Anambra police arrests suspected fake madman cultivating marijuana farm in Awka

 

The Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 43-year old man, Patrick Ojele, who pretended to be mentally unstable while allegedly secretly cultivating a marijuana farm in Awka for over two years. 

A statement from SP Tochukwu Ikenga, spokesperson of the command, said the police operatives attached to the Operations Department, Awka, nabbed the suspect on 17th September 2025 during a routine patrol along the Awka–Enugu Expressway near Ngozika Estate. He later led the team to the hidden farm, where large quantities of weeds suspected to be cannabis sativa were recovered.

Ikenga mentioned that the state Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, noted that the arrest reflects the Command’s renewed strategy of cutting off criminal supplies by targeting drug dealers who embolden cultists and violent offenders. 

He added that the CP has directed that the suspect should be handed over to the Special Anti-Cultism Squad (SPACS), Enugwu-Ukwu, for discreet investigation to trace his buyers and dismantle the wider distribution network.

2027: PDP says more aspirants eyeing Presidential ticket beyond Goodluck Jonathan, Peter Obi, Seyi Makinde

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed that several aspirants are quietly positioning themselves for its 2027 presidential ticket, beyond former President Goodluck Jonathan, former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde.

PDP Deputy National Legal Adviser, Barrister Okechukwu Osuoha, revealed this on Sunday, September 14 that the party is currently engaged in intense internal negotiations and consultations to determine who will eventually emerge as its flagbearer.

His remarks followed comments by Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro, who listed Jonathan, Obi, and Makinde among those being considered. Moro also noted that other qualified contenders from the South could still enter the race as discussions progress.

“Those names you mentioned are still speculations. Right now, what is paramount in the party is negotiations and discussions, with people trying to identify who will be the most credible candidate,” Osuoha said.

He added that while public attention is focused on the three figures, other potential aspirants from across the South are already in private talks with stakeholders.

According to him, the PDP’s immediate priority is to hold its national convention to elect new officers who will lead the party for the next four years. After the convention, the party will move to streamline the list of presidential aspirants ahead of the primaries.

“It is during that period that we will narrow it down to those who are going to contest. The party will want to conduct a free and fair primary to maintain transparency and prove that when we talk about democracy, we live by it,” he said.

Osuoha explained that the PDP’s zoning arrangement will guide the process, noting that the presidency has been zoned to the South.

“Whoever will contest must come from the South-West, South-East, or South-South,” he stated, stressing that regional balance and party unity would be key considerations. 

Zookeeper, 58, e@ten alive by pack of lions in front of tourists after stepping out of truck at safari park

A zookeeper was dragged to the ground and e@ten alive by a pride of lions in Thailand. 

The attack happened at Safari World Bangkok when 58-year-old Jian Rangkharasamee stepped out of his jeep in the lion enclosure. 

Witnesses said a lion crept up from behind before pouncing on him. Several other lions then quickly joined in to tear at his flesh. 

Visitors honked their car horns and shouted in an attempt to scare off the lions, but the animals mauled Rangkharasamee to de@th as tourists looked on in horror. 

Professor Tavatchai Kanchanarin, doctor at a leading hospital, saw the tragedy unfold at around 11am on Wednesday. 

He said: "The lion attacked the zookeeper while he was getting out of his car. 

"It was about 10 metres away, then slowly approached and grabbed the zookeeper from behind, dragging him to the ground and biting him. 

"Three or four other lions then joined in with biting the zookeeper. 

"Many people witnessed the incident but didn't know how to help. They honked their own car horns and shouted for help." 

He added the ordeal lasted around 15 minutes before staff managed to reach the victim. 

Rangkharasamee, a veteran keeper who had worked with lions for nearly 30 years, was rushed to Intrarat Hospital but was pronounced de@d on arrival, according to Nation Thailand. 

Police believe the zookeeper broke strict safety protocols by leaving his vehicle. 

The drive-through safari zone has a no-exit policy for both staff and visitors, People reported. 

Pol Col Niruchphon Yothamat of Khannayao Police Station said: “Normally, he would stay in the vehicle, and the lion would move away once the engine was started, but in this case, the vehicle's door was still open.” 

A fellow keeper, Phanom Sitsaeng, was the first to try to help after hearing horns blaring, but the lions had already inflicted fatal injuries. 

The Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) has since ordered the temporary closure of the safari zone while safety checks are carried out. 

“The incident will be further investigated to determine what happened,” said DNP director-general Atthapol Charoenchansa. 

A senior Safari World official told local media all 32 lions at the park are licensed, insisting: “We have rules and we repeat them often as we work with dangerous animals.” 

He described Rangkharasamee as “a kind man”.

Edwin Wiek of Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand said: “This incident should serve as a stark reminder that these animals, even when raised by humans from birth, still pose a serious threat to human life that can be triggered without warning.”

Suspect in Charlie Kirk murder identified as 22-year-old Tyler Robinson

The suspect in the murder of American right-wing activist Charlie Kirk has been identified as Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old from Utah.

The New York Post reported Robinson’s identity, while CNN revealed that he confessed to his father about shooting and killing Kirk during an event at the University of Utah. His father then contacted authorities and turned him in.

Robinson, described by neighbors as a quiet and withdrawn young man, had no significant prior criminal record. Sources say he had been struggling with personal issues, and investigators are now working to determine whether the shooting was politically motivated or linked to a personal grievance.

Charlie Kirk, 31, was the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative youth organization that grew into one of the most prominent right-wing activist groups in America. Known for his outspoken views on college campuses, Kirk was scheduled to appear at the University of Utah as part of his “American Comeback Tour” when the fatal shooting occurred.

The murder has sparked nationwide reactions, with political figures and activists from across the spectrum condemning the violence. Authorities have stated that Robinson is cooperating with investigators following his father’s decision to alert police.

Robinson is expected to face formal charges in the coming days, as officials continue to piece together the motive behind the attack.

Resident doctors begin Nationwide strike over government's failure to meet their demands

The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has commenced a nationwide strike today Friday, September 12, following the failure of the federal government to meet its minimum demands within the 24-hour ultimatum issued by the association on Wednesday, September 10. 

NARD President, Dr. Osundara Tope Zenith, confirmed that the industrial action was activated after the expiration of the deadline, which followed an Extraordinary National Executive Council (E-NEC) meeting held virtually on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

The E-NEC, which had in attendance representatives from federal, state, and private tertiary health institutions across the country, reviewed the three-week ultimatum earlier given in July and its subsequent 10-day extension.

The doctors expressed disappointment that despite repeated engagements with relevant stakeholders, critical issues affecting their welfare remained unresolved.

Among the grievances listed by NARD were the non-payment of the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund (MRTF) to several resident doctors, the failure to settle five-month arrears from the 25%/35% CONMESS review, unpaid 2024 accoutrement allowance, and other outstanding salary arrears.

The doctors also condemned the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) for downgrading the membership certificates of the West African Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, as well as the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria (NPMCN) for its delay in issuing certificates to qualified candidates.

In addition, the E-NEC decried the Oyo State Government’s poor handling of welfare issues affecting doctors at LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Ogbomosho, who have been on indefinite strike, and criticised state governments that have failed to disburse MRTF to resident doctors under their employment.

As part of its resolutions, NARD demanded the immediate release of the 2025 MRTF, payment of all outstanding arrears, restoration of recognition for postgraduate membership certificates, and urgent intervention by state governments to address welfare challenges.

Dr. Osundara noted that the strike became inevitable after the government failed to demonstrate good faith by meeting the minimum demands within the specified 24 hours.

Hospitals across the country are expected to be affected by the industrial action, raising fresh concerns about access to healthcare for Nigerians who depend on public health institutions.

Ghana agrees to accept Nigerians, other West Africans deported from US

Ghana has started accepting West African nationals deported from the United States, President John Dramani Mahama said on Wednesday, September 10. 

According to Reuters, Mahama disclosed that a first batch of 14 deportees, made up of Nigerians, a Gambian and others, had already arrived in Accra, with the Ghanaian authorities facilitating their return to their respective countries. 

“We were approached by the US to accept third-party nationals who were being removed from the US, and we agreed with them that West African nationals were acceptable because all our fellow West Africans don’t need a visa to come to our country,” he said. 

He justified the decision by saying West Africans “don’t need a visa anyway” to come to Ghana. 

The arrangement comes after Washington’s intensified deportation drive under President Donald Trump, who has pushed for removals to “third countries” as part of his hardline immigration policy. 

Trump has previously overseen deportations of migrants to Eswatini, South Sudan and Rwanda despite safety concerns raised by rights groups.
Nigeria, however, has rejected similar overtures from Washington. 

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, said in July that the Federal Government would not accept deportees from outside Nigeria, citing national security and economic concerns.
