DSS arrests man over Edo attack on Obi, ADC leaders
The Department of State Services, DSS, has arrested a 26-year-old man suspected of being involved in the recent attack on the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr. Peter Obi, in Benin City, Edo State.
Obi, alongside former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief John Oyegun, and several leaders and members of the opposition African Democratic Congress, ADC, narrowly escaped death on February 24 when armed men opened fire during a political meeting in Benin.
Shortly after the attack, a man identified as Udeme Monday Stephen allegedly took to his X handle, @stevetom788, claiming responsibility and issuing further threats against Obi.
Stephen stated online that Obi was lucky to have escaped in Benin and vowed that the former presidential candidate would not be as fortunate next time.
“We warned Obi against his entrance into Edo State, but he mistook our resolve for his Obidiots online noise. Thank his stars he (Obi) survived this one…
“I learnt he’s going to my Rivers State… Na my men go handle that one and dem no dey miss target… Speak no peace to a bastard and wish him no long life, for he’s destined to die,” Stephen posted.
A counter-insurgency and security expert in the Lake Chad region, Zagazola Makama, revealed that the man has been arrested.
Makama made this known in a post via its official X handle on Monday.
According the post, a top security source revealed that immediately after the threat was issued, DSS operatives launched a covert investigation, deploying forensic tools to trace and apprehend the suspect.
According to the source, Stephen is a teacher at Jessica High School in Eliozu, located in the Umuehere Community, Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State.
“I strongly believe that the outcome of the agency’s forensic investigations implicated the suspect,” the source stressed.
“You know that, as a responsible security organisation saddled with the task of counter-espionage, VIP protection, among other asset protection duties, the DSS is always alive to its responsibility of investigating credible intelligence, irrespective of tribe or religion.
“They swiftly deployed operatives and the man who threatened Peter Obi was nabbed and is in custody,” the source said according to Makaka.
He added that Stephen would soon be charged to court.





Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at builddirectionnow reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.
Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at momentumbeforeforce fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at actiondrivenoutcomes added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at forwardmovementengine extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at oceanprestige prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at visiontoexecution continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.
A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at directiondrivengrowth suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.
Coming to this with low expectations and being pleasantly surprised by the substance, and a stop at brightdwelling continued exceeding expectations, the recalibration of expectations upward across multiple positive readings is one of the actual rewards of careful browsing and this site is providing that recalibration at a steady rate apparently.
Closed it feeling I had taken something away rather than just consumed something, and a stop at growthneedssignal extended that taking away feeling, the difference between content I extract value from and content I just pass through is something I track informally and this site is consistently in the value extraction column for me.
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after progressneedsstructure my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.
My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at signalcreatesmovement extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.
Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at ideasneedpath confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to forwardthinkingactivated only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
Now considering writing a longer note about the post somewhere, and a look at focusconstructor added more material for that note, content that prompts me to write rather than just consume is content with generative energy and this site is producing that generative effect for me at a higher rate than most sources.
Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at progressoriented continued that honest feel, content built on actual knowledge rather than aggregated summaries is something I value highly and rarely come across in regular searches on the open internet these days.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at growthfollowsmovement added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at focusleadsaction continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at clarityfuelsaction kept that quality consistent, this is one of those sites where the writing actually rewards careful reading rather than punishing the patient reader with empty filler stretched out across long paragraphs that say very little.
Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at futurevertex extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at pathwaytoaction confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.
Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at directionovereffort kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.
Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at executeplansnow extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.
Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to inkedcanvas kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.
Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at claritymovesideas extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
Felt the writer did the homework before publishing, the references hold up, and a look at nexoraquest continued that documented care, content with traceable claims rather than vague assertions is the kind I trust and the lack of bald assertion in this post is one of its quietly impressive qualities for me.
A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at intentionalprogresspath continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at ideapathfinder similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at modernchrono extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at actionledgrowth kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.
Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at claritybeforecomplexity kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at momentumunlocked extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
Good clean post, no errors and no awkward phrasing that breaks the reading flow, and a stop at rapidvoyager kept the same standard, definitely the kind of editorial care that earns a return visit because it tells me the writer is paying attention to details that matter to readers rather than just rushing publication.
Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to directionenablesmomentum kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.
Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at actioncreatesmomentum provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.
Pass this along to colleagues if the topic comes up, the framing here is sensible, and a stop at momentumfactory adds more useful angles to share, the kind of content that improves conversations rather than just feeding them is what makes a resource genuinely valuable in professional contexts going forward over time and across project boundaries too.
Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at igniteforwardmotion only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.
Now adjusting my mental list of reliable sites for this topic, and a stop at thinkingtomotion reinforced the adjustment, the small ongoing curation work of maintaining trusted sources is one of the actual practical activities of careful reading and this site has earned a permanent place on my list for this particular subject.
Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at progressmovesintentionally kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.
Bookmarked the page and the homepage too because clearly there is more to explore here, and a quick stop at actioncreatesalignment only made that more obvious, this is the kind of place I want to dig through over a weekend rather than rushing through during a coffee break tomorrow morning before getting back to work.
Liked that the post left some questions open rather than pretending to settle everything, and a stop at luxuryvoyage continued that intellectual honesty, content that respects the limits of its own claims is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly figured out which positions it can defend confidently.
Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at activateyourmomentum reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at motionbeatsmotionless added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.
Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at directionguidesgrowth continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.
Skimmed first and then went back to read carefully, and the careful read paid off in places I had missed, and a stop at studyharbor got the same treatment, the rare site whose content rewards a second pass is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable single read articles.
Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at signaloverdistraction reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.
Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at clarityfuelsmotion earned the same accessibility upgrade, the small organisational moves I make for sites I expect to return to often are themselves a signal of how much I trust them and this site triggered those moves naturally.
A piece that did not lecture even when it had clear positions, and a look at signalbasedgrowth maintained the same teaching without preaching tone, finding the line between informing and lecturing is hard and most sites land on the wrong side of it but this one has clearly figured out how to inform without becoming preachy.
Glad the writer did not feel compelled to cover every possible angle of the topic, focus is a virtue, and a stop at ideaswithimpact reflected the same disciplined scope, knowing what to leave out is half of what makes good writing good and this post has clearly been edited with that principle in mind.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at progresswithintent continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at claritylaunch continued that fresh quality, sites that avoid the standard moves of the medium read as more original even when the content is on familiar topics and this one has clearly chosen its own path through the conventional terrain skilfully.
