Nnewi-based native doctor, Mr. John Paul Ezenagu, widely known as “Mmou Mmili Afulu Anya,” has been paraded by the Anambra State Government for allegedly going against the Homeland Security Law, and was taken to his mansion in Nnewi for a thorough search and to give explanations regarding his operations.

Speaking during the parade, the Special Adviser to Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Community Security, Mr. Ken Emeakayi, emphasized that the native doctor, Ezenagu, allegedly lures young men and women by promising them quick wealth if they bathe in the stream behind his house, which is against the state’s Homeland Security Law, noting that he had earlier been cautioned over his activities but continued with the practice.

Mr. Emeakayi explained that after investigations, he would be handed over to the police for further investigation, after which he would face prosecution if found culpable.

The political feud in Anambra State has escalated as Nonye Soludo, wife of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, issued a 72-hour ultimatum to former senator and APC deputy governorship candidate, Uche Ekwunife, demanding a retraction and public apology over allegations of infidelity.

In a statement released on Saturday, Mrs Soludo dismissed the accusations as “wilful and malicious,” warning that legal action would follow if Mrs Ekwunife failed to recant.

“My lawyers have also been put on notice. I will still as a Christian give Uche a chance to repent and ensure restitution by recanting her wilful and malicious allegations within 72 hours and tendering an unreserved apology. Take note Uche that if you fail to do so, I will take every step necessary to ensure justice and restitution,” she declared.

The controversy began after a viral video surfaced showing Mrs Ekwunife alleging that Mrs Soludo had an affair with late Anambra governor, Chinwoke Mbadinuju, and questioning the paternity of her children. The remarks were widely seen as a counter-attack following Governor Soludo’s criticism of Ekwunife’s academic qualifications, particularly her claimed Ph.D.

Rejecting the claims, Mrs Soludo said she had never met the late Mbadinuju and reaffirmed her marital fidelity:

“In my 55 years on planet earth, I have known only one man, Chukwuma Soludo. I married him as a virgin, and my fidelity to him in 33 years of marriage and for life is ironclad.”

To further challenge her accuser, Mrs Soludo proposed that both families undergo DNA testing in three London hospitals, pledging to cover all expenses. She also dared Mrs Ekwunife to take an oath of fidelity before the Catholic Church’s Blessed Sacrament.

“I will swear with my children that in my 55 years on earth, I have known only one man — Chukwuma Soludo. On your part, you should also swear with your children,” she added.

The fiery exchange has added new tension to Anambra’s political space, drawing widespread public reactions as observers await whether Mrs Ekwunife will respond to the ultimatum or face potential legal consequences.

Anambra-based entrepreneur and popular TikTok personality, Ifesinachi Onyekere, widely known as “Fish Magnet”, has been murdered by unidentified gunmen following his abduction in Awka on Monday night.

According to eyewitness accounts, the assailants stormed Onyekere’s residence around 10:30 p.m. on July 29, shot him in the leg, and forced him into his Toyota Corolla before fleeing the scene.

While police and other security agencies have yet to release an official statement, multiple sources confirm that Onyekere’s lifeless body has been discovered. The exact location of where the body was found remains undisclosed for security reasons.

Onyekere, a prominent figure on social media, used his TikTok platform to promote catfish farming and export, gaining national attention for his entrepreneurial spirit and youth empowerment initiatives. His death marks a disturbing escalation in the spate of kidnappings and killings targeting business owners in the Southeast region.

In response to the tragedy, social media activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan, has announced plans to hold a candlelight vigil in Onyekere’s honor on August 4 in Anambra State.

“This is not just about Fish Magnet. It’s about every young Nigerian trying to survive and make an honest living,” VeryDarkMan said in a post.

The killing of Onyekere has sparked outrage on social media, with calls for increased government action on insecurity and protection of businesses.

This incident adds to the growing concerns over safety in Anambra and other parts of Nigeria, particularly as violent crimes continue to threaten local businesses and young innovators.
