction, life camp, sustaining some bruises on her body.

Speaking to one of our correspondents at Naijablitznews.com whom she related the situation to, “na God save me ooo” she exclaim. They would have succeeded, but God did not allow it.

She narrated how she went to visit a friend in the day time using keke napep as it is fondly called to her friend’s place and when she was about to go during the late hours, the friend decided to book a bolt for her for safety and comfort.

She narrated how her friend followed her to a junction because he wanted to purchase something for the house and immediately he dropped, her friend told her the amount to pay the bolt man which was indicated in the app.

After some distance, she noticed the bolt driver was taking a different route from the one leading to her house, she then questioned the bolt driver about it, in which he gave an excuse of the road been bad and he wants to follow a short-cut that is more better, she refused and told the bolt man to follow the app which leads to her place.

She soon noticed that she forgot one of her phones in her friend’s place and when she tried to make a call, the bolt driver started dragging her phone with her and tried to shut her up.

In the process of dragging, her friend kept calling her and the bolt driver but the bolt driver did not pick up neither did he allowed Miss Gloria to pick her calls. According to her, her friend noticed that the bolt driver was moving to a wrong direction and ended the ride when he was trying to reach out to them

Soon she later managed to unlock her door and jumped out of the moving car along a bush path the bolt driver stopped and chased after her, catching up with her and dragging her back to the car. She screamed for help but no one could hear her, the bolt driver tried to lay her unconscious by hitting and nodding her on her fore-head for her to pass out.

After much effort, some one came out from no where to interrupt the kidnap activity as he kept asking what was going on. The bolt driver tried to twist the whole thing by saying that “she (Miss Gloria) refused to pay him for his service rendered and that he was trying to get his money from her. During this process, she lay free of the bolt driver’s clutch and ran as fast as her heels can carry her to the main road with out looking back cause she don’t know if the other man might be working with the bolt man. She was able to get a biker who took her home safely without minding the cost.

As of today, she has reported the matter to the police, FRSC and bolt app company with the man’s phone number and car plate number.

We are equally calling on the police investigation department, FRSC and bolt to take this matter up seriously for the safety of it’s citizens and any other person not to fall into victim.

Enugu State Government has hailed the Government of the Republic of Finland for the arrest of the Finland-based leader of the criminal gang, Autopilots, Simon Ekpa, describing him as a common criminal, con man, and terrorist, who has no interest of Igbo people at heart.

The government also described Ekpa as a murderer and fraudster, who delights in killing his people and living large off their misery, saying that Enugu State was ready and willing to provide evidence of Ekpa-sponsored atrocities against Ndigbo to aid his trial and conviction, whether in Finland or Nigeria.

This was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, on Friday.

“The Enugu State Government welcomes the arrest of the Finland-based terrorist, Simon Ekpa.

“His arrest and trial will no doubt go a long way in strengthening peace, security, and stability in all parts of the South East.

“This arrest is in line with the demand of Governor Peter Mbah Administration, which has repeatedly made it known that Ekpa is a megalomaniac, common criminal, murderer, and fraudster, who takes joy in feeding fat on the manipulated emotions of Ndigbo and inflicting misery on the South East region.

“Ekpa has for long, and unfortunately from Finland, made a living by creating a siege climate and mentality in the South East, destroying lives, property, and the Igbo trademark of entrepreneurship and hard work. He thrives on manipulating, exploiting, and extorting the people on the pretext of fighting for their interest and for the restoration of Biafra,” the government said.

“Men Need To Submit Too”, says Pastor Olumide, Quotes Bible Passage To Back His Statement (Video)

A pastor has stated that submission in a marriage is not a requirement for women alone.

Pastor Olumide Emmanuel explained that a Christian marriage is not based on “culture” but on the teachings of the kingdom and as a result, men should respect their wives’ opinions and superior judgment and submit when appropriate.

He said: “Men, I will tell you for free, respect a woman’s sensitivity if you want to do well in life.

“Ask any married man that will be honest with you, there are things that if we did not listen to our wife we’d be in trouble by now. And there are times that we didn’t listen, we enter trouble.

“So if you’re a young person now, don’t let Africa kill you. ‘I’m a man of this house, I’m a man of this house, you can’t tell me what to do’. Forget that nonsense.

“Marriage is not an African culture, it’s a kingdom culture and in the kingdom the bible says, submitting yourself one to another. Mutual submission is a kingdom agenda for the marriage.

“So there are times you need to submit to your wife. Submit to your woman.”
