“God, pls render the devil and his agents powerless and useless.

I was with this man yesterday same yesterday at Sharon Hall, All Saints Cathedral, Onitsha. It was an occasion of University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA), Onitsha branch event where they honoured late Dora Akunyili.

He spoke glowingly about Dora and made a donation of 500k to the association. He was there with his son, Obum now working with Anambra state government.

We saw them off to the car and it was emotional when Obum hugged him tight as both of them separated to join their respective vehicles.

Obum was in a white Hilux while the man was in a big Jeep (i think Prado). God have mercy!”a source told the publication

We reached out to the spokesperson of the state police command and he mentioned he is yet to receive any information on the incident.
