Nnennaya Onu

The National Human Rights Commission in Ebonyi State has called on the Ebonyi State Commissioner of Police to fish out the killers of 32-year-old Nnennaya Onu, who was allegedly killed, dismembered and then burnt over inheritance quarrel in Onicha Igbeze, Onicha Local Government Area of the state.

Our Reporter gathered that the incident had been brought to the attention of the Ebonyi State Police Command since February.

But till date, the Command is yet to launch an investigation, let alone to make an arrest.

According to reports, Onu was killed, dismembered, burnt and then her killers forbade anyone in the community from speaking of it.

They also warned that nobody should share pictures of her burnt remains on social media.

The deceased was alleged to have been killed over her late father’s property.

Sources further revealed that her legs were chopped off and that her only crime was in having the effrontery to repeatedly demand that she should inherit her late father’s property, which the killers didn’t agree with because she was a woman.

Our reporter further learnt that the officials of the NHRC got wind of the gruesome murder and had since written a petition to the State Commissioner of Police, calling for an investigation of the matter and arrest of her killers.

However, another source told our reporter on March 26, 2022 that the Police in the state had finally vowed not to leave any stone unturned in its search for the killers of Onu.

NAFDAC busts fake Eva water factory, arrests suspect

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has exposed a counterfeit bottled water operation in Port Harcourt, specifically targeting the renowned brand Eva water.

Following a tipoff, NAFDAC officials conducted a raid on a derelict shop situated on Pipeline Road, Eneka.

The establishment disguised as a pool house and served as the hub for producing the fraudulent water.

During the operation, authorities discovered that used Eva plastic bottles were being refilled with contaminated water sourced from a paint bucket.

The water was then filtered through unhygienic rubber funnels covered with cloth.

Counterfeit Eva labels were affixed to the bottles, which were subsequently sealed with fake Eva corks.

One suspect, identified as Chibunna James, was apprehended while in the process of loading the adulterated water for distribution. However, the mastermind behind the operation remains at large.

The confiscated products were promptly evacuated to the NAFDAC office for further investigation and analysis.

Cyril Monye, NAFDAC’s Public Relations Officer for Rivers State, disclosed that the scheme of the perpetrators involved repackaging contaminated water in used Eva bottles, employing makeshift filters made from unsanitary materials, and applying fake labels and corks to deceive consumers.

While efforts are underway to locate and apprehend the ringleader of the syndicate, NAFDAC urges the public to provide any relevant information that could aid in their apprehension.

Furthermore, Monye revealed that thirty packs of the counterfeit products were confiscated and transported to the NAFDAC office in Port Harcourt for thorough investigation. To prevent the circulation of the counterfeit water, the uncorked bottles were emptied and disposed of.
