Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has sustained the fight against Gender Based Violence (GBV) in the country.

Barely two days after his own daughter, Salma Sonko, was assaulted by her boyfriend, the former county boss has stepped up to lead a campaign against domestic violence.

On Tuesday, November 18, Sonko received a distress call from a Mombasa-based woman asking for help after her sister was assaulted by her boyfriend, a renowned boxer in the Coastal city.

Sonko asked to speak to the victim, who identified herself as Zuhura.

She claimed her boyfriend stormed into their rented house at around 10 pm and started assaulting her over KSh 16k he lent her in 2022.

“He banged the door and entered the house because I had not locked it. He demanded KSh 16k that he lent me in 2022. I promised to pay him the following day and offered to surrender some of my household to him if I failed to clear the whole amount…I even told him to take everything apart from the bed,” narrated Zuhura.

The boyfriend did not take any of her offers; he proceeded to assault her and eject her from the house, where she said they shared rent expenses.

She reported the matter to the Bamburi Police Station. According to a police officer who spoke with Sonko on the phone, Zuhura was forced out of her house unprepared and arrived at the station partially dressed.

Zuhura claimed she had been assaulted before in February 2023, but they reconciled even after reporting the incident and getting an OB.

“He doesn’t want her to work, yet she is the one who pays bills and feeds him. He has nothing, so Zuhura has to work to provide for him,” said Zuhura’s sister.

She claimed the boyfriend, who relocated to Mombasa from an Arab nation, has a habit of assaulting her sister whenever he gets drunk.

“He gets drunk and turns violent. Zuhura has had enough and wants him to leave. He has assaulted her not once, not twice. This is the third OB we are recording against him,” she said.

Sonko advised the woman to seek treatment and fill out a P3 form to pave the way for police arrest and investigation.

“I will pay for your treatment if you can’t afford it. Take the P3 form, fill it out and return it to the police for action. I will also refund the money you owe him. I’m sending it now, but ensure you have filled out the P3 form. We want that man to be arrested now,” said Sonko.

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.
