A newlywed man, Jonathan Uko Ogah and his close friend, Gabriel Ogoda, were brutally murdered in Benue State.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Monday, August 4, 2025 along the Oju Awarji road in the Ullam axis of Gwer East Local Government Area of the state.

It was gathered that the victims were returning from Oju Local Government Area when they were reportedly ambushed by the armed men.

The Abia State Police Command has recorded a significant breakthrough in its fight against kidnapping and violent crime with the dismantling of a notorious kidnapping syndicate operating in Ukwa West Local Government Area.

In a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Maureen Chinaka and made available to ABN TV, the raid was carried out on June 30, 2025, at about 5:30 PM following actionable intelligence. A joint tactical team of the Command stormed a kidnappers’ hideout at Umuiku Obete Village, Ukwa West LGA, linked to multiple abductions along Umuozo Village, Uratta Road, off Port Harcourt Road.

According to the police, upon arrival, the criminals opened fire, triggering a fierce gun battle. Five members of the gang were gunned down in the exchange, while the remaining suspects fled into the surrounding bush.

Exhibits recovered from the scene include six AK-47 rifles, 335 rounds of live ammunition, 14 magazines, five mobile phones, three cutlasses, five operational jackets, one axe, one boot, one polo charm, and a double-barrel long gun. The police confirmed that efforts are ongoing to track down the fleeing members of the gang.

Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen have killed a popular businessman, Ifesinachi Onyekere, also known as “Fish Magnet”, despite the payment of an undisclosed amount for ransom.

Onyekere, a son of an All Progressives Grand Alliance chieftain in the state, was abducted on Saturday, when some assailants invaded his residence in Ezinifite community, Okpuno, Awka South LGA of Anambra State, in a late-night attack.

It was gathered that the incident sent panic and shockwaves to the area as the armed hoodlums shot the victim in the leg before whisking him away in his own car.

A source in the area told our correspondent that the hoodlums invaded the victim’s compound in an ash coloured sports utility vehicle and forced their way into his compound, where they abducted him.

The source said, “The attackers arrived in an ash-coloured Lexus SUV at about 10:30pm, forced their way into the compound, and fled the scene in the victim’s navy blue Toyota Corolla after shooting him on his leg.

“The assailants escaped through bush paths towards Nawfia, while firing gunshots into the air, thereby triggering panic in the area.

“Local volunteers and security watch groups who were contacted have launched a search effort, while authorities are working to trace the victim’s phone and make contact with the kidnappers.

“He was in captivity for three days until a ransom was paid, but instead of setting him free, they ended his life. He was later found lifeless by the roadside this morning. He was young, hardworking, full of promise, known for his passion and thriving fish business”, the source said.

When contacted on the development, the state Spokesman for the state Police Command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday, adding that joint security operatives have recovered the victim’s vehicle, which the assailants used to escape the scene.

Ikenga said, “The Commissioner of Police, CP Ikioye Orutugu, has directed all tactical and intelligence units to redouble their efforts in tracking down the armed men responsible for the abduction and subsequent killing of Ifesinachi Onyekere, the Managing Director of Fish Magnet Outlet, who was attacked in the evening of July 27, 2025, at his residence in Ezinifite village, Okpuno, Awka.

“This directive follows the recovery of the victim’s navy blue Toyota Corolla, along Ukwulu/Igbariam road by the Joint Security Team comprising of Anambra Vigilante
Operatives and the Police.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the assailants had trailed the victim before launching the violent attack, during which the deceased was shot in the leg and forcibly taken away.

“He was later found lifeless, sparking public outrage and deep concern among residents of Awka.”

According to Ikenga, the CP, while condemning the killing, assured that the criminal elements behind this cowardly act will be brought to book.

“He further stated that the Police owe it to the family, the people of Anambra, and the memory of the deceased to ensure that those responsible face the full weight of the Law. Further developments would be communicated accordingly,” he added.
