PDP’s Amadein Tibiebi Arrested by Police for Alleged Illegal Firearms Possession....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Amadein Tibiebi, the Assistant Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State, has been apprehended by men from Zone 16 of the Nigerian Police for allegedly possessing firearms illegally. Currently undergoing interrogation, Tibiebi is being held at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Bayelsa State Police Command due to the absence of a detention facility at Zone 16.

The arrest took place on Monday and follows a previous incident from November 2021, where Richard Okon was arrested for illegal firearm possession at a wake-keeping event in the Koluama community of Southern Ijaw Local Government Area. In a confessional video, Okon claimed the firearm belonged to Tibiebi, who he was allegedly working with at the time. However, the case did not progress further after that incident.

Sources within the police have revealed that Tibiebi had been invited for questioning previously but managed to evade consequences by presenting fake licenses and forged documents, leveraging his connections to secure his release. His latest arrest comes after a fresh petition to the police, alleging threats to life, indicating that he had continued his previous behavior without fear of repercussions.

During his arrest, Tibiebi reportedly contacted several influential individuals, including senators and high-ranking law enforcement officers, in an attempt to avoid detention. A police source commented, “Tibiebi is being investigated for alleged illegal possession of firearms. It is a serious offense, but he has been calling very powerful people to go scot-free.”

Tibiebi is known to be a nephew and chief security officer to Cleopas Moses, a former PDP state chairman who represented Bayelsa Central Senatorial District in the Ninth Senate. Community sources have noted that Tibiebi has openly boasted about his perceived immunity from law enforcement, claiming he is untouchable due to his connections within the PDP and the state government.

When contacted for comments, Emonena Gunn, the Public Relations Officer for Zone 16, confirmed Tibiebi’s arrest and stated that the matter is currently under investigation. However, he did not provide further details regarding the case. The ongoing investigation into Tibiebi’s activities underscores the increasing scrutiny of political figures and their alleged ties to criminal activities in Nigeria.

Nigerian skit maker Kevin Chinedu, popularly known as Kevinblak or Governor Amuneke, has alleged that he was offered money in dollars by members of a political party to alter the message of his satirical skits, which often criticise politicians and governance.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that he made the claim during an interview on ARISE Television, where he spoke about the challenges content creators face while using humour to hold public officials accountable.

According to him, despite the pressure and financial difficulties, he rejected the offer and chose to remain committed to his principles.

“I was approached with cash by members of a political party to alter my content. They said they were going to change my life, that I’m earning crumbs, you know, give me dollars,” he said.

He explained that he was told to come to Abuja where he would be “changed” financially, but insisted he could not compromise his values for money.

“I looked at it and said no, I am who I am. I’ve never been involved in anything illegal or influenced by money to do something against my principles,” he added.

Kevinblak also declined to name the political party involved, referring to it only as “Amuneke’s party,” a reference to a fictional character in his skits, and warned against attempts to publicly identify it.

He further noted that people close to him have also faced similar approaches but have refused, stressing that his circle is made up of individuals who uphold strong personal values.

“Kachikwu Not Our Member, He Was Expelled – Ex-ADC Chairman Nwosu Declares”.

Published

on

The founder and pioneer National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ralph Nwosu, has spoken on the ongoing internal crisis in the party, blaming it on internal conflicts and disruptive individuals.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

reports that Nwosu made the comments during an interview with Punch, where he explained the background to several decisions taken within the party over time.

Speaking on internal reforms, he said the ADC was forced to review and amend its constitution following what he described as disruptive behaviour by certain members.

He explained that stricter rules were introduced to prevent individuals from joining the party and quickly securing tickets without proper screening of their intentions.

According to him, the decision was influenced by past experiences involving internal challenges that affected party stability.

Nwosu also confirmed that Dumebi Kachikwu was expelled during a party convention, adding that the party later moved on to support the Labour Party presidential candidate during the general election.

He accused Kachikwu of playing a destabilising role within the party, describing his actions as destructive and harmful to its unity.

The ADC founder insisted that Kachikwu is no longer a member of the party, saying his claim to still represent the party was no longer valid following his expulsion.

He also criticised Kachikwu for continuing to publicly present himself as a presidential candidate of the ADC, stating that such a position had already expired.

Nwosu further alleged that ongoing tensions within the party are being influenced by a mix of internal actors and external interests, which he said has distorted the true nature of the dispute.

He added that individuals linked to the crisis have become entangled in broader political narratives, insisting that the situation is being exaggerated in the public space.
