  There has been widespread outrage following the emergence of a disturbing video showing security operatives assaulting a female member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Anambra State. The victim, identified as  Jennifer Edema Elohor , was seen in the viral video being flogged and stripped naked by gun-wielding men believed to be members of  Operation Udo Ga-Achi , also known as the  Agunechemba Vigilante Group .

The group revealed that Elohor was beaten, stripped, and left bloodied while she and others were subjected to humiliating threa...

Enugu is blessed with a lot of natural resources that are both tapped and untapped in different ways. Enugu's mining activities rose to prominence in 1909 after the then British Government discovered coal before it started mining in 1915. This made the state become the hub for migrant workers across the globe after the construction of the Port Harcourt railway lines.

However, since the coal mining stopped, successive governments have done little or nothing to revitalize the mining sector of the state and turn it into a pure renowned revenue-generating source until Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah came with a roadmap to making Enugu a safe haven for the mining sector with the appointment of Engr. Samuel Onyinye Okoro as his Special Adviser on Solid Mineral Mining. The appointment of this intelligent and professional son of Nkanu land, who is al...
