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.





The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at brightwinner continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at brightamigo reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.

Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at unifiednexus did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at primevertexhub produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.
Liked the careful selection of which details to include and which to skip, and a stop at urbanfamilia reflected the same editorial judgement, knowing what to leave out is just as important as knowing what to include and this site has clearly figured out where that line sits for the topics it covers regularly.
If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at rapidnexus extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at wisdomvertex earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at masteryvertex extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at trumpetsixth the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.
More substantial than most of what I find searching for this topic online, and a stop at moderncomfort 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.
The clarity here is something I really appreciate, especially compared to sites that pile on jargon for no reason, and a look at growthvertexhub was the same, simple direct sentences that actually deliver information instead of dancing around the point for paragraphs at a time which wastes reader patience.
Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at craftbreweryhub kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.
Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at royalmariner continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.
Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at growthcareer extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to brightzenithhub only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.
Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to oceanriders maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.
Really grateful for content like this, it does not waste my time and it does not insult my intelligence either, and a quick look at discountnexus was the same, balanced respectful writing that makes a person feel welcome rather than rushed through pages of forced engagement just to keep clicking around.
Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at purposehaven earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.
Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at sweatertorso extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.
Felt the writer was being honest with the reader which is rare enough that I want to acknowledge it, and a look at merrynights 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.
Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at topicnexus extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.
Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at cozyhomestead continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at trendoutlet held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at radianttouch sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.
Worth recognising the absence of the usual blog tropes here, and a look at modernvertex 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.
Now adding this to a list of sites I want to see flourish, and a stop at artistnexus reinforced that wish, the few sites I actively root for are sites that produce the kind of work I want more of in the world and this one has joined that small list based on what I have read so far.
Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at supportnexus continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.
Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at trillsaddle extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at digitalgrove extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at guidancehubpro reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.
Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at quietvoyage reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.
In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at socialflare extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.
Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to unityharbor I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.
My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at businessnova pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.
Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to humorvertex confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.
Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at silverpathhub kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.
Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at cocktailnexus cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at brightportal maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at modernlivinghub extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at tattooharbor confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at modernupdate added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at connectnexus continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.
Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at uniquevoyager kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at glamourbrush confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at parcelvoyager expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.
Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at pixelharborhub extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.
Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at urbanwellness confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.
Useful read, especially because the writer did not assume too much background from the reader, and a quick look at cosmicvertex continued in the same way, a thoughtful site that meets people where they are which is something the modern web could use a lot more of for both casual and serious readers.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at masterynexus maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
