Uka reveals how Chidi killed inspector Michael in Enugu as Ette youths demand for justice
The Youths at Ette community in Igbo-Eze North local government of Enugu state has called on inspector general of police, commissioner of police in the state and well meaning Nigerians as matter of urgency to set up a panel to investigate the unlawful killing of a police officer Michael Adama by inspector Chidi.
Late Inspector Adama Micheal who until his death was a serving Police Officer under the anti-kidnapping Unit of the Nigerian Police force Enugu Police command was reportedly shot and killed at new market axis Enugu by his colleague on the 21st of January, 2022 by inspector Chidi.
Disclosing this to journalists, Coordinator, Ette Youth Stakeholders Consultative Forum Comrade Dennis Ewaoche said that the incident was a conspiracy that must be investigated and justice must be served.
According to him, Why was Michael killed, why is the OC Pius Ugwuala covering up the matter, why is the family being denied access to see the corps? Is that the right way for a responsible organisation like the Nigeria Police Force.
“Police ought to conduct her affairs? Even though Michael misbehaved he shouldn’t be killed in that ugly manner, police should brief the general public on what lead to his death these are the questions the community are asking.
Immediately he was killed, his team deposited the corpse in the mortuary without contacting any member of his family or give out information about the unfortunate incident.
His elder brother Uka Adama who also happens to be a police officer in Enugu on receiving the news from other colleagues secretly went to the mortuary to see the corpse.
He took pictures of the corpse which showed a bullet wound below the neck of his late brother. Uka in company of other concerned police officers approached the OC anti-kidnapping section SP Pius Eziubochi Ugwuala for information on what resulted to the death of Inspector Michael, Unknown to the OC Pius Ugwuala that the brother had visited the mortuary, he lied that Inspector Michael was killed by a mob who used a stick to hit his head when they came for a raid at new market.
He encouraged them to take heart and let it go, as a result of this information provided by the OC, some police officers from the same community of late Inspector Michael began to protest at the station, a pandemonium ensued and later the OC Anti-Kidnapping SP Pius Ugwuala called Uka aside and told him Inspector Michael (his brother) was shot by one of his colleagues by name Inspector Chidi mistakenly.
Members of the team and why Michael was killed at new market was not disclosed to Uka.
Further investigation by some police friends of late Inspector Michael revealed that the leader of the team who went for the raid is one inspector Obi Anthony and the officer that shot Michael is inspector remained officer Chidi.
Effort to gain access to the counter to find out how the incident entry was made when the anti-kidnapping team returned to the station was resisted.
The reason behind the cover-up is still unknown, even as at the time of this report, no member of the family including the brother of late Inspector Michael who is a serving Police Officer under the same command have been taken to the mortuary to see the corpse.
They killed Michael and deposited his corpse in the mortuary and went back to their business as usual as if nothing happened; a young man who is serving his country will be killed like a dog and no responsible statement from the appropriate authority is not acceptable.
That is not the best practice. The picture which has been obtained is a fact that there was a planned to conceal the gruesome murder by the colleagues of Michael because the initial story was that he was hit on the head by a mob at new market.
Let us even say that he was killed by an angry mob, we beg to ask if any arrest has been made and how come there wasn’t any eye witness to the raid in such a public location.
We are not going to allow this kind of barbaric act be swept under the carpet. We want justice for Michael Adama, the community insisted.
The Inspector General of Police is a well respected and disciplined Officer; we are confident that he will not allow this kind of evil thrive under his watch.
The slain Officer who was transferred to Nsukka less than two months ago with other colleagues as a team for an assignment was recalled back and replaced with another officer before the completion of their assignment in Nsukka, he was then reassigned to the anti-kidnapping section in Enugu.
Members of his family and the entire Ette people are demanding for answers because until his death, Michael, bitterly complained that his boss the OC Anti-Kidnapping Unit SP Pius Eziubochi Ugwuala has threatened to kill him over a disagreement and he has succeeded.
Is it a crime to serve this country? We hear of extrajudicial killing of innocent Nigerians by members of the police force on regular basis, but one that involves the killing of a Police Officer by his colleague in the course has to be an aberration and the perpetrators of this evil conspiracy must face the law.
We are sending our legal team to meet the CP Enugu to seek for justice for Adama and we hope it get all the anticipated result. An incident that happened since on 21st January, 2022 and up till now 25th January, 2022 his wife and Children are still waiting for their bread winner to return from work.
We are in pain and the only thing that will comfort us is justice for Late Inspector Adama Micheal is an indigene of Ette in Igbo-Eze North Local Government of Enugu State.

Daughters of Dr. Charles Ononiwu, Chiamanda and Chiamaka, Launch Debut Books to Uplift Hearts Facing Life’s Struggles
Joel Ajayi
At just 18 and 20 years old, Chiamanda and Chiamaka Ononiwu — daughters of renowned Nigerian surgeon Dr. Charles Ononiwu — have achieved a remarkable milestone with the release of their debut inspirational books, Do Not Be Afraid and Waterfalls.
Their literary journey began six years ago, during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic. While the world was engulfed in fear and uncertainty, the then 13- and 15-year-old sisters turned inward, using writing as an outlet to process their emotions, express their faith, and reach out to others with messages of hope and resilience.
What began as a quiet act of creativity blossomed into two powerful books that now serve as beacons of light for readers navigating life’s storms.
Eighteen-year-old Chiamanda Ononiwu is the author of Do Not Be Afraid. A passionate Electrical Engineering student , she is also a proud alumna of Intellichild TLC and Valedictorian of Great Blessings School, Class of 2022.
In her book, she addresses the emotional challenges many young people face and draws from her personal faith to offer guidance and encouragement.
Her elder sister, Chiamaka Ononiwu, 20, is a final-year medical student at Babcock University in Nigeria. She penned Waterfalls, a heartfelt and deeply spiritual work she describes as divinely inspired. Chiamaka views her writing as a calling — a mission to uplift souls and bring hope to those struggling with life’s challenges.
“Personally, I would say it all started with the idea of inclusion, inspired by real human experiences,” Chiamaka shared. “We’ve had conversations with people who’ve gone through difficult situations — including issues and those stories helped shape what I write today.”
She added, “It’s all about encouraging people to face life with faith. We began this journey during a dark time in the world, and I felt called to create something that could offer comfort and hope — not just locally, but globally.”
The official book launch and signing ceremony took place on Wednesday in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, and was attended by family, friends, colleagues, and well-wishers. It was a celebration of creativity, faith, and youthful brilliance, as the sisters presented their work to an inspired audience.
Speaking at the event, Chiamaka emphasized the core message of her book: “Waterfalls reminds readers that God is always watching over His people. He doesn’t bring fear — He brings peace, hope, and love. I want readers to find comfort and assurance in that truth.”
For Chiamanda, her book is a message to young people who may feel overwhelmed by life’s pressures: “Do Not Be Afraid is especially for youth navigating difficult times. No matter how hard life gets, you can always find strength and direction in God’s word.”
Writing came naturally to both sisters. Chiamaka recalled, “Even as a child, I loved writing short stories for my siblings. When the opportunity came to publish, I knew it was time to share my message with a wider audience.”
Despite their demanding academic paths, both young women balanced their studies with writing through perseverance and faith.
Chiamanda and Chiamaka are united by a shared dream — to inspire people across the world with their writing.
Chiamaka expressed Further; “Our biggest hope is that these books will reach people who need to know that God is real, that He’s always with them, and that through Him, anything is possible,” Chiamaka said.
With Do Not Be Afraid and Waterfalls, the Ononiwu sisters have not only created literary works — they’ve created lifelines. Their voices, grounded in faith and driven by purpose, remind readers everywhere that even in the darkest moments, God’s light never fades.
Their father, Dr. Charles Ononiwu — a distinguished surgeon and deeply devoted parent — also spoke at the event, sharing the journey from his perspective.
“For me, my number one priority has always been to care for children — not just medically, but also by encouraging them academically and in the basics of life,” he said.
He recounted a moving moment with Chiamanda, who approached him with the idea of sharing her story publicly to inspire others.
“She came to me and said she wanted to talk to her peers, to share how she had been comforted, and to help them see that everything would be okay,” he recalled. “As a father, my role was to guide her. I support both of them, help activate their strengths, and provide direction.”
Dr. Ononiwu made the decision to fund the publication of their books himself, believing in the power of their message.
“I told them, ‘You have something the world needs. You can make an impact in the lives of others,’” he said. “I believe every child has a gift. It is our responsibility as parents not to dismiss them, but to help them discover and nurture their talents.”
He encouraged all parents to support their children’s creative pursuits, noting, “Every person has something special inside them — no one is without talent. It’s just a matter of looking inward, discovering that gift, and sharing it with the world.”
