Pharmacist Kenneth Ahaotu has described the death of his late brother, Charles Chukwuemeka Ahaotu as a great loss to the entire country, Silvernews.com.ng reports.

Before his death, Late Ahaotu of Eziala Ogwu Nguru in Aboh Mbaise local government of Imo State retired as the Deputy Controller General of the Nigeria Correctional Service.

According to Pharmacist Ahaotu, his late brother lived a fulfilled life worthy of emulation adding that he believed in the interest and growth of the country.

He noted that his late brother will be greatly missed owing to his tremendous impacts during his lifetime believing that he is resting in the bossom of the Lord.

“Umungo lost a son, Eziala Ogwu lost a worthy son, Imo State lost an illustrious son and Nigeria lost a jewel. This is man whose singular ambition was that Nigeria will be great and overcome its challenges. He never for one day considered leaving because he believed in Nigeria could be successful and great.

“In the career he chosed and did much of his productive life, he worked very hard. He is a very intelligent man, a very cerebral person, he is someone you can trust that before he says anything, he would have thought it through and this brother is hardly ever wrong.

“I have known him all my life. At a point in the last 10-15 years, we grew quite close that we were able to share a lot of things. We were open to ourselves. We could share very deep thoughts. There is nothing you can say that would expressly describe him but all I can say is that a good man has gone. One of the best of us has gone, one of the persons that we look forward to is gone.

“The school he went to in Russia is equivalent to Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. This is Russia’s equivalent of MIT. During his time there, he made me know the extent, the respect and he was one of the persons that made Russians respect black people.

“After each semester in his class, his lecturers will be surprised when he answers questions and they would be asking other Russian students, how can you be here and this black boy will be doing this. He really showed his mettle. They wanted him to stay back because they saw what he was. But my brother loved Nigeria, loved his family, loved where his parents and didn’t want to go away.

“One of the good things that happened to him was that he encountered Christ and made a very tremendous change in him. Jesus Christ perfected the imperfections that were in him.

“There is nobody who interacted with him that can say without any selfish purpose that there is a guile in this man, Charles Ahaotu. Everybody that said anything contrary is because they have selfish intentions and being whom he is, he didn’t allow them to take advantage of him or his position because he was an upright person. He stood all his service, there is no guile anybody can say he did this or that.

“He was meant to be the Controller General but he accepted it that way, he never did any evil thing to climb to that office. We painfully mourn what we consider as an ultimely departure because we needed him in our family, community, Imo State and Nigeria but then the need that heaven has of him, is more paramount. His works continues to live beyond him.”

According to the Program Coordinator for the Northwest Zone and Focal Person for Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation in the state, Abubakar M. Yabo, the engagement was specifically designed and conducted by his team in Sokoto to engage with survivors of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and provide services in stress management, anxiety, and depression, free counseling, trauma, and mental health support.

Yabo disclosed that the team, comprising psychologists and mental health experts, engaged with participants on stress management, emotional response and reaction to events, and other relevant topics. The team also conducted free mental health assessments and counseling, providing necessary support to enhance understanding of triggers to mental health challenges and their adverse effects.

Interactive and question-and-answer sessions were conducted to gather feedback, which were coordinated by Mallam Kabiru Mahe, Peter Kolapo (Psychologists), and Khadija Raji (Psychologists).

The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has said that it is not responsible for the delay in the burial of Late Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah (Ebube – Chukwu Uzo ), in his home town, Nnewi, Nnewi North LGA in Anambra State, Nigeria.

The group insisted that the delay in the burial is not in any way connected to the Kidnapping and rendettion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria, reports silvernews.com.ng

The IPOB Media Officer, Comrade Emma Powerful, in a statement, claimed that the deceased Federal lawmaker stepped on the toes of many people, expecially those from Nnewi, when he was alive.

IPOB has insisted that Nnewi traditional leaders and their custodians are aware of the reason for the delay in the burial.

The statement read,” We have the reliable information of those who bank – rolled and sponsored the abduction and rendetioning of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from Kenya to Nigeria, and we will surely take an appropriate response at the right time.

For now, we are much more concerned with other pressing matters to IPOB.

“It is a known fact that late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah intentionally stepped on the toe of many Igbo People (NDI – IGBO), Particularly his Nnewi people.

The delay in his burial is not in anyway connected with the Kidnapping and rendettion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“Those who collaborated with the Nigerian government in Committing these abominations are still around”.

*The Nnewi traditional leaders and their custodians are people of rich culture and traditions”.

,”They know why the burial of the Late Senator is being delayed’.

“Nobody should link what happened to the IPOB leader to the delay in the burial of Late Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah.

IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu should be left out of the traditional quagmire.

“IPOB respects the oneness and deep tradition among Nnewi people.

They know what to do to ensure that peace reigns in Nnewi.

IPOB encourages them to do what is culturally permissible to ensure that the remains of their son are not buried outside their ancestral land.

“What is happening to the burial of Late Senator Ubah should be a wake up call to the radicals and the untouchable politicians to remember that one day, Biafrans may reject your corpse and even that of their children”.

“They may even be treated as outcasts and possibly banished from Biafra Land.

Let he who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying, Comrade Emma Powerful concluded.
