No fewer than 180 members of the House of Representatives have adopted a motion moved by the member representing Ikwuano/Umuahia federal constituency of Abia State, Hon. Obi Aguocha calling for the immediate release of the embattled leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, ABN TV reports.

The parliamentarians are comprised of the minority caucus led by a Rivers lawmaker, Hon. Kingsley Chinda.

Others include, Hon. Ali Isa the Minority Whip, Hon. Aliyu Madaki the Deputy Minority Leader and Hon. George Ozodinobi, the Deputy Minority Whip.

Hon Obi Aguocha who made the appeal to the caucus of the 10th House of Representatives on Monday urged his colleagues to take a definitive position on the ongoing discourse surrounding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and to explore a political solution to this pressing issue.

The minority caucus consists of all members from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – 115 seats, Labour Party (LP) – 35 seats, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) – 19 seats, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) – 5 seats, Social Democratic Party (SDP) – 2 seats, Young Progressives Party (YPP) – 2 seats, and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) – 2 seats

In his address, Hon Aguocha emphasized the importance of a united stance within the minority caucus, highlighting that the resolution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case is crucial for national peace, stability, and unity.

He called for immediate and strategic engagement with relevant stakeholders to advocate for a peaceful and political resolution to the matter, which has significant implications for the socio-political landscape of Nigeria.

Hon Aguocha underscored the potential benefits of addressing the situation through dialogue and reconciliation rather than a prolonged abuse of legal processes and confrontation.

He expressed his belief that a political solution could pave the way for enhanced national integration and the restoration of trust among various communities.

This is seen as a decisive stand by the opposition political parties on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the planned protest, insecurity, the dilapidated infrastructure, and the economy.

The adoption of the position on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the influential caucus comes on the heels of Hon. Aguocha’s recent visits to the former President Muhammadu Buhari.

It will be recalled that the Southeast Governors forum also joined in the call for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Hon Aguocha’s call to action by his colleagues serves as a reminder of the critical role that legislative bodies play in fostering peace and stability in the nation.

He remains committed to championing initiatives that promote justice, equity, and harmonious coexistence across Nigeria.

A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.

According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.

She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.

With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.

The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.

She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.

“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.

The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.

Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.

Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.

In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).

 

The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.

One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”

Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
