Twenty months after the murder of Pa Joseph Ayonmike and his wife Shirley Ayonmike in Warri, Delta State, members of his family have appealed for help in tracking the alleged prime suspect by offering a two million naira bounty for the capture of Chukwunonso Nwogu, who at the time was the couple’s driver.

The police in 2021 had declared Nwogu wanted in connection with the murder but months after the case hit a dead-end.

The Ayonmike family have taken a step toward reviving the case by calling for information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect with the public notice offering the bounty and imploring those with useful information to reach the family through 0807-154-8887 and 0803-830-0921 or contact the Nigeria police.

The late octogenarian and his wife were shot, stabbed and macheted by unknown assailants at their residence on N0 28 Mabiaku Road, Nana College Road, GRA, Warri.

The family’s driver, Chukwunonso Nwogu (Nonso) alias Drey, Kelly, Derek, became the prime suspect after he vanished in the wake of the attack and has remained elusive despite police’s manhunt.

The suspect has been described as a fugitive that moved around incognito frequently alternating his appearance from casual dress to formal and at times in traditional northern garment of Babariga. He is further believed to be hiding around the South East states, Rivers, Delta and Lagos.

A family source told DAILY POST the cash reward was not a stunt but a genuine promise made in good faith.

The late Pa Joseph Ayonmike, an 83-year-old man, and his wife, Dr Chinyere Shirley Ayonmike, opera soloist/duetist, Technical Vocational Education and Training, TVET, expert and a senior lecturer at the Delta State University, were murdered on Friday, June 25, 2021.

The Bauchi State Ministry of Education has launched a sensitization campaign on the importance of education across selected market places in the state.

The campaign aims to encourage school enrolment and showcase the infrastructural facilities provided by the Bauchi state government to ensure a conducive environment for learning and teaching in the state.

Speaking during the flag off of the campaign at Gadan-Maiwa Community, Dr. Mohammed Lawal, the state’s Commissioner for Education, emphasized that the marketplaces are ideal locations to promote education, as it is a hub of activity where people gather to buy and sell.

He highlighted the various infrastructural facilities provided by the government, which he said included the mega schools, provision of qualified teachers, and educational materials to woo parents to enroll their wards into school.

The Commissioner noted that the state has made significant progress in reducing the number of out-of-school children.

Lawal stated that the government has implemented a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme to support the education of girl children, which he said, has recorded significant success.

He therefore urged parents to take advantage of the government’s efforts and send their children to school.

The commissioner also commended Governor Bala Mohammed for his commitment to education and reducing the number of out-of-school children in the state.

On their part, the village head of Gadan-Maiwa, Safiyanu Ahmed, and the Chairman of Gadan-Maiwa motor Park, Alhaji Adamu Abubakar, lauded the government’s initiative and urged parents to support the effort.

The duo also appealed for more teachers to be employed to improve education in the state.

Former Big Brother Naija winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, was reportedly involved in a heated altercation at a hotel in Abuja following an alleged N200,000 disagreement.

According to eyewitness accounts, the confrontation began in the early hours of Tuesday inside Phyna’s hotel room in Abuja, before spilling into the lobby, attracting the attention of guests and staff.

Sources claimed the dispute stemmed from an unsettled financial issue involving N200,000, which quickly escalated into a shouting match.

The argument reportedly intensified when neither party was willing to back down, leading to pushing and chaos within the hotel premises.

Eyewitnesses further alleged that the situation worsened after others connected to the individuals involved joined the confrontation, turning the verbal exchange into a physical clash.
