  • Daudi Wilbadi’s family shared details of what transpired and how they were informed of his tragic demise
  • Police arrived at the scene of the incident and have since arrested eight people in connection with Daudi’s death

A family is grief-stricken following the tragic death of their son and brother, Daudi Wilbadi.

Daudi was allegedly killed by a mob while out having drinks with his friends, leaving his family devastated.

The incident occurred around 7 pm in Kilimanjaro, when Daudi got into an argument over money.

Why did mob attack Daudi?

In the heat of the altercation, he reportedly stabbed one man, Ishmael Abdul, in the stomach with a knife.

Ishmael, who survived the ordeal and is currently receiving treatment at a local hospital, is said to have tried to mediate between Daudi and another man, who were arguing over debts owed to each other.

Following the stabbing, locals at the scene attacked Daudi, seriously injuring him, which led to his death.

The young politician’s family expressed their grief, noting that he had a bright future ahead of him.

Daudi had been vying for a Member of Parliament seat under the CUF in Tanzania when his life was tragically cut short.

What did family say after politician’s death?

His sister, Anette Wilbrodi, said they received the tragic news that fateful evening, shattering their hopes.

“He was vying for an MP’s seat. He leaves behind a young wife and two children, one in Class Four and the other in Class One. We were just told he got involved in an argument and was attacked by locals,” she stated.

Anette said Daudi’s death has left a huge void in the family, as they never anticipated he would pass away so young, just as he was at the prime of his life.

“We are waiting for our relatives from Geita so we can begin burial plans, but we want to urge the police to bring all those responsible to justice,” she said.

One of his neighbours described him as a good man whose life was taken far too soon.

Police officers in Kilimanjaro responded to the crime scene and launched investigations into the matter.

Eight people have so far been arrested for taking the law into their own hands and attacking the young politician to his death.

Angela Okorie, the Nigerian actress, has reportedly been re-arrested over allegations that she refused to pay the lawyer who secured her bail from Suleja Prison.

Angela was re-arrested at the Suleja prison on Tuesday, immediately she was released on bail.

This came less than an hour after actor Stanley Ontop raised the alarm over an alleged plan to re-arrest the actress after release on Tuesday.

Speaking in a video on Instagram, actress Doris Ogala who said she is already on her way to the police station, stated that the actress was re-arrested by an unnamed Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, for refusing to pay the N5 million agreed fee to secure her bail.

Doris said; “You see, one thing is for someone to cut their clothes according to their size. Angela has been arrested again. As a matter of fact, I’m going to the police station now. You see, when Angela was arrested by Mercy, she called a friend of her or village person. I don’t know how they relate. To help her get a SAN.

“And the SAN charged them N5 million. I think the SAN was the one who even facilitated the bail and all that. Now when Angela knew that they have granted her bail according to the lady, Angela started saying that she didn’t ask her to get a SAN and she wasn’t going to pay the money, and meanwhile this lady has deposited.”

Recall that Angela, who was granted bail on Friday after her arrest by Mercy Johnson over alleged defamation, regained her freedom few minutes ago after perfecting her bail conditions.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State has warned that he has the power to revoke the land allocated to Onitsha Main Market and use it for public purposes, including building a school. According to Soludo, this action would be taken in the interest of the public and is backed by the Land Use Act.

The governor made this statement during a meeting with leaders of the Anambra State Markets Amalgamated Traders Association (ASMATA), emphasizing that the law empowers him to revoke market lands across the state for overriding public interest.

Soludo stated that the government could compensate original landowners and that affected parties could challenge the compensation amount in court, but not the revocation itself.

The governor’s warning comes amid tensions between the state government and market traders, with Soludo insisting on reopening the market despite a sit-at-home order imposed by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB).

The group insisted that the sit-at-home was a peaceful form of civil disobedience and denied claims that it amounted to economic sabotage or criminality.

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced a Biafra-wide solidarity lockdown scheduled for Monday, February 2, across the South-East, in protest against the closure of the Onitsha Main Market and to demand the immediate release of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement issued on Friday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the planned shutdown of economic and public activities in the region was a voluntary act of solidarity with traders in Onitsha, following the Anambra State government’s decision to shut the main market for one week.

The group also blasted Governor Chukwuma Soludo for threatening for further closures, revocation of land allocations, demolitions, and other sanctions against traders.

IPOB described the market closure as “economic warfare” against the people of the region, alleging that the action was intended to suppress continued observance of the Monday sit-at-home protest demanding Kanu’s release.

The group insisted that the sit-at-home was a peaceful form of civil disobedience and denied claims that it amounted to economic sabotage or criminality.

According to the statement, the solidarity lockdown is not an enforcement action but a collective response by residents angered by what IPOB called punitive measures against traders whose livelihoods depend on the Onitsha Main Market, widely regarded as one of the largest markets in Africa.

The group called on traders, transport operators, banks, schools, civil servants, and other sectors across Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi, and other parts of the former Eastern Region to remain indoors and suspend activities on the day of the protest.

IPOB reiterated its commitment to non-violence and urged supporters to remain law-abiding and avoid confrontations.

The group warned against what it described as possible “false flag operations” aimed at discrediting its cause.

It maintained that its agitation is focused on dialogue and a referendum on Biafran self-determination.

The group further accused the Anambra State governor of acting against the interests of traders and residents, insisting that any action against Onitsha traders amounted to an attack on all Biafrans.

 

Governor Soludo on Monday announced the temporary closure of the Onitsha Main Market for one week over traders’ continued observance of the Monday sit-at-home earlier ordered by IPOB.
