PRINCE CHINEDU AFAMUEFUNA NSOFOR SURVIVES KIDNAP ATTEMPT, ANNOUNCES POLITICAL SETBACK AND FUTURE DIRECTION
PRINCE CHINEDU AFAMUEFUNA NSOFOR (KPAKPANDO NDIGBO) PDP FRONTLINE SENATORIAL ASPIRANT SURVIVES KIDNAP ATTEMPT, ANNOUNCES POLITICAL SETBACK AND FUTURE DIRECTION
Anambra, Nigeria – Hon. Prince Chinedu Afamuefuna Nsofor, [Kpakpando Ndigbo], has spoken publicly for the first time after a harrowing kidnap experience in Kogi State in the early hours of Thursday at around 3am precisely while on his way to Abuja to pick up his nomination form for the 2025 PDP senatorial bye election primaries. He recalled how he was advised by his dear wife to go by flight, but in a bid to save more funds for his upcoming primaries elections and most importantly have a first hand experience of what the common man go through on daily basis on Nigerian roads, he rather opted to go by road to Abuja.
Nsofor further narrated that while passing through Loma in Kogi State, their chartered vehicle was ambushed by armed men disguised as military officers and taken into a thick forest where they were beaten and held captive for ransom.
“I had overwhelming support across all seven local government areas in Anambra South Senatorial District,” Prince Nsofor stated. “The PDP Anambra South zonal leadership was ready to officially endorse me alongside the seven local government PDP Chairmen and women leaders at my country home in Oraifite, Ekwusigo LGA, Anambra State, in a meeting already scheduled to hold on Saturday 12th July 2025. I was simply going to pick up my nomination form, thereafter emerge by overwhelming majority votes.”
The abductors demanded ₦20 million for his release, rejecting an earlier agreement of a ₦6 million cash ransom. During this period, fervent prayers were offered by his church, Dunamis International Gospel Centre, and his pastor, Pastor Solomon Agbadi, who interceded earnestly for his release. As a minister of Dunamis Owerri Central, the church stood in the gap, praying not only for his freedom but also that the name of the Lord would be glorified and the church not be put to shame.
“When the kidnappers discovered I am Minister, they began to mock both I and my God,” he recalled. “They said people like me are the ones praying for their destruction, yet God couldn’t stop me from falling into their hands.
But unknown to them, I had started a three-day dry fast—no food, no water—on Wednesday, July 9th, without any awareness of what was ahead. That fast activated the power of God within me, and on Friday night, a heavy rain fell, which became our escape route.
Earlier that day, during the Commanding the Day midnight prayers—which I regularly join—Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Pastor Paul Enenche, had prophetically declared that someone connected to the listeners would escape from captivity.”
I had made a vow to God that I wouldn’t give any ransom to the kidnappers, but instead, I would sow that money into His house,” Prince Nsofor revealed. “When the rain came, it caused confusion among the kidnappers and dispelled them. That was when I saw the opportunity to untie myself—and I escaped.”
After trekking down the mountain with fellow abductees on Saturday morning, Prince Nsofor and other adoptees were received by villagers and local vigilantes before reporting to the Kogi State Police Command. Unfortunately, due to the ordeal, he missed the PDP nomination form deadline, which ended on Friday, July 11.
“It’s a setback, no doubt,” he admitted. “But after exhausting internal discussions within the party, I will consult with my supporters and spiritual leaders to determine the next line of action — which may include joining another political party to realize the Divine Intervention Mandate.”
Speaking on the issue of insecurity in Nigeria, particularly as it relates to the activities of herdsmen, Chinedu Nsofor emphasized the need for a robust and accountable system. Reflecting on his own personal experience, he stated that having endured similar challenges faced by ordinary Nigerians, he has come to understand the root of the problem and proposes a practical solution.
Nsofor called for the formal regulation of the Fulani herdsmen business by proposing a nationwide biometric registration system. He stated that every herdsman should be required to undergo biometric capturing, which would result in the issuance of a biometric ID card, with their personal details stored in a centralized database. As part of the registration process, each herdsman must present a minimum of fifty guarantors before being officially permitted to graze cattle.
“This system will not only help regulate their activities but will also maintain a transparent and traceable record of legitimate herders,” he explained.
He further stated that any herdsman who is not registered under this system, or who is found grazing or moving without a biometric ID card, should be considered an illegal operator, with penalties including life imprisonment. In the event of attacks on communities, forensic methods—such as analyzing footprints and other evidence from the scene—could be used to identify and prosecute the perpetrators.
In a bid to ensure collective responsibility, Nsofor added that any guarantor found to have knowingly supported or been connected to a perpetrator of such crimes would also face a similar life imprisonment.
Nsofor stated that this is a bill he intends to sponsor on the floor of the Senate if elected, and he will work to ensure its full implementation. His proposal aims to establish a framework for accountability, reduce violent conflicts, and bring lasting peace to affected regions across the country.
Quoting scripture, he concluded:
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all. I know this is a spiritual attack, but no force of darkness can stop what God has ordained/destined.”
Prince Nsofor expressed gratitude to his teaming supporters and reiterated his commitment to serve the people of Anambra South and to serve God Almighty through his Divine Intervention Mandate. InGodWeTrust…

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.
