[IGBO History & Facts @IgboHistoFacts]

Exactly 21 years ago today, five Igbo traders, along with their female friend, were brutally murdered in cold blood by men of the Nigerian Police Force led by then-DCP Danjuma Ibrahim at a police checkpoint on Gimbiya Street, Area 11, Garki, Abuja, after the female victim turned down the romantic advances of the senior police officer at an evening gathering in the city.

The names of the five Igbo traders were:

(1) Ifeanyi Ozor
(2) Chinedu Meniru
(3) Anthony Nwokike
(4) Paulinus Ogbonna
(5) Ekene Isaac Mgbe, and
(6) Augustina Arebu, the only female victim and fiancée of Ifeanyi Ozor.

All six were traders at the Apo Auto Spare Parts Market, Abuja.

They were killed after DCP Danjuma made romantic advances to the only lady among them, Augustina (Tina) Arebu, at an evening gathering, which she rejected. A minor disagreement reportedly ensued, and the officer immediately stormed out of the gathering to the nearby police checkpoint on Gimbiya Street, where he told the policemen on duty that he had sighted a gang of armed robbers.

When the Apo Six drove to the checkpoint, Officer Danjuma reportedly blocked them with his vehicle and ordered the junior policemen on duty to open fire on them.

"Obey my last order," Danjuma reportedly shouted. "Shoot them! Shoot them! They refused my advances."

The junior policemen obeyed the order and opened fire on the innocent traders.

Four of the Apo Six were killed on the spot. The remaining two — the lady, Tina Arebu, and one of the five young men — were killed the following day.

According to the findings of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry, Tina Arebu was strangled to death by DCP Danjuma Ibrahim.

This is according to the findings of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by then-President Olusegun Obasanjo and headed by Justice O.O. Goodluck.

Immediately after the killings, the Nigerian Police reportedly went to work in a desperate bid to cover up the crime.

First, Officer Danjuma Ibrahim obtained weapons from the Garki Police Station, planted them inside the Peugeot 406 car of the victims, and ordered the official police photographer to take photographs in an attempt to create the false narrative that the innocent traders were armed robbers killed in a gun battle with the police.

However, both the Administrative Panel of Inquiry set up by the Police and the Judicial Commission of Inquiry established by the Federal Government concluded that DCP Danjuma led other officers in the killing of the six victims, including the strangulation of the only female among them and the burial of their bodies in shallow graves in what the Commission described as "a continuous single exercise of elimination to conceal facts."

The Commission established the following facts: (Read carefully)

The Peugeot 406 being driven by one of the deceased persons had six occupants, including the driver, five males and one female.

The police buried the corpses of the six deceased persons in two shallow graves in the Utako District of the FCT, Abuja, under the supervision of the DPO of Garki Police Station, CSP Othman Abdulsalam.

At the first point of contact between the police and the deceased persons on Gimbiya Street, Area 11, Garki, Abuja, not all the victims were killed there.

No shooting came from the Peugeot 406 car being driven by one of the deceased persons.

The only female occupant of the Peugeot 406, Tina Arebu, was strangled to death by DCP Danjuma Ibrahim and PC Dennis Asawa.

The two locally made pistols, two live cartridges, two expended cartridges, a cutlass, and daggers found in the Peugeot 406 car were planted by officers, according to the Commission's findings.

Why does the President hardly ever address the nation despite the relentless insurgency, kidnappings, and insecurity that Nigerians face every day?

People are being killed. Children are being abducted. Communities are living in fear.

In many countries, leaders speak directly to their citizens during moments of crisis to reassure them, explain actions being taken, and show that they understand the pain of the people.

The silence is becoming as disturbing as the insecurity itself.

Are Nigerians not human beings?

Media Framing of Crime Along Ethnic Lines: Divisive.

As an Igbo man, I have endured stereotypes, judgment, and labelling solely based on my ethnic origins. This is not an isolated Igbo experience. Most Nigerians have, at some point, been reduced to their ethnicity rather than recognised for their true character.

I understand the pain of the ordinary Fulani man today, often unfairly judged by the actions of criminals he does not support, has never met, and who are not representative of his people.

Even in America, such unjust labelling fueled the civil rights movement and prompted Martin Luther King Jr. to declare that people should be judged by the content of their character, not the colour of their skin.

Every Nigerian ethnic group is known for its unique traditions, occupations, skills, and strengths. Crime, however, has no ethnicity. A thief is a thief. A terrorist is a terrorist. A kidnapper is a kidnapper. They are bad actors, not representatives of any people. They must be identified, arrested, and punished according to the law.

We must decisively abandon the dangerous practice of blaming entire ethnic groups for the actions of a few criminals. It is unjust, it breeds hatred, and it damages our national unity.

Let us proudly celebrate our diverse cultures, talents, and contributions, rather than falling prey to stereotypes and prejudices that politicians and divisive interests exploit for their gain.

A new Nigeria must emerge—one where no citizen is condemned because of tribe, religion, or birthplace. We can cherish our cultural roots while standing united by justice, mutual respect, and hope for a better future. We are capable of this.

A new Nigeria is within our reach. -PO

Building a Healthier Nigeria Through Stronger Healthcare Systems

As part of our desire and commitment to building a healthier Nigeria, I met with some healthcare professionals and experts in the United States on Friday, June 5, 2026. The meeting was essentially to deepen my understanding of how successful health insurance systems deliver improved healthcare, especially in the areas of primary and emergency care.

One of our key health objectives remains unchanged: to expand health insurance coverage, strengthen primary healthcare across our electoral wards, train more healthcare workers, and make quality healthcare accessible and affordable for all Nigerians.

A New Nigeria must be a healthier Nigeria.

A New Nigeria is possible. -PO
