BREAKING: ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON ANAMBRA PDP GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE SIR JUDE EZENWAFOR — HON. PRINCE CHINEDU NSOFOR (KPAKPANDO NDIGBO) CONDEMNS DASTARDLY ACT
BY JOSEPH MONDAY
Anambra, Nigeria — Hon. Prince Chinedu Nsofor, frontline PDP senatorial aspirant in the August 16th Anambra South Senatorial District bye-election, has issued a strong condemnation of the recent assassination attempt on Ambassador Sir Jude Ezenwafor, the PDP governorship candidate in the forthcoming Anambra State gubernatorial election.
The attempted attack, which comes barely a week after Nsofor himself narrowly escaped a violent kidnapping, has sent shockwaves across political circles and ignited fresh concerns about the escalating insecurity in Nigeria. In a somber statement, Nsofor said, “This is not just a coordinated attack on a person, but an attack on democracy, justice, and the will of the people.”
Nsofor recalled his own traumatic experience on Thursday July 10th, 2025, when he was ambushed by armed men disguised in military uniforms while traveling by road through Loma, Kogi State. The vehicle he had chartered for a night journey, in a bid to save campaign costs, was forcefully diverted into the forest, where he and others were severely beaten and held captive for ransom. “It was only by divine intervention — rain scattering the captors — that I was able to untie myself and escape,” he recounted.
Expressing deep concern, he added, “Barely one week after my escape from kidnappers, our party’s governorship candidate faces an assassination attempt. Who is safe in this country anymore?”
Nsofor called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to overhaul Nigeria’s deteriorating security architecture, demanding a robust intelligence and operational framework to combat violent crime and terrorism. “The Federal Government must increase intelligence gathering, equip our security forces, and act decisively to fish out the evil terrorizing our land,” he stated.
While praying for the speedy recovery and fortitude of Ambassador Ezenwafor, Nsofor did not mince words in calling for divine justice. “I pray that the judgment of God will fall heavily on the wicked men who tried to take the life of His Excellency Sir Jude and on the bandits who kidnapped me last week. May their evil plans boomerang upon them a hundredfold, in the mighty name of Jesus.”
He emphasized that such attacks should never deter good people from answering the call to serve. “We must not allow Nigeria to become a place where noble aspirations are cut short by the bullet. My thoughts are with the people of Anambra and every conscientious Nigerian who is working for a better future.”
Identifying insecurity as the foremost challenge facing Nigeria, Nsofor proposed a bold and comprehensive legislative solution. “I will sponsor a bill to formally regulate the Fulani herdsmen enterprise by mandating a nationwide biometric registration system. Every herdsman must present a minimum of fifty credible guarantors and undergo biometric capturing to be issued a traceable ID card. Any herder found without this ID or operating unlawfully shall be deemed an illegal operator and face life imprisonment. Guarantors of any offender will also be held equally accountable. Through this system, we can trace, monitor, and eliminate rogue elements hiding behind a legitimate trade,” he declared.
In his closing remarks, Hon. Chinedu Nsofor raised heartfelt prayers for national healing and peace:
“I pray for divine intervention in our land. May the Almighty God protect every sincere leader and candidate from the snare of the wicked. I pray that the spirit of violence, terrorism, kidnapping, political thuggery, and assassination will be destroyed completely in Nigeria. May our military and security agencies be empowered, and may the God of justice avenge every bloodshed by evil men. I ask that the peace of God flood across the North, South, East, and West of our great nation. May no parent mourn their child because of politics, and may Nigeria rise again with a new order of safety, unity, and progress. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.”

Three Years On, General Buratai Hails Tinubu’s Economic, Security Achievements
Three Years On, General Buratai Hails Tinubu’s Economic, Security Achievements
Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (retd.), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what he described as bold economic reforms and improved security efforts as the President marks three years in office.
In a goodwill message on Thursday to commemorate Tinubu’s third anniversary as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Buratai said the administration had taken courageous decisions that would leave a lasting impact on Nigeria’s development.
According to him, President Tinubu broke a long-standing cycle that had hindered national growth by removing fuel subsidy and implementing foreign exchange reforms aimed at stabilising the naira and strengthening the economy.
He noted that the reforms were beginning to yield positive results, citing the global acceptance of Nigerian debit cards, the gradual revival of local refineries, access to student loans, and ongoing road and infrastructure projects across the country.
“The FCT Administration has also recorded remarkable progress, completing major road projects that remained unfinished for over 16 years,” Buratai stated.
The former army chief also praised the administration’s security efforts, saying renewed military offensives against insurgents, terrorists and bandits had led to notable successes across various parts of the country.
He specifically lauded recent joint operations involving Nigerian and United States forces against Boko Haram and ISWAP in the North-East, as well as intensified counter-banditry operations in the North-West.
“We have seen notorious ISWAP commanders being neutralised. I congratulate the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Defence, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Service Chiefs, the Inspector-General of Police and heads of intelligence agencies for their efforts,” he said.
Buratai, however, acknowledged that challenges remained, stressing the need for more aggressive military operations and intelligence-driven strategies in the coming year.
While urging Nigerians to remain hopeful, he said celebrating the President’s achievements did not amount to ignoring the difficulties facing the nation.
“Because you truly care, you have shown the courage to trade short-term comfort for long-term hope. Nigerians need your reassurances, and that is why we remain optimistic and full of confidence,” he added.
The retired military officer reaffirmed his support for the Tinubu administration and expressed confidence that the foundation being laid by the government would deliver a brighter future for the country.
He also prayed for God’s guidance, wisdom, strength and good health for the President as he continues to lead Nigeria.

NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers
NUT Raises Alarm Over Continued Captivity of Abducted Oyo Pupils, Teachers
The Nigeria Union of Teachers has expressed deep concern over the continued captivity of pupils and teachers abducted during an attack on schools in the Ahoro-Esinle and Yawota communities in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the Oyo State wing of the union described the situation as increasingly distressing, particularly following the emergence of a video allegedly released by the abductors showing the victims pleading for their freedom.
The union said the footage had heightened fears over the welfare of the abducted pupils and teachers, describing their ordeal as heartbreaking and unacceptable.
According to the NUT, no child or teacher deserves to be subjected to such traumatic experiences, adding that the prolonged captivity of the victims has continued to inflict psychological pain on their families, colleagues and the wider education community.
The union called on the Federal Government, Oyo State Government and relevant security agencies to intensify efforts towards securing the immediate and safe release of the victims.
“This is not a moment for hesitation. It is a moment for coordinated, intelligence-driven efforts to ensure the immediate and safe release of all abducted pupils and teachers,” the statement read.
While acknowledging ongoing interventions by security agencies and government authorities, the union stressed that time was of the essence, warning that every additional day in captivity deepens the trauma suffered by the victims.
The NUT urged security operatives to strengthen surveillance, improve community intelligence gathering and deploy all necessary operational and diplomatic measures to facilitate the rescue of the abductees.
It also appealed to traditional rulers, community leaders and residents to support rescue efforts by providing credible information that could assist security agencies.
“The safety of our children and teachers must remain a collective priority,” the union stated.
Reaffirming its support for the families of the victims, the NUT pledged continued solidarity and prayers while advocating safer learning environments across the country.
The statement was jointly signed by the Chairman of the Oyo State NUT, Comrade Hassan Ajibola Fatai, and the Secretary, Comrade Salami Olukayode.
